    Almost a tether mishap

    I've been hunting out of a saddle for 4 or 5 years, and like most of yall I'm always looking for a way to simplify and drop some weight at the same time. In my efforts to do that, I started using a daisy chain looped over two screw in steps (I think I stole this from Eberhart). I love the...

    Bar none best method

    So I'm interested in some opinions. For background, I have lone wolf sticks, preset bolts, cranford screw ins. What I'm wanting is the skinny on what yall have found to be the best combination of quick, compact, light, and easy, to get up a tree as high as 30'. This is a big piece of...

    Kite/Flex Pics Please

    Cranford vs...

    Hey fellas, I've never used Cranford screw ins. I've used Gorillas (go in easy, kinda heavy, a little bulky), and I've used Ameristeps (mostly just suck if you're driving them strictly by hand). My interest in the Cranford is mostly because they can be folded to be more compact and I figure...

    Sitters

    I’ve been leaning exclusively for a couple of years, but I’ve been having knee trouble and it would help to be able to sit more. From a standpoint of tree selection, equipment, and setup, how are you sitters doing it? Knee pads? Straddling the tree? Picking a tree with more lean to it? Hope my...
