    How long to get comfortable

    More comfortable than sitting in a treestand from day one. I will say it took a bit to find the right saddle, which seems to vary for body types, sit or lean, maybe climbing methods

    Don’t sleep on that 1800. Awesome pack at a good price. Infinite configurations for hauling sticks, platforms.

    How many one stickers also hunt from the one stick vs. carry a platform/ROS?

    Angled monarch on my one stick, just started one sticking late this season. Used in conjunction with a predator XL cause I like the extra real estate; however, think I'm going to look into some steps to use with the one stick. It seats solidly enough that I can get to 80% of shots I'd take and...

    Best, lightest, easiest to use climbing stick?

    If you are happy with how you're getting up, I'd cast another vote for rappelling down. You won't go back after you try! EWO has ready made kits, you can also buy static line by the foot at lots of places and put together a kit with a quick link and your choice of descender method.

    Considering One Sticking

    Just got into one sticking late this season: canyon c-iv, madrock, ewo stand offs, harken cam cleat, ewo 15” stick, ewo bottom step with 3-step sewn aider, using an angled monarch on the top. I’d played around with a modded hawk first and the proper set up is light years better, at least for me.

    Legend one stick rope pouch?

    Thanks. Found a video on their FB page, too. I run a transformer which is sorta what got me interested in this. I like to climb with my pack on and most, if not all, pouches on a saddle hit the waist belt on the pack. Thought of running a pouch on my pack waist belt. IDK, still looking for...

    Another vote for one sticking

    So just built out a one stick with ewo parts, a monarch angled platform, sewn 3 step aider. It’s amazing. I’d messed around with a hawk stick and cam cleat before but this feels much more solid on the tree. A few new questions: planned on climbing with my rappel rope as tether. Seems easy...

    Hot meal while in the Saddle

    Interesting! I've lugged in a thermos of scalding hot coffee and used MRE heater packs for a sorta warm meal. Never contemplated cooking in the tree but bet you could fashion a shelf with a strap and some tinkering to make a small shelf. The way I hand my pack I can stash a cup or thermos in...

    Madrock Safeguard makes me uneasy

    I have a mad rock and a Beal birdie. Beal is built robust a velvet smooth to operate but has a spring so I end up on the madrock a lot.
