    Stinking wool

    I own a Cabelas wool sweater with windshear lining and wore it only briefly a couple of times. Today, I decided to wash it using non-scented detergent and then baking soda in the rinse cycle. It smells ten times worse now. Does anyone have a surefire remedy for this?

    Another Frankenstick

    Here's a platform I redneck engineered a few years back utilizing a $12 steel climbing stick from Farm & Fleet with a piece of industrial grade molded fiberglass grating bolted to the top. It's best used as a preset since it's not exactly light weight or pleasant to carry. Once I get to the...

    Helium rope mod using Amsteel whoopie sling

    I'm planning to modify my new Helium sticks with a DIY versabutton and rope. I saw some 7/64" Amsteel Blue whoopie slings on Ebay and thought that maybe the whoopie offered a good substitute for trying to tie knots in Amsteel...

    Saddle soap or?

    I'm interested in making both my Guido's Web tether strap and lineman's belt slide/adjust a bit easier. They seem to be sort of dry and hard to adjust. Saddle soap has been recommended. Does anyone use it and can you recommend a brand that has a hunter-friendly scent (or, even better, no...

    What's in your pack?

    I see guys doing day hunts with huge packs and wonder to myself what all they're carrying. Personally, I tend to be somewhat of a minimalist when it comes to packing stuff into the woods. My pack contains my lunch, water bottle, fixed blade knife, small folding saw, drag rope which doubles...

    CLOSED - Guidos Web on AT

    I found this while perusing the Archerytalk classifieds. Looks like a good deal for someone. I wish it was my size. http://www.archerytalk.com/vb/showthread.php?t=5274385

    Rope service life

    I have a set of Rapid Rails that I bought new maybe mid to late1990's(?). They came outfitted with whoopie slings and 's' hooks as the means of attachment. Over the years, they have served me as one of many climbing devices and have probably never been left on any one tree for more than 3-4...

    DIY XOP platform

    Here's my DIY version of the Ernie platform using the latest XOP seat, XOP six point brackets, and a 1.25" × 1.25" × 12" piece 6061 aluminum tube. I did not install the steel seat pivot bushing like Ernie does but I did source a pivot bolt that has a full 2.25" long shank in order to eliminate...

    New Sit-Drag

    Brand new Sit-Drag, never been used. It's the "Special Deal" model as seen in E.Z. Hunter's online store that sells for $32.95 plus $9.95 shipping. I ordered a Kestrel so won't need this. $33 TYD in lower 48.

    Climbing harness with lineman belt loops

    It appears that most rock climbing harnesses aren't equipped with the side loops to attach a lineman belt. I'm thinking about a harness to use with my SitDrag and would like one that has this feature. I've seen some chinese-made harnesses that appear to fill the bill but I'm not sure what to...

    Checking in from IL

    Former Treesaddle owner here, just joining the site. I sold my TS about five years ago due to an injury which has since been resolved. Last year, I created a DIY bosun seat that worked okay but not quite as handy as the old TS. I'm planning a modified Sit Drag for this season. Thanks to...
