    Prototype weight launcher for SRT access

    I love climbing SRT/on ropes in general, and I think it's a great way to get to hunting height. Of all the climbing methods, second only to spikes, I think rope has the most potential for tree access. There is one issue - placing the line in the tree - which has been on my mind for a couple...

    Warm clothing suggestions..

    Hey all, looking to upgrade my hunting clothing but not sure which way to go. I have a pretty strict budget but $200 towards Cabela's. I'm looking for something for mid to late season that can be flexible with adding layers. I get sweaty easily so I want lightweight layers that I can pack in...

    How sharp are your broadheads?

    (this isn't about broadheads) A while back we were discussing the possibility of severing a rope under tension. There was a video that showed one being cut under tension severing very easily. I couldn't find the exact one at the time.. here is another that is different but shows a similar...

    Rope climbing - rope placement

    So, I finally made it into the woods. Ran a little late and didn't have a tree prepped. Busted out the throw line after choosing a tree, bam...hit the spot first time in the dark and got into the tree just in time to spook a buck when putting an arrow on my bow. Decent hunt, no shots but some...

    Static rope sale

    FYI I picked up some edelreid 10.5mm static rope on treestuff. 99-127 feet for $50 on their sale page. I got 99 feet so .50/foot. Not a bad deal, free shipping too! Love tree stuff. Trying to decide if I like it more than my km-max 11mm. Can never have too much rope I guess. Need to climb on...

    Southeast MI public land hunting

    Seeing as we have a few SE MI hunters on the site, I thought I would put this thread up for some discussion. Here's some food for thought: -where are you hunting? Public, private? -what do you dislike/like about it? More importantpy, how do you adapt? -given the short drive to other areas...

    Midwest October thoughts..

    So, its October 10 and I have yet to get out hunting this year. In MI the season goes oct-jan1. I am working nights which is tough on the family, so I need to make every day count! I am hunting land I have been on before so I am getting a decent idea of where the deer move, but its public land...

    Let's see your setup!

    First of all...I would post a pic of mine, but can't for two reasons: I don't have a good solution for carrying everything, and its all also torn apart in various stages of poison ivy decontamination! So I am trying to come up with a solution for my mobile public land hunting setup. I need to...

    Home made plywood platform (work in progress)

    Hey all. I have posted a few times seeking a solution for a platform that doesn't screw into a tree (illegal here) that won't cost a fortune. This is a work in progress. I don't suggest anyone uses this as a plan to make their own steps under the assumption that I've done it and it's safe. I...

    Platform questions

    Hey all. First post here, love the forum. Hunted a couple times out of my aero hunter last year and love it. Just trying to figure out the platform. I previously just used the top step of my climbing sticks which is obviously not optimal. Would you mind answering the following questions about...
