    Hawk Helium Stick w/ Cam Cleat

    Red squirrel, What do you mean you have to cut the Versa buttons down? I wanting to add them to my hawk heliums this week and am trying to do my homework ahead of time. Any advise would be appreciated. Thanks

    Hawk helium versa button rope mod

    I am wanting to pull the trigger on this Mod. I am assuming the best place to get the Vera buttons is straight from the dealer (lone wolf)? And secondly, I have been researching what type of rope to go with them (7mm, 8mm, 9mm) . Since the button creates a "Chinese finger trap effect" when the...

    This Is Hard!

    This could just be me ( I'm new to this and still learning) but I thought I would throw this out there for someone thinking of using the 4 step... I tried using the 4 step on my second stick and found that it was too long.. if I didn't put pressure down in a straight line directly under the...

    This Is Hard!

    G2, Do you have pictures of your step 3 setup (i.e. 3. "Once at tree... The other two sticks are hung from my saddle via 12" nite ize rubber gear hangers attached to saddle via molle loops on each hip." ) I have been trying to find a way to attach my helium sticks so I don't have to make...

    Best/Quick solution for platform

    G2 I noticed in that other forum where you talked about your LW mod, where you bolted a small metal seat off another deer stand to the top of your stick as a platform. Did that work out well?

    Best/Quick solution for platform

    So your recommending just to "annie-up" and find two used ameristeps (non recall edition), and skip using the cranfords? I assume eBay or achery talk will be my best bet to do that? Does the top rung of the sticks hurt your feet?

    Best/Quick solution for platform

    I just bought some helium climbing sticks and am planning on using the double step at the top as part of my platform. My budgets a little tight so I don't know if I can afford 3-4 ameristeps at $25 a piece or so on a ratchet strap. Would 3-4 Cranford rope steps suffice for a platform in...

    Share your Climbing methods

    Awesome!.. So essentially you get the best of both worlds: steps on both sides with the heliums, with the attachability of the LW versa system. I think I saw a forum on modifying the heliums. Did you go with the rope mod or did you buy some straps?

    That's what I'll do then, thank you! I may be opening up a can of worms here but are The helium sticks better than the LW's? The heliums look like they are $100 for 3 where the LW's are like $150 for 3. There were no reviews for the heliums though :(

    That's pretty much what I was thinking. The LW's have awesome reviews on cabelas, I figured I couldnt go wrong with that approach. I literally was lost with the amount of forums on climbing methods.. thank u Do you buy aiders or make them?

    Share your Climbing methods

    Just bought my first saddle and I am overwhelmed with the amount of information on climbing methods, I have read a ton of forums and just need some clarification. What is the tried and true method? Not looking to recreate the wheel just need the old standby. I hunt both private and public...
