    The BEST sharpening stone.

    I have the exact same Sharpal and I agree - it has been great. My wife asked me to make the kitchen knives more dull because she was afraid of them!

    Mesh Base Layer Option

    Interesting. Seems like the size of the holes on these Amazon shirts is a lot smaller than the Brynje. In your opinion, is that a good thing, bad thing or doesn’t matter?

    Butt-out tool just plain works. You should try it. Seriously.

    Would someone get the slap strap! Lol

    I’m not sure that would be the case with the slap strap design. I think that when using the tether in a girth hitched arrangement, the rope would not pull the strap downward - I think it would just tighten on the tree. I think in normal LB use where your LB is relatively in-line with the strap...

    Would someone get the slap strap! Lol

    I have tried to DIY my own and the springs I tried were not nearly strong enough to hold everything securely to the tree. Finding the right spring is the key to making this work and I think it needs to be fairly beefy (both in width and in thickness). If someone finds the right spring PLEASE...

    Mesh Base Layer Test

    Slightly off topic, but interesting and supports the fact that mesh as a baselayer has been around for a looooong time. I have an L.L.Bean catalog from 1972 with fishnet shirts for $3.70 and pants for $3.90! Wish I could get the Brynje stuff for that price!

    Howdy, from Maine!

    I’m from Maine as well, and have converted 6 other Mainers to saddle hunting, so we’re at least a dozen strong now! Welcome to the site and saddle hunting, Cascade.

    ROS comfort vs screw in steps

    I found ROS steps like the ameristeps, tree hopper, squirrel steps and bullmans to be much more comfortable than screw-ins. I found screw-ins to be too narrow and unforgiving. They just plain hurt. Same for bolts, for me.

    Whats up with the 'Sladder Climbing system"?

    I have used ladder-style webbing aiders for years and, based on my personal experience, have a hard time believing that the Sladder is not a bit trickier to use on a wet, snowy or icy tree. It is just plain harder to keep your toe from slipping to the side when there is less friction due to a...

    3 step aider pluses and minuses

    The longer the aider, the more unstable. Before you buy anything, try hanging your stick as high as you can and attach both ends of a piece of rope to the bottom steps to make a single step the same length as the aider you’re thinking of buying. Step up and try it out to see how it feels.

    Does anyone just use the ring of step?

    I’ve used a ROS for 15 years and haven’t had problems doing any of those things. [emoji2369]

    Does anyone just use the ring of step?

    X2 You have to try both to make up your own mind, I think.
