    How many times did you punch yourself

    I have the same exact thumb release and have liked it, except for the time when the spring on the jaws wore out and I did punch myself pretty good. Sent it to them and they fixed it and sent it back to me, so I am still using it. I'm thinking something is off with yours and I would consider...

    Benefits of a 1 piece saddle system

    Haha, love it. Looking forward to getting farther out into these mountains by me to get onto more deer and hogs. Now all I need is an Alpaca to haul the meat out with!

    Benefits of a 1 piece saddle system

    Sounds like you've got the minimalist thing figured out. Really looking forward to using the 2TC method this year, along with a ring of steps. The places where I hunt are all ridges, bottoms, and the good spots are almost always a mile or more from where you can park. I know that's nothing...

    Benefits of a 1 piece saddle system

    Got it, super helpful. One last question, when you are going over limbs, do you have an extra friction hitch that you connect your bridge to on your other rope?

    Benefits of a 1 piece saddle system

    Thanks for the explanation. I guess I'm just trying to wrap my mind around this though - what does it add to have the carabiner if the rope is still the weakest part of the system? Is there an additional benefit with the carabiner on the girth hitch for 2TC? I'm just building my own 2TC...

    Benefits of a 1 piece saddle system

    Solid setup for sure. I've seen this on multiple threads and it looks like you have the most simple and efficient system I can imagine. One question though, why do you use carabiners for the girth hitch to the tree?

    Why don't yall 2TC?

    Did another couple of climbs yesterday and I am also finding this method to be much easier than I thought it would be. Getting quicker at transitioning around branches and am finding this method overall to feel much safer than climbing with sticks. It's no problem for me going down with 2TC...

    Why don't yall 2TC?

    Awesome, great info! Thanks and I appreciate the experience. I've been using a system for the past few years of having two stick with a moveable aider that I made. In my few experiences with the 2TC method, I think it may actually be easier than using a moveable aider and I am excited to keep...

    Why don't yall 2TC?

    I'm curious how many of you who are experienced in 2TC use tether handles? I've done a handful of climbs so far and am really liking the 2TC method without handles, but can see the safety concerns in case of a slip and fingers getting pinched. Would love to get some feedback on those who use...

    Does anyone just use the ring of step?

    I've never tried a ring of steps, but hoping to this season. Do others have similar problems with putting on layers, peeing, etc on these steps?

    Friction Hitches

    Awesome, thank you! Made a couple of.these and plan to try them out.

    Friction Hitches

    How do you tie the dogbone tender? I'd like to give this a try.

    Anyone use John Eberharts scent control methods?

    Since I only hunt on public land, trying to do scent control regimens took a great deal of fun out of hunting. I enjoy mobile hunting because I get to be spontaneous, which is very different from the other parts of my life. When I learned how sensitive a deers nose is, along with wind...

    tethrd predator level screw

    There are many different things people have done. I simply cut a piece of an old bicycle tire tube and wrapped it around the post. I added a one inch piece of tubular webbing underneath the tubing, where the screw hits it. Easy fix and no noise.

    The lightest, fastest climbing method. This will change the way you HUNT!!!!!

    Then I can't figure out how to explain my trip to the emergency room after attempting to climb and descend a tree with only a rope tied between my feet... I truly respect anyone that can do this, maybe I'm just getting a bit more wary of my athletic prowess as I get a bit older.
