    Treehopper Bolt Size

    That explains how 1 of my bolts has a slight bend to it! :-) So far my bolts have held up really well. Only 1 has a slight bend to it. I weigh 230 lbs - probably closer to 250-260 loaded with gear & pack on my back. I definitely would be more concerned about bending of bolts if i used anything...

    Treehopper Bolt Size

    Personally i use 7" 3/8 bolts, a bit more weight than the 6" ones but the extra length makes them feel more secure as a step. Between my bulky rubber boots and the fact that some trees have thicker bark to get past, i like having a bit more step when possible, especially when its late season &...

    How have you modified the predator?

    What is the purpose of the 550 cord on the front edge? Doesn't that take away from the abililty to grip the boot when you are leaning? Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

    How have you modified the predator?

    I added a piece of carpet to the topside of my platform, cut to match the platform & used zip ties to fasten it. I did this out of desperation as my feet would end up solid blocks of ice within 2 hours in 15-30 deg weather. I wear oversized Alpha Burley boots, superfeet insoles. liner socks, &...

    How to get down after losing climbing stick?

    I was using the rope mod but I'm thinking about going back to the straps. The amsteel ropes seem to take me more time to secure and are more difficult to get as tight around the tree. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

    How to get down after losing climbing stick?

    I get the idea. In my particular case i had a pullup rope attached to a stick that was stuck to a stick attached to a tree. The stick on the tree broke free of the cleats but was still strapped to tree. 2 sticks down while neither available to pull up if i so desired. But i do like this device...

    How to get down after losing climbing stick?

    What do u think of the e bike? I hike 2-3 miles into my deer hunting area & recently saw 1 of these bikes 4 the 1st time. Definitely not cheap but very interesting. I'd like to hear about your experience with it so far. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

    I really like this idea & will have to practice it a few times! Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

    Splice

    It makes for a smooth transition from the thickness of 2 ropes back to 1. Anything that needs to slide or move across the length of rope (under tension) where the buried end is will move a lot easier rather than hitting a sudden point where the rope is now 2x the diameter.

    How to get down after losing climbing stick?

    Recently, i was practicing my climbing methods & systems - at night w/o using any artificial light. I use XOP climbing sticks, each w an extra aider step made from straps. I'm still trying to figure out the best method for carrying the 3rd & 4th sticks up the tree. This time i figured i'd...
