    Why don't yall 2TC?

    Just before I get to the height I want to be, I'll move the tethers slightly to the left or right from where I want the platform to be. Set the platform below where the lowest tether attaches to the tree and make one more move up to step onto the platform.

    Why don't yall 2TC?

    There's a piece of gear I have carried for years that fits this need. 1" webbing, not tubular, tied in a loop with a water knot long enough to go over my shoulder and under my opposite arm down at a 45 degree angle behind me and girth hitched around a deer's neck. I've drug them hundreds of...

    Hunting off of rappel rope??

    Been doing it for 2 seasons and it works. The only reason to have a separate tether is if you also SRT when the occasion arises. In that situation there may be times when your attachment to the tree is much higher (steeper angle) than you want. If you have the tether you can set up where you...

    Why don't yall 2TC?

    Most of the time I wear Mechanix gloves. https://www.amazon.com/Mechanix-Wear-MultiCam-Tactical-Camouflage/dp/B077F5ZMCL/ref=sr_1_9?keywords=mechanix+gloves&qid=1643595358&sr=8-9

    Squirrel recipe.

    I grew up with Macaroni and Squirrel being a regular meal in the fall. Section them and boil em in water with salt and pepper until they just about come off the bone. You'll probably have to add water to keep them covered. It takes awhile. When they are to the point of coming apart add a bag of...

    Why don't yall 2TC?

    When I get one I'll have to experiment. I think it will be a Michoacan above and Autoblock on the right lineman's loop. I'm thinking my left hand can pull down on the hitch and handle at the same time while my right puts pressure on the Autoblock. We'll see.

    Why don't yall 2TC?

    VT and Michoacan work. This past season I used the Michoacan and like it better. The Autoblock is a safety. To date I've had no trouble with a saddle, ropes or hardware. If one of those did fail the safety keeps me in the tree and it's very easy to tie even with one hand. Additionally, if you...

    Why don't yall 2TC?

    11mm WorkPro, 8,092 MBS. Regular arborist entry line. Keep the top tether no higher than your head and don't get more than your hip to knee distance away from the tree.

    Why don't yall 2TC?

    If there is something I can help with about the setup I'll try. Everyone does something different and it always evolving. I'm moving to Canyon Elite with a Safeguard and adding a CT Quick Roll ascender when I can SRT.

    Why don't yall 2TC?

    It's even easier/quicker coming down 2TC, but try to make the moves about the same as you went up. The very first time I climbed 2TC I added carabiners at the girth hitches and went around 4 limbs. It really isn't hard. You always have the option of just sitting in the saddle to rest or take a...

    Why don't yall 2TC?

    I was using a BD Alpine ATC that is designed for the smaller diameter line. VT above attached the same way to the carabiner and a Autoblock below attached to the right linemans loop. It was actually a smoother rappel.

    Why don't yall 2TC?

    I did a video some time back where I was describing how I adapted the way Scott Adkins climbs to suit me. The attachments to the tree can be seen below in the stills. In one of the photos I'm showing 2 autoblocks (13" Hollowblocks) and in another an autoblock and VT prusik (28" Ice Tail). I...

    Save your money on “Scent Control”

    The only thing I have ever had work consistently is ConQuest EverCalm. They say its made from stuff in the stalls/bedding areas of the deer on deer farms. It is supposed to make your trail seem like another deer's trail. It doesn't work to cover your scent from the stand. I rub it on my boots at...
