If I use it for high branches when I'm already in the tree, I retrieve it when I get to the branch I hooked it around. I wrap the rope around my waist and loop the end through the hook like pic related. Sometimes I clip a water bottle to my belt but I always have the chalk bag and the pine tar pouch.
