I can't help but notice a lot of latitudes for sale in classifieds latelyAnybody own(ed) both the Tethrd One Sticks and Latitude SS Carbons care to comment on how they compare? I'm less interested in price and more interested in packability, standoff, setting/bite, and overall robustness on the tree.
I've noticed the same!! Gives me hesitancy!!I can't help but notice a lot of latitudes for sale in classifieds lately
I think the only people that have tried both and prefer the latitude just hate tethrd.
I love the way my Skeletors bite into the tree and the rope attachment method that comes stock. The Skeletors are just so flipping heavy. I'm primarily concerned about how well the standoffs of the Carbon SS sticks bite into the tree.I don't know how he feels now but @Savedbygrace2001 doesn't strike me as a Tethrd hater.
I believe he had the Tethrd sticks and bought the Latitude sticks and wrote of them:

Do you find they "bite" into the tree well? Also, is it easy to get the sticks tight with their attachment method?Haven’t tried the Tethrd sticks but I like the Latitude sticks so far. I have no concerns about their strength. Granted I’m only like a buck seventy. Although I learned not to order through Latitude. Just order from Scheels or some other vendor. Waited two weeks and they hadn’t shipped. Got my Scheels order in three days.

Thanks for the assistance, @Plebe! Wish I was hunting instead of pretending to work while surfing SH.com!!These guys seem to hunt a lot so they may not be on the forum as much during season, but maybe a couple of these forum members will see this and chime in on that.

I have that take the rope off and they are still stuck to the tree thing with my OneSticks too. Happened on 3 of 4 tonight when I climbed down.Still liking mine after several sits. I am surprised how well they bite actually. Just looking at the standoffs, it doesn't look like they would, but I haven't had any issues. They even do the take the rope off and they are still stuck to the tree thing. Love the rope containment and attachment. I broke my original strap, and now use a Voile strap.

Totally agree. My Hawk Helium did it a coupleI think it’s become standard with metal standoffs. Beast, Shikars, EWO, Timber Ninjas, etc. I didn’t project CF standoffs biting like that, but here we are. Everyone’s doing it.
Do I think it’s imperative to a climbing stick, not really. Doesn’t really move the needle for me at all.
