Anybody have any information when they will be available to the public? Are there any out there that anybody has used...whats your thoughts...likes/dislikes. Thinking seriously about trying them this year
 
Two other 10 page threads going on these already too.

 
I'm also looking at the Catalyst stick
To be honest I like the idea of Titanium vs carbon fiber. Having worked with both materials I would take the Titanium sticks any day. I guess we will see how they all hold up.
 
Not 2 be the dic# but isn't there a vendors section just for silly threads like this?.....I don't see how sticks and impatient peeps fit into the "anything saddle related" section.

Everybody know that, though cool, they still just a climbing stick....how much better can they really be vs current options
 
“Released” over 3 months ago. Been coming soon ever since. Weird marketing strategy, but there have been countless threads about their availability. I’m not going to be surprised if they suddenly become available just after the stimulus money starts flowing.

Maybe he’s going for a trilogy. Whatever it takes to keep my mind off team five.

Hopefully we will get some actually reviews when they start being released. I don’t know how many staffers Tethrd has but from the Facebook presence it looks to be a whole lot of them pumping these things. A few things I have noticed with the videos and pics I have come across.

1). There is very little room for your feet on the steps. With my boots I would be lucky to just get my toes on the steps.

2). They seem ungodly noisy even with stealth strips

3). I saw the one video even though it wasn’t mentioned you can see one of those glass filled nylon nipples was broken off already.

They do seem very light though. Hopefully they are putting them through the ringer testing them and will be updating them prior to release.

That hollow thin walled rigid tube just begs to clank against something. Every sound the legs or steps make, and every sound made by the stick will resonate through that tube like a megaphone. This was already seen on the video on utube. They will need to be filled with foam to be no more noisy, and the same weight, as every other stick, with better steps that pack better. And with that, what’s the point?

When it breaks Tethrd will probably blame it on the foam, and then come out with Gen2 sticks that are bigger and heavier.


Semper Fi,

I heard the tubing will be filled with milkweed to deaden sound and plenty of wind direction indicators...

Or fortune cookie papers.:)

There are a lot of innovative concepts here, but like any stick still some drawbacks.

I see they list an included vinyl sound tube barrier. Wonder if that is just end caps, or something new.

I don’t think they do themselves any favors with statements like: Oh yeah…it was completely silent and included no buckles. Put that in your pipe and smoke it.

Maybe I’m too old to be impressed by such chest thumping. Ironically, here we are talking about what folks may want to put in the pipe....and based on the “things we find in the woods” thread, there could be some wacky stuffing getting smoked.

So it's been six months since announcement. Would you think a delay this long is merely a logistics issue due to China virus and overseas glue production, or a design rework to address issues found in testing?

Hypothetical question.... If u make 50 prototypes and have people use them for 1 season and there is 1 failure of some component,..... Do u go ahead with it or does the 1 failure cause u to stop and redesign?
