KNaider/SWaider with climbing sticks

[Dale]

It has been a long time since I have been this excited about the up coming season. I really like the 4 step aides method and the video that no ninja showed. I think that defines truly how to be versatile and light weight mobile hunter. Thanks for the well done video.

I was having the same problem with the knaider but if you slide the hook to the 9oclock position on your knee it makes a world of difference you can kinda twist your hip on the way up and hook very easily then straight out and stand

That looks like it is extremely versatile

very versatile, light, and compact

Thanks for the video, Noxninja. I'm so impressed that I want to add this method to my arsenal. A saddle hunter can't have too many ways to hoist his rump up a tree.

@g2outdoors can you post your purchased gear list for the knaider/swaider in your video?

That’s great I was hoping for a climbing stick method of knaiders to come out

I started doing this same thing. I couldn’t get comfortable with bringing my knee straight up and leaning so far away from the tree. Twisting just added so much stability.

Thanks @noxninja .... you are truely a tree climbing Ninja! This has to be the lightest climbing method of all time.

Instead of using amsteel for the attachment point for the Swaider /knaider on the sticks , could you use tubular webbing girth hitched instead ?

What you think?

I girth hitch an overhand looped rope, it works just fine. I would assume tubular webbing would work for the sw. Not sure if I'd be as confident catching it with the kn hook though.

@g2outdoors what size is the amsteel loop you are using with the knaider/swaider?

Guys, is there any problem using 7/64” Amsteel for my continuous loops? Do I need 1/4”?

 

[JSEXTON23]

Anybody? 7/64”? 1/8”? 1/4”? Does it matter?

thought i'd bring this back up...

did you ever get an answer ? and if so where can you get the loops already made?

I never did get an answer. I know you can buy pre-made loops from some of the same places you can buy the Amsteel from, but I would just make my own. It's super simple, especially with a coat hanger modified to bury the rope. It's got a high enough break strength, so I know 7/64" would hold. My only concern is the diameter might be a bit small for the hook on the knaider to hold onto. Does that make sense?
