If that's the biggest problem you have hunting then you aren't doing too bad

Here's my low budget idea I've been using for 44 years, an old wrapper from "Deer Me" tree steps with my parachute cord wrapped around it and a hook on the end. I can put it in my pocket and with the hook can raise or lower several items and retrieve items dropped from the tree. Last year I fished my glove up from the ground. The cord is exactly the correct length I want to be from the ground also so it's a measuring cord in effect.

I use one I got in the store, and one I made that is real similar. Both are a kind of flat cord that is woven, soft to the touch, and real flexible. One I keep in my pocket for when I pack in a stand or use a climber. A second is attached to my pack and stuffed in a pocket. I just wrap one around my hand and stuff in my pocket. The other I just put loose in my pack. With very few exceptions, they don't tangle at all going from pocket to deployed. I just shake it out and lay it on the ground very loose over maybe a 4 sq. ft. area near my gear. I then use a second one linked if I need to pull up more stuff like a pack. I think a lot depends on the type of cord you use. I have a rope kept on all my hang on stands I keep set for the season. I will have to give the figure 8 a try. Could help with the one or two momentary tangles I get a season.

Just wrap it around a car wash sponge(8"x4") and when you get to the stand bend the sponge in half and take the line off.

There is a line we used to use for decoy line. It's called "Tangle Free Decoy Cord" and it's a plastic material and will not tangle no matter what you do to it.

I use accessory size climbing rope (4-6mm). Very tangle free and the thicker rope is easier on my hand when pulling up, or lowering, heavier weight like my pack and bow.

I use a piece of 1" pvc about 4-5 " long, drill a hole [ near one end ] big enough for parachute cord to pass through it, pull about 6" of cord through it and knot it so 6" remains and put a clip on that end, wrap 20-25 ' of cord around pvc, and place clip on end, clip short cord to bow and other end to belt,cord will unwrap on way up the tree, pull up re-wrap ready for next time.
Seems like alot but very quick and simple.

I have the same problem. Started using green parachute cord years ago, but it twists up like crazy.
