    Adding bibs after I’m hooked up

    Holy moly, I might be late to this idea but I hate walking/ climbing in my bibs so I usually pack them in them dress at the tree. This morning is was 35 so I had layers on. This afternoon it was just too dang hot, 55*F, to wear much more than a light layer while walking a mile back to a stand...

    1st kill from saddle.

    2nd season hunting from a saddle, hit a nice buck quartering away last year with a rage through the lungs but it never opened and never found the deer, it took until Friday to get my first deer from the saddle. Me and the wife got out with her crossbow all day after the kids left for school but...

    Aerolites sticks with 3 step aiders

    Made a 3 step aider last night and used it today, it’s harder to get my sticks set at or above head height but the aider worked slicker than snot. Other than the frost knot slipping a bit and making the step a bit too far,it made it hard to get my size 14 boots out, they worked great. I got to...

    Is your Platform uncomfortable?

    Anyone else find that a platform ends up putting too much pressure on their feet? I have 20+ hours in my diy screw step platform now and I find it less comfortable than using 3-5 screw ins. The first 3 sits it was comfortable but the last 2 my feet have been barking. I’ve tried changing foot...

    Saddle Shooting with a recurve

    Any other trad hunters here have an issue with under drawing while in the saddle. Last year I had no issues when shooting out of the saddle but this year I’m hitting what amounts to 3/5 yards low when I’m trying to thin the squirrel herd some. Haven’t had a shot at a deer yet but plan to aim a...

    Platform for screw in steps

    I was thinking about a cheap platform in place of a ROS. I actually don't mind them other than needing to adjust my feet more than I'd like. I remembered we used to use a small plywood rectangle with 6'' piece of steel angle slid over a screw in step for a seat back in the days of wooden...

    Missed WE Stepps by minutes again.

    I swear I cannot catch a break on snatching some Stepps. Just missed the 4th or 5th set by minutes again. Its getting so bad I've started checking the site every couple hours and of course i checked at 6 and boom they posted at 6:28 and sold before I checked again. Anyone have any they...

    PSA about why to read directions

    So today it was 40* and I knew from last year my uninsulated boots need either 2 layers of socks or some foot warmers to get by. Last year I just stuck the hand warmer between my sock and boot, worked fine. In a rush to get out I forgot a 2nd pair of socks so I found some of those adhesive toe...

    Screw step platform configurations

    I know I'm eventually going to get a Stepp platform but for now I have screw in steps. So far I've played around with setting them up. I tried 4@90*, 4@75*/105*, 3 covering the 1/2 I'm hanging on. Ideally id have them preset and could use more for less distance between steps but right now...

    Couple things I thought I'd try.

    Camo Form tape on steps makes them silent. my duct tape was sticky after i put my weight on it for a bit. Tried Gaffing tape and it was sticky as well and never really lost its smell. Searched the Forums and didnt see anyone try metal epoxy or Jb weld with aluminum angle and screw in...

    Anyone else have noisy sticks when used as part of platform.

    Ill admit it was my first time using the stick as a step in my platform. Worked great except for the noisy it made everytime i shifted my weight. Im a big guy 6'2'' 300 lbs so Im maxing out my sticks but while climbing they are silent its just when shifting weight off of them to my other...

    Carrying Tree Steps

    How do some of you guys carry in your screw in tree step? I figure Ill need 3-4 steps for my platform and bow hanger. aside from carrying one step in each pocket or gear bag what do you do. I suppose wrapping them with tape may work. Mainly worried about noise but carrying steps damn sure...

    First stab at a sit drag and saddle.

    After linking up with @Scott F today and checking out his sit-drag setup he hunts out of, it definately got my gears turning. I went through some of the old gear I had hoarded from my Army days and started stripping some webbing and sacrificed a duffle bag and a Molle carrier. Borrowed my...
