    AmSteel for a Line man's Belt and Thether??

    It stays put(sticks to tree) after setting as high as i can get it. No sag. Limit the slack in the systen when 1 sticking. Personally thats what i prefer. I am have used a shooting stick to set my rappel rope even higher, but it slides back down some after taking stick down.

    AmSteel for a Line man's Belt and Thether??

    Thank you. Looking for feedback from Phaco, but if I dont hear anything, i will take it to mean his amsteel tether broke and he plummeted to ground somewhere in the woods never to be heard from again? Just curious if any one stickers using an amsteel rope mod to climb the tree with 100% of their...

    DIY Amsteel Best Platform Attachment Method?

    This was just some leftover (8ft) of 1/4" amsteel with spliced eye for rope moding sticks, but it worked great just needs to be longer and uniform thickness.

    DIY Amsteel Best Platform Attachment Method?

    have you tried the PSH amsteel rope. I watched video for it and it looked super easy to make and attach. I made a small proto type yesterday and attached to tree in back yard. Worked really well. Going to use 17ft of 3/16 amsteel and do a full bury with spliced locked brummel eye where the...

    I have a bunch of different diameter amsteel and knitting needle kids for Fids. Looking to create or recreate the best saddle platform attachment method to replace the heavy cam buckle that came with platform. It seems like there are several different methods for sale out there, but I enjoy...

    Tether attachment method

    No, I have not tried that yet, but will run to hardware store this weekend to look for one. I am liking the maverick hitch, but keeping a quick link at the opposite end of rappel rope in case I get to tree and totally blank on how to tie. I also tied a prusik knot with hallowblock cord and can...

    Tether attachment method

    Does it's slide down much or slip down the trunk before you put tension back in line by sitting back in saddle? Thanks for fast reply.

    Tether attachment method

    How did you like the Maverick Hitch? I am fed up with the weight of the quick link sliding down the tree during the ascent and fumbling with trying to put the tether locker on and off every time I want to move the rappel line up the tree before advancing. There has got to be a simple self...

    Did my first mod today

    Thanks for advice. Glad I used actual cam cleat to mark my drilling spot. Very easy.

    Did my first mod today

    Did you just drill one extra hole in the stick for the cam cleat and repurpose the existing hole where the button/bolt was at? Another random question, but what size drill bit did you use for the hardware? I stopped by Home Depot and picked up 2 of the #10-32x2.5" bolts. My Harken 150 Cam Cleat...

    Saddle Platform/Climber...Next Big Secret...?

    Some trees are too big at the base or of there are a bunch of limbs. I can use as many or as few sticks as the situation requires and hang the climber while standing on top of stick. And continue going up with the climber if needed.
