    Diy cayg retracting aiders?

    Yeah, I thought about using the bigger loop on the hook rather than attaching to the hook itself. The only worry I have with attaching to the hook itself is that at some point if it gets loose it could come off of the hook itself and bang on my climbing stick or something else metal. If I get a...

    Diy cayg retracting aiders?

    Nice thing about yours is that they are knots and can be adjusted. I sewed mine, so if I were to want to make adjustments it would be a pain!

    Diy cayg retracting aiders?

    I have mine the same length. They are both about 36 inches long or so. The reason for that is because when I bring one leg up, it gets attached to the bottom step of my 2 step Helium sticks, then I bring my other leg up to attach it to the top step. My third step then gets my actual feet onto...

    Diy cayg retracting aiders?

    Oh for Sure! So you don't have to mess around as you are climbing up your sticks! I used the other CAYG aiders that you put on each step and it was alright, but a lot of messing around trying to get them onto the next step each time. Then if you drop it, you better hope you have a back up aider!!!

    Diy cayg retracting aiders?

    I have darn near the same exact thing as you do. There a couple of differences in mine though. I have a bungee cord to attach to the bottom, then wrap around the back of my boot, so they don't slip off my feet. The hook on the top, I have another 2 bungee cords attached to my saddle that I put...

    Who works grave shift?

    Been working 10:30p - 6:30a for the last 7 years. Love the quietness of it, but I def. get tired by the end of the night. Only thing I have found is if I go hunt before work and kill a deer. I either have to go get it the next morning or try to get it gutted, out of the woods, in the truck and...

    Backwoods mobile aider

    I made my own 3 step aider just like the Backwoods Mobile 3 step aider. Don't have a picture of it, but I didn't care for it. My steps were not spread good enough and got pinched together pretty bad when I tried to step on them. Instead I essentially made a Versa Aider or something similar that...

    Climbing stick as Platform

    I had 2 hunts recently that I used the top of the Helium sticks before I got my Predator. I sat for about 3 hours both times. It was doable, but not the most comfortable for my feet. I found that I adjusted myself a lot in the tree to stay comfortable. An issue that I ran into was if I had a...

    TETHRD Predator shipping?

    Got my platform tonight, tried it out one stick high! That thing is going to be amazing compared to leaning against top of stick. Plan to use the top of stick still next to platform for somewhere to step around tree. Can't wait to hunt with it!

    Live from the saddle 2019

    So last night was my first sit in my new mantis saddle. I don't have the predator platform yet so I used the top of the stick. I have to say that it was more comfortable than I thought, I might just have to adjust the tether a little bit moving it up and down. I did feel a little bit of pinching...

    Really? I looked into both. I will have to check it out again and sell the one I don't want.
