Tethrd One Stick Gen 3's - Season review so far

Plebe said:
I’ve been happy with everything from Real Deal Amsteel, but this issue probably goes beyond construction. If the Dyneema material is being damaged, it’s more to do with the stick than the rope.

One is pulled out of the bury and one has strands cut or damaged. Not almost cut in half but it was stressing me out and I guess I was being slighly dramatic. Still, two of the four OG ropes don’t appear to be safe to use anymore.
 
Does anybody know if the RDA daisy chains are authorized to work with the one sticks?

There is no “authorized”. It’s all grey area, and anything not OEM is worse for argument, but not necessarily worse for performance/personal safety. Reading the Manuel on them, they push all personal liability to the consumer/user.

RDA is a forum member. I’d reach out to him and hear him out.

Looks like free wind checker material built right into those ropes, BONUS!

I went with these and have been very happy with them....

I found RDA’s replacement ropes for the One Sticks and just ordered some. I didn’t notice the three pages of rope mods he has so thought he only sold daisy chains on the first page.

Ha these are $2.50 cheaper but I like @srtsaddlehunter’s style!
 
Got the RDA replacement ropes in yesterday…. They seem way better built than the OG Ropes from Tethrd! I also bought two of his 2ft’ daisy chain extensions for the Sladder. I’m hoping they work with it.

I replaced my Tethrd ropes immediately with some 1/8" real Amsteel. Decided to DIY my ropes and, after fiddling with them for 2 hours, I finally remembered why I just buy them!! :D I did finish them though, ;)

Also, really disappointed in the quality of rope that comes with the Tethrd One Sticks. Paying a premium price for premium sticks, you'd think they'd include quality Amsteel. The knockoff Dyneema really leaves a lot to be desired with abrasion resistance and overall quality. It came on my Skeletors, but those were half the price of the One Sticks. :|

How are you getting the one sticks up the tree with a tree stand? All my hunts so far with the ones have been with a saddle. On the saddle is a genesis 3d that holds my sticks quietly as I climb.
Tree stand has been a nightmare. I cannot bring the sticks up on my rock climbing harness without them banging onto either the carabineer or stand.

I’ve been using The Amsteel Guy QuickDraw’s to carry my sticks and platform since last season:

I used the wind chime method years ago, but much prefer the security & adjustable height of Molle Talons. If I wasn’t using Talons I’d go with gear ties to prevent the hanging dangles.

I have one of these zip tied to each side towards the front of my stand. The one stick step slides in and holds it pretty solid. They are a kinda stiff rubber. Not gonna break.

How are you liking that sladder?

I’ve done two climbs with it and it’s worked fine. There definitely is a bit of a learning curve with foot placement and the top rung is almost superfluous but I haven’t had the time I’ve wanted to commit to it yet. So far it works as designed. I would say at this point so far, it is probably the same to me in terms of climb “difficulty” as a one stick. I’m not saying it’s the same as one sticking or worse or better, it has nuances as does one sticking. But so does multiple sticks climbing.
 
I'm gunna try this setup with the stand. These versa hangers worked absolutely flawlessly last year with the beast sticks. I got the adapter for the one sticks so we'll see how it goes. I always set my first stick, then put the second on top of the that one then climb with 2 at my side 20231023_153519_compress67.jpg20231023_153539_compress31.jpg
