    climbing time

    It's pretty variable for sure. For me, it's probably closer to 30 minutes between arrival at the tree and hunting at 20'. I feel like the less time on the ground the better, so I tend to approach the tree with stick in hand and get to the top of my first rep (~7ft) ASAP. But, then I'm pretty...

    Should NEVER Happen

    That's a heartbreaking story. It would be equally troubling regardless of when it happened, but the timing undoubtedly stained an otherwise cheerful holiday for a lot of friends and family. My heart goes out to the family and friends of the deceased...and equally to the gentleman who pulled...

    CTC rope?

    Another side note: Kernmantle double braid isn’t necessarily TRUE double braid. It’s still static rope with low stretch, but eye splices are done differently depending on whether the core is, in fact, hollow braided or if it’s parallel stranded.

    Hawk Ultra-Lite + 4-pack of 20” Helium Sticks for $209 on MidwayUSA

    Did the person weigh them on camera or just report the weight? I know that some of the videos made at the 2020 Hawk ATA booth were wrong...for example, the guy speaking about the stand at the ATA claims it’s 7lbs or something like that when it’s supposed to be 12.

    Hawk Ultra-Lite + 4-pack of 20” Helium Sticks for $209 on MidwayUSA

    Yes, the 4 sticks with whoopie slings were just under 8lbs according to my scale. I did use a 100lb spring scale for luggage to weight them, so there is a small amount of error. But, I the scale has been reliable for travel. It could be a little stiff under 20lbs, but I don’t think it would...

    Hawk Ultra-Lite + 4-pack of 20” Helium Sticks for $209 on MidwayUSA

    I added 1/4” whoopie slings instead of the stock straps, but the full weight comes in a smidge under 8lbs.

    Hawk Ultra-Lite + 4-pack of 20” Helium Sticks for $209 on MidwayUSA

    Hawk Run and Gun Helium Combo - 12lb hang on plus 4-pack of 20” helium sticks for $209 on MidwayUSA. I only wanted the sticks, but considering the sticks were $150 by themselves, I couldn’t pass up spending an extra $60 for a ~$170 MSRP stand. Check it out...

    Buying scentlok

    I agree fully. Scentlok prices are fairly high relative to comparable products from lesser known brands. I had been wanting their Savanna Reign jacket and pants because for a long time because I hunt in Georgia where it can stay in the 80’s until November, but the $139 per piece price point...
