Why We Love This Rope

When it comes to bear bagging or rigging outdoor gear, not all cordage is created equal. This throw line punches above its weight — offering an unbeatable combo of strength, visibility, and packability. Whether you’re tossing over a tree limb or tensioning your shelter, this rope holds up in all conditions.

We chose Notch Brand because it’s trusted by arborists and pros looking for camping accessories who depend on rope performance daily — and if it’s strong enough for them, it’s perfect for your outdoor kit. It's the only cord we use ourselves.

A: Absolutely. The 2.2mm diameter provides plenty of strength for standard food bag setups and is perfect for PCT-style hangs.

Q: Is it slick enough to glide over branches?
A: Yes — it’s smooth, flexible, and less likely to snag than thicker or coarser ropes.

Q: Can I cut it and use it in shorter lengths?
A: Definitely. Just melt the cut ends with a lighter to prevent fraying.

Great Products

Super pleased with my new products from Hilltop. I had my dog’s picture placed on several items, so I can take her with on my AT through hike. I am leaving her behind, which will be the hardest part of my journey. At least I can see her every day on my food bag, fleece towel and tent door mat. I haven’t had time to use anything yet, but the quality is really nice.

thank you and have fun on the AT!

Great rope, very lightweight

Great rope, very lightweight. The color rubs off easily though and gets on your hands/gear. Doesn't seem to permanently stain, so not a big deal, but color does rub off.

Better Than Parachord

I have purchased this throw rope a number of times from Hilltop Packs. This throw rope is strong, doesn't appear to stretch, and has an oval configuration and a slick surface that, unlike standard paracord, allows it to more easily slide over limbs without digging in. The only nit I have with the rope is it can be a PIA to wind up as it wants to tangle due to its oval shape. This is a minor nit that does not preclude me from recommending this throw rope and certainly has not dissuaded me from repeatedly purchasing it.

Perfect Replacement

I bought this, along with a new rock bag and some carabiners from the bargain bin, and I couldn't be happier! The bag and the rope are great! Slick but strong rope for hanging my bear bag, and the rock bag is honestly just what I was looking for to replace the one I loved (from another more pricey cottage company) that my younger brother tossed into the overstory during our last trip. The new bag and rope are both bright orange, which is kind of fun, and more importantly both weigh nothing but are somehow strong as hell, which is great when you're filling it with rocks and purposely throwing that stuff at trees in the dark!

Great product

This appears to be a great product, but I won’t know for sure until I go on my hike this summer. As a side note, I mistakenly ordered this item twice, so I am returning this one.

Perfect

I bought this to hang my bear bag. Works great. Tangles less than the line i was using before and easily slides over branches without snagging. I ended up using 6' of it as a guyline for the head end of my Nemo Hornet 2P when the original guyline got so tangled that I didn't feel like messing with. I would not hesitate to recommend.

50 ft Notch Brand Rope

Notch Brand, I bought it not only for the tangle resistance but as a multiply use very light weight rope that has a 650 lb. strength which could be of help in a dire situation out there.

My Preferred Throw Line

I find this to be easier to deal with this throw line because it does not tangle. I have used the dyneema throw line, but it tangles so easily. I am thinking of buying another one because I hike into areas that threes do not have long limbs so a two-three method can work.

Awesome!

I highly recommend this rope! Doesn’t tangle and is easy to work with when hanging food bags. We recently bought another one for a friend.

I've used different throw lines but this one is my new favorite
