Here are a few Instructional pictures and information on how to use "The Hanger".
"The Hanger" is ready to use when purchased, it is recommended to look inside the bag to observe how the bag is loaded (with 65 feet of cord). "The Hanger"
is very easy to use and will make life a lot easier when it comes to hanging your bear bag (Food Bag) up into a tree (s). Below you see how the bag is
used, if you miss your target the following pictures show the other methods of throwing "The Hanger" without reloading. Although "The Hanger" can be thrown without additional weight from time to time you may need additional vertical height you can slip a rock (dirt or sand)down the side of the bag.
With the ring end of the cord looped and around your wrist (not shown) hold and throw the bag like you would a baseball. Notice how the cord is not hanging low, this is by design so that there is no entanglement with the foliage or ground debris such as branches or bushes.
Note: When looking for a suitable tree to suspend your food from, it can be done with one or two trees. With one tree be sure to look for a tree with a strong over hanging branch suitable to hold the weight of your food bag.
If hanging using two trees or additional weight it may be likely that you will need an extra length of rope to suspend between the trees.
Note:
Think of "The Hanger" as a needle and the rope a thread you use (The Hanger) to help in snaking your heavier rope up and through the trees. This way you can free up the hanger for other camp chores.

Note: Observe in pictures A, B, C, and D how "The Hanger" is being held with the right hand and loaded with the left thumb and index finger. The cord is being loaded in two to three inch increments at a time, then pushed down periodically as shown in photo D.

If you throw and miss your target your first try you have two other options of throwing "The Hanger" without reloading it.
Be sure to put dirt, rock, or sand in the bags for weight. With the brass O-ring cord around your wrist and
the bag on the ground loop the cord in layering loops with the first loop inside your hand then the
following loops toward the tips of your fingers, so that when thrown the cord will feed off your hand
one loop at a time.
