    2023: Tethrd Ultralock Saddle (Formerly, the LockDown)

    If they kept things modular, and offered this new saddle without the pouches then people would just be able to transfer their current dump/roll pouches from their current saddle to the lockdown. This way they get to charge more $ by not giving the consumer the choice. I am looking forward to...

    Sitka stratus bib alternative?

    for many years I have used my rain bibs as an extra layer for when pants and thermals are not quite enough. The advantage is that they roll up and pack nice, windproof, and waterproof if it happens to rain. I feel like they get me an extra 10deg of temp drop before I break out the insulated bibs...

    Tethrd One Sticks Gen 2

    I have not bought these, but I would like to know the root cause just like everyone else. Here is a few items that I thought of: - The manufacturer in china may have received a bad batch of raw material(aluminum) that was not up to spec like what was used on the gen1 sticks. -I would be...

    Singer 201 acquired - need info

    I just got a 1955 singer 201 for free. It works, came with 1 bobbin, and I already had size 14-18 needles that fit it. My question is what is the largest size thread and needle can this thing take? I plan to use it to make a saddle.

    Predator or Seeker

    it really depends on several factors. The main one is how comfortable you feel using a smaller vs. larger platform. I wear a size 12 boot and have used the predator for 2 seasons now, and it is fine. There are times where I wished the predator was about 2in wider, but not any deeper off the...

    New Saddle Hunter from Missouri

    @RandomHero18 I hunt that part of the state also. Make sure to get plenty of practice in with the saddle before hunting with it. There are lots of ways to do things and its best to develop a routine to make yourself more efficient when actually hunting.

    Rappelling rope & one stick length?

    the ping I am talking about is sound of resonance/vibration in the metal when you tap something against the standoff.

    Rappelling rope & one stick length?

    I have noticed that the standoffs have a little bit of ping to them when they touch stuff. Has anyone tried to add shrink tube over the standoffs to silence them?

    No Madrock til August?

    For the time being I am practicing with using my tether to climb, then switching to my rappel rope with a munter or super munter hitch hooked up to a carabiner with a prussik knot clipped into my linemans loop.

    If you were going to order a ultimate one stick from EWO. You would order _ _ _

    I went with a 15" ultralight stick with a cam cleat, doublestep on top, slotted doublestep on bottom and I sewed up my own 16" 3 step aider. I will be using this in conjunction with my predator platform. I personally wouldn't want a platform smaller than the predator so I don't think I would...

    Tethrd One sticks on sale but out of stock

    There is a pin/rivet on the back of the tube that helps secure the dynalock tab. I would also imagine that it is glued like the step is. I have stood on one and was not thrilled with the foot room, but several other features of them. Are they the holy grail of sticks: no, but with a few...

    Rappelling rope & one stick length?

    my EWO order came in a few days ago and I just finished up the aider tonight. Can't wait to test it out. I went with the 15" ultralight stick but ordered the Schaefer cam cleat from a different site. The aider is tubular webbing with 3 steps at 16".

    Rappelling rope & one stick length?

    The canyon elite is a stronger rope. I believe the canyon elite is closer to 9.8mm, and the HTP is true to size. That would suggest that the canyon elite would be a bit bulkier when packed up. Last night I received my EWO order, which contained 35' of canyon c-iv since I am planning to use the...

    Upgrading tether and linesman

    I use 9mm HTP as my linemans and it works good due to it being a bit stiffer, plus it's half the cost of oplux. Oplux makes a good tether.

    Rappelling rope & one stick length?

    I hunt northern MO and in the early season i usually only go up around 15ft due to the leaf canopy. If I am on the edge of a field then I can go higher sometimes. I have a few spots where in the past with my climber I have gone up to about 20ft, but never have the need to go higher. I love how...

    Rappelling rope & one stick length?

    For one sticking what are the pros & cons of a 12" vs 15" stick length as far as functionality goes? I am only looking to use it for climbing so it will have a double step on top. Trying to decide on what ultralight stick configuration to order from EWO. For rappelling I plan to use the...

    one stick climbing

    I was considering going with that stick to try one-sticking, but after standing on the stick for a few seconds I wasn't thrilled about the short standoff depth. Are you attaching your aider to the ends of the step to get it as far off the tree as possible? I also saw that OOAL will add a cam...
