Something to consider is a 2-pulley system that will make it a lot easier to hoist.
It doesn't have to be actual pulleys, however, if you use some of the methods detailed
in this thread (good starting point at link), where
7mm Antal rings are substituted for pulleys.
I googled the bajeebers out of it and best I can tell
"Skilman Bear Hitch" is the correct attribution for it.
Caveat: There is a bit of a learning curve on this—both making it and using it—but once you get the kinks worked out, it actually, uh... works.
Testimony: I use this only on longer trips with 3 or more people, once using it to hoist food for 5 people for a 4-night trip. I don't know the total weight but we all agreed it was pretty doggone heavy that first night!
