    Anyone get a LWCG 0.5 stand yet?

    Kifaru or EXO straps and waist belt? Or maybe a full on frame lol? All kidding aside, hearing you got one of these, and like it, makes me think I really missed the boat and should get on the train. I really like the specs on it - exactly what I would design if I had the skills, but haven't...

    Looking for a set of climbing spurs.

    I’ve got a set of aluminum climbrites with the ultralight pads I’d sell if you’re still looking.

    Good day, Anyone have a batwing or six point bracket they’d be willing to part with? Lone wolf and xop are really bogged down filling orders right now. Cheers!

    Descender

    It can be reused. The rope we use is pretty close to 9mm. I honestly think you’d be better off with 9mm (or as small as you feel comfortable using) and an ATC backed up by a sterling hollow block tied in an autoblock hitch. Smaller, reusable and you could stuff it all into a small MOLLE pouch.

    Descender

    We trialed these at work! We ended up going with a different system in the end. They work surprisingly well and would be what you’re looking for fawnzy. That being said, they’re bigger than you think. Get the dimesions and weight if you can. Let me know if you have any specific questions.

    Hawk Helium Super Mini

    Tapeworm is the man! That is all... lol On a serious note. I’ll be doing a similar version to this with dan’s sticks just to see how I like them. I’d have done it with the helium’s but hawk won’t sell the standoffs.

    No Sew Amsteel Knaider / Swaider

    I don’t find it bothers me but that’s because I find the knaider/swaider to be a fairly quick process. If it did bother me I’d do a cobra weave on it with some paracord like estew22 did and see how it goes.

    No Sew Amsteel Knaider / Swaider

    Amsteel style knaider and swaider. Where I sewed the shock cord and elastic band; you could just tie knots. The whoopie sling cinches right to the boot and comes undone easily. I like the elastic calf strap because it has give. The buckle won’t come undone because the strap allows the hook to...

    No Sew Amsteel Knaider / Swaider

    I need to post pictures of mine in here. I’ve thoroughly tested them and am happy with the results. I used 1/8” Amsteel and made two woopie slings. I use the whoopie to keep them tight on my feet. I like your idea for the calf strap. I’m currently using a 1 inch elastic material but I have to...

    So much faster!!!

    I hear you man; I hate being the bearer of bad news. I sold a lone wolf climber this summer that I'm feeling like I never gave a fair shake. It's just too uncommon for me to climb a limbless tree and I never figured out a really easy method around limbs.

    So much faster!!!

    Sorry man, but they're all gone from what I know. I spoke with Cody in March and he said they're redesigning the hand climber with an expected release sometime in 2019.

    Lone wolf assault seat frame for platform

    No problem brother! Definitely use plastic or nylon washers. It keeps her quiet! And make sure to reinforce your post where the seat leveling bolt will contact it.

    Lone wolf assault seat frame for platform

    I believe Ernie was making his posts with 1.25” square tube.

    Rappelling Methods

    I used an atc backed up with an autoblock hitch all last season. Super cheap, lightweight and the hitch is on the down side of the descender - there’s no way you’re going down without controlling it.

    Knaider/Swaider tutorial

    Princess auto has a ratchet set on sale for 9$ with a 1” hook. That’s what I bought. @Peterk1234 and @swampsnyper you guys are ridiculously awesome. This system has been the first time I’ve actually enjoyed using the stepps. I liked Cain’s method except I needed 6 stepps. 3 stepps plus my...

    Kn/Sw or moveable aider

    You should just subscribe to his channel and watch all his videos. One of the best.

    Diy cast aluminum platform?

    I started thinking about doing something similar after I saw Dan's stand. I wish I could remember how think his platform was. I think it was a half inch. It gets pretty expensive, pretty quick, but you could make an excellent lightweight stand or platform.

    Climbing with linesman's belt on sitdrag AND tether on RC harness?

    Check out his one stick video. I believe that's the one where he shows making an aider and modding the RCH, but I could be wrong. Another option is to girth hitch two continuous amsteel loops to your RCH. It works for me!

    Pack and quiver placement in the tree

    I like to hang both my quiver (and pack when I use one) at 2 o'clock on the tree from a stap on hanger. I keep my bow at 9 o'clock. These seem to work the best for me as a right hand shot. If I need a second arrow, I'm not worried about movement. I reach around the tree with my right hand and...
