Changes for 2024?

I'm almost certain I'm switching to 2tc for climbing, and maybe descent next year. Probably tote rappel stuff for a while , if not forever.

Likely to try a hybrid set up, or make a seat of some sort. I don't like the bigger platforms I've tried though so I don't know if I'll spring for this or not. Might be a frame pack too if I go this route, so that's a big negative to this approach too

Gotta ditch the slider on my bow. I never use it and I seem to catch that wheel on every thing possible out there. Overall like the sight though, BG dual track.

Different boots are very likely, I need something taller for waterproofing. I might try snake boots that lace up, not that snakes are a problem
 
I added rappelling and a crossbow to my toolkit in 2023.
In 2024 I want to try some rope climbing techniques. I’ve been eyeing NYSH and JRB and some other channels for a few years now and I will finally be diving in.
On that note, I know paracord presets are a thing but on private land, does anyone leave actual climbing rope presets? Which rope would you use and why? I’m currently rappelling with HTP and I love it for its durability and price tag but I was also intrigued by @TreeRecon testing on C-IV and I really think RescTech has some great qualities as well.
Finally gonna SRT myself. But I’ve done a lot of tweaking wih my tether and will still one stick then rappel. I’ve only got 2 presets so far and one of them is beside my driveway….practice run coming soon! I will only go to presets as I’m not gonna take a ball and try to throw right before climbing. I’m trying to also make myself go in much earlier and stay later. I got a bunch of house stuff that keeps getting in the way….ugh
