I'll be making him say pretty please if he wants to sit by my fire coming in empty-handed like that.

There are plenty of ways we all prefer to make things nicer and/or easier in our lives. You pick yours. I'll pick mine. 'Friend'. LOL!
 
My friend is feeling it...you can pick your friends and you can pick your nose...but you cant pick your friends nose.its just weird.like playing football with crutches.all the players fall down....it just might hurt more for the dude falling on the crutches.thats why its called a handycap ...carry less gear you can carry more beer.....to the fire ....like a champion who gets invited back

Ooooo-k.
 
Ok...not trolling on a serious note.when i started reading this thread i had no intention of changing my climbing style or gear that i was comfortable with.but i had already been watching Scott's 2 tether climbing vids for a while and deep down i knew it was the truth when it comes to ultra light ,quiet and stealth.i loved my single step system but i allso knew it was pointless if only i could learn to 2tc.but like riding à bike you need to want to learn it.point being if you and i mean everybody who has looked at this thread ,its because deep down you know you dont need anything but 2 tethers to get up a tree despite your cool looking beloved (extra) gear.and it is just that extra. if you are on saddle hunter .com its because its in your nature to go lighter faster farther higher quieter and to carry less to do so.thats why i say ...ALL roads lead to 2tc.or you wouldnt even look at this thread.

Well my son and I tried the 2TC method using amsteal aiders covered with the fuel line. We struggled with the aiders quite a bit, but other than that it was pretty cool.

I have two of THESE arriving Saturday and we'll try it again. I have to believe we'll get a nice rhythm going, but we'll see.
It's worth the effort and expense to give it more than half-a-try.

I have one of those things and thought it would be great for 2TC. It’s nice for perfectly straight trees, but I experienced a couple of wicked kick-outs with it on leaning trees. No harm done, but for me personally, I can mitigate less than perfect gravitational challenges better with my foot against the tree in a webbing loop than I could with that plastic aider/step.

Wicked kickouts when 2tc.........no harm done...over 3000 posts without harm done not one gouge or little scratch from a stick......cant even iiiiimagine! that on a thread about sticks....Soooooo...i had a catastrophique kickout once 2tc.and violently sat back down in my saddle gouging my anus on a strap softer than a cats ass ,blood gushing as i reach for my tourniquet in my mandatory 2tc.dedicated first aid kit to put around my neck to stop the bleeding ,luckly i had my phone so i didnt need to scream out to my wife in embarissment and could be life flighted out of my yard.it was so scarry that my anus puckered up and stopped its own bleeding befor the medics got there ....sooooo lucky that time...there...now it sounds like a thread about sticking to make the majority of people feel like its safe to do.....back to trolling.

What's the green wire gate on the foot tether for?
Click to expand...
On rare occasions (for me) passing limbs but every time I hunt it first serves as the place my backpack goes when I am retrieving and installing my ring of steps during the climb and then as the means to attach my backpack once I am at hunting height. You can see how I attach the pack in the picture below. The foot tether goes up under the main tether while hunting and gets rotated to the 2 o'clock position. The distel hitch with the wire gate goes up to lock it in place and then the backpack gets clipped in.
