    First Stick for Single Stick Climbing - Best configuration

    All I can speak to is what I’ve got and it’s the 14” Sh1kar. I debated on building up a Hawk stick that I already had but decided to buy once/cry once and if I didn’t like it, I could sell it. I built the Sh1kar with double steps on top and bottom, Harken 150, full bury amsteel, 3 step webbing...

    I’m finally convinced

    I’m located in London, KY. I have a couple saddles, climbing sticks, predator platform, rappelling gear, and a one stick setup. Shoot me a message if you want to try anything out. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    One Sticking without a Madrock Safeguard

    Sure is. Repositioning the stick and moving around as I’m climbing makes more noise than tending the hitch with the ATC on the way up and coming down it’s super quiet. I immediately noticed the safeguard can be a noisy sucker when you don’t have your weight in it. Hooking it up before the...

    What’s your Rain solution?

    I try to avoid hunting in heavy rain but I’ve seen some big bucks and had some of my best sits during light rain. I have a set of Kuiu Chugach rain gear. If the forecast is calling for lots of rain, I’ll just go ahead and wear the pants in. They aren’t overly noisy and actually breathe really...

    One Sticking without a Madrock Safeguard

    The device in the photo isn’t a Madrock. It’s a Petzl Verso ATC. The ATC will tend the friction hitch on the way up the tree like a prusik tender and then I use it to rappel out at the end of the hunt. That may have confused you. If I had the Madrock I wouldn’t need to run a hitch above it or...

    One Sticking without a Madrock Safeguard

    You could probably get by without the auto block below the device but I found that on the rappel, when I stop to take off my stick and platform, the scwabisch is pretty hard to break free and continue the rappel. The auto block does 99% of the work on the rappel for me and totally eliminates...

    Mid Layer Piece

    I have the catalyst jacket, solitude jacket, and solitude vest. I don’t think it is your intention to layer the catalyst with the solitude but just in case….. In my experience the catalyst jacket does not layer well with the solitude jacket. It’s great with the solitude vest but I did not like...

    Mid Layer Piece

    It’s tough finding the perfect piece but even tougher recommending one because everyone’s level of comfort in different temperatures varies so much. I’m running mostly First Lite now but I had Sitka in the past. Without a doubt, my favorite Sitka piece was the Celsius Midi Jacket. It’s...

    One Sticking without a Madrock Safeguard

    I haven’t but I thought the same thing. If I wasn’t just making this work till the Madrock gets here then I would get one for sure because everything does pinch. I tried running the carabiner the other way so there’s more room for the hitch and ATC but it wants to ride how it is in the picture...

    Here it is on my rappel. Just tend the hitch with your left hand and tend the auto block with your right. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    One Sticking without a Madrock Safeguard

    First time poster here so bear with me. I’ve been following this forum since I got into saddle hunting 3 seasons ago. I started climbing with the Wild Edge Steps using a Knaider and then transitioned to 4 Hawk Mini sticks using the Knaider. I really liked that method but I like to tinker and...
