    Buying Amsteel in Bulk

    Dutchware is the go to source for sure, I've bought from them countless times and their price and speed of shipping is outstanding!

    Public Hunting around Athens Ohio

    They did away with that rule. See page 8 of the '23-'24 reg book. It's now just one antlerless from all public hunting areas per license year.

    Multiple Climbing Methods and Sets of Gear

    This is how I've been doing it this season with platforms but I don't trust leaving my SRT rope in the tree so I leave paracord presets. It's the old time vs money.

    Question on adjustments

    I would try lowering your bridge connections, as in moving them down towards the bottom of the saddle more, so it is scooping up your arse more which may alleviate it riding up. If you feel like you're "hanging from a rope", your tether is too high. To me when everything is just right, I feel...

    Freak Accidents and Near Misses

    Just did this Sunday trying to get down into a ravine covered in wet leaves only I had a freaking 12volt battery and a game camera in a drawstring sack on my back. I slammed onto those so hard all I could hear was my back cracking all over. Thought for sure I broke my back. I did crack the...

    Muddy lifeline rope for saddle hunting

    A couple years ago I bought a 3 pack of Muddy Lifelines to use for my hang-ons that stay up. First one out of the package the core was poking out through the sheath on one spot. I was in shock, how could a piece of life safety gear come like this brand new??? I milked "most" of the core back...

    Attaching sticks while climbing

    Oh I'm all about DIY, I guess that's what I'm gonna have to do. I like the concept of the 3D printed molle clips and elastic loop on your stick because you don't even have to look down. Just lift the stick up and it comes free. I can sew and I made my first saddle on my cheap machine but I...

    Attaching sticks while climbing

    Always been an SRT person but just got some sticks because so many times the tree where I need to be doesn't have a crotch in the right place/no crotch/ too high, etc. My saddle only has a single row of molle and it's full however my pouches have D rings so I'm trying to figure out how to...

    Short Bridge

    This is what I did for my short bridge I added that I use for SRT climbing only. I bought a Metolius PAS shown here: https://www.metoliusclimbing.com/pas_personal_anchor_system.html I cut off the first small loop from the long one and only use the long one. This piece is designed to be...

    Suspenders

    Does your saddle have to have sewn in suspender loops to use those?

    Suspenders

    I saw these mentioned on here and they seemed like they would be perfect and they are. Minimalistic and I can put layers under and over them and you don't even know you're wearing them. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0C6DWX28N/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1

    Climbing foot rope?

    This is what I wound up doing. The 25' of 7/64" amsteel, amsteel splicing needle and shipping was $12. I used high pressure fuel line I had already which is super thick and it worked perfectly. Climbed a tree with is this morning and it worked just like my Singing Rock foot loop however packs...

    Petzl Grillon

    It might be kind of tricky to try and just feed a rope through it because of the cam but maybe??? I don't see why leaving the screw out would have any bearing on it's operations, it's still locked closed when a biner is installed, just like a Grigri. I'd bet that it's more because of a it's...

    Petzl Grillon

    To the best of my knowledge it is not sold by itself, possibly to keep it in the "working at heights" arena and away from recreational use??? The price point sure does. I use them for work and they function just like a Grigri however they are locked for descent unless you are pulling the...

    ATC for Rappelling

    I saddle hunt by SRT climbing with my Grigri so I just rap down with it instead of carrying more gear but when I'm sport rappelling, an ATC is my goto even though I'll have a Grigri with me on my harness. Assisted braking devices like the Grigri etc, suck for long rappels such as above saddle...

    Repelling question

    Bought a Muddy Safeline this fall to use for it's intended purpose and when I pulled it out of the box, the white core was poking through the jacket in two places. It's junk and the directions tell you to replace it if ever shock loaded. I wouldn't rap on it, no way. I have a couple thousand...
