I want to make some diy sticks, will be curious what you come up with.

Perfect world? Sub 2lb 24” stick, double folding steps, cam cleats with folding Standoff’s? Not that I’ve spent a lot of time on it.
The cam cleats don't work with amstel right? thats the one where you just pull the rope through right? What size amstel for the versa button option? need to find the DIY stick thread, lol.
Are you sure it will not work.The cam cleats don't work with amstel right? thats the one where you just pull the rope through right? What size amstel for the versa button option? need to find the DIY stick thread, lol.

No ideaAre you sure it will not work.
Xop stand offs are 5/8" thick. 3.5" from tree to to stick. 5.5" wide.What thickness are most of the standoff’s? I’ve got a bunch of aluminum and a water jet just waiting lol!

I'm pretty sure @g2outdoors uses amsteel with Cam cleats on his sticks. I used them at Saddle palooza playing around but for the life of me I can't say 100% maybe he can tell you. The cam cleats completely close up so I don't think that the fact that it's a hollow-core rope would have any negative effect.The cam cleats don't work with amstel right? thats the one where you just pull the rope through right?

I couldn't remember what type of rope you had on yours, whether it was amsteel or not. What type of rope do you use? And what is the main reason for not using amsteel on climbing sticks? Is it because it tends to be slick or not grab is good on slick trees? I'm sure there's been some discussion about it somewhere around here that I've read already but I can't recall at the moment.I use 1/4" for everything. I've never liked it much for climbing sticks, but some guys swear by it. Ernie Power put it on my custom Klemz style platform with a cam cleat. Seams to work great. It crushes the rope for sure, but it doesn't seem to do any permanent damage.

I think amsteel has a tendency to fray on the bark. That is why we do not use it for tethers either. I plan on using it on my sticks because it is light and strong and does not have much exposure to bark compared to a tether of linemans rope.I couldn't remember what type of rope you had on yours, whether it was amsteel or not.
