flinginairos, do you use an auto block below the ATC? Great video, always good to see how folks actually do it!

Yeah forgot to show it. I just use paracord. Some guys might not like that idea but it's not holding weight, it just keeps the rope pulled down into the ATC. works perfect

I used gaffs all last year and decided I better try my sticks out for some public land hunts I have planned this year. The sticks are ok and I do fine with them but man they are a pain! Gaffs are so much faster/easier.

Lol, in reality, the decent is way faster. At least when I do it. It only makes sense with spurs and single step. Snatch the gear and drop down.

Ok. I see everyone rappelling so why not just spur back down? Is it hard to do?

You certainly can. I just hate putting the Spurs back on in the tree and you have to be careful stepping off of your platform and back onto the tree. I usually set my rappel rope up when I first get into the tree and it literally takes me seconds to hook In and come down the tree.

It's hard to put them back on in the tree. I did it this morning and quickly reminded myself why I rappel down so I have the rope this afternoon.
 
Thanks Flingin!! And a nicely done video as usual. This gives the visual I needed to gain confidence in exploring this method in the hunting realm. Most YouTube videos give the impression that you can't be successful at this without a lot more "stuff". Thanks again bud! Now let me hit some other forums, I have a mouthful of stuff to offload today:tearsofjoy:
 
Red ,
Please add a thread for " member/contributor" of the month. August goes to Boswell and September goes to Flingin.
 
Is your rappel rope just a longer version of a tree tether? What are you using to descend?
