Joe, if the stuff you are hauling is under a few hundred pounds you
might try a mountain climbing store--their pulleys require a
carabiner, but are very easy to use and to add to a line in the midpoint.
I use them for everything I do, although I have a number of the heavy
and heavy duty snatch blocks. The climbing ones are light weight--
ounces instead of pounds and are probably speced at 2000 pounds,
meaning about 300 or 400 max working load.
