    Inspecting Rappel Setup Quicklink Knot

    I have 40ft of Sterling C-IV that I have put a triangular quicklink on using a scaffold knot. I have used this setup for a couple years, probably total of 15 all day hunts on it so not a ton of use. I have never untied that scaffold knot that has the quicklink on it. I just recently became a...

    Cam Cleats/One Sticking - Heavy Person

    Anyone here one stick with a cam cleat on a stick who weighs around 260lbs? I see videos of guys using climbing sticks with cam cleats who look to be in better shape/smaller so was just wondering if any heavier guys have tried this out?

    About to give up on WE Steps, maybe switch to one sticking?

    Hello, This is my second season working with WE steps and I just finished a long weekend hunting with them. I have practiced with them and I am proficient with them, but they are just too fiddly. I think they would work great for someone hunting in warmer conditions and if your feet are smaller...

    Cain Method, 7/64" Amsteel Shackle to D-Ring

    I recently put an AustriAlpine Cobra Buckle with the D-Ring, on my Kestrel Flex. I climbed using the Cain method last year and had problems with the carabiner wanting to twist on the D-ring and slide along the WE step crossbar. I tried taking two segments of 7/64" amsteel and doubling them up to...

    How to Attach Rope to Quicklink/Carabineer

    I bought 40' of Sterling C-IV 9mm rope, a Quicklink, and a pouch from EWO. Just wondering what kind of knot I should use to attach the rope to the Quicklink? Currently using the Anchor hitch but wasn't sure if there were was a better option.

    Saddle Safety (Fraying/Threads coming loose)

    I have an Aerohunter Kestrel Flex that I got last year. The manufacturer date is 8/9/19. I only used it for one weekend last year, other than that it has just been sitting in storage. It appears to have quite a bit of fraying and some of the threads where the bridge loops connect to the saddle...

    Adding a webbing bridge (Knots vs. Triglides/Sliders)

    I currently have the older style Aerohunter Kestrel Flex that comes with the adjustable rope bridge. I don't like how bulky the adjustable rope bridge is, so I was going to add a webbing bridge this year. I purchased some 1" nylon flat webbing, 1" nylon tubular webbing, and two of these 1" heavy...

    WE Stepps, big feet, give up or keep trying?

    Hey Guys, I have 12 WE stepps and the WE aider that I have been trying to use as my climbing method and platform for saddle hunting. I am big guy, 6'4" 250lbs and size 14 feet. The WE stepps seem really slick as far as weight and packability go, but I am struggling with efficiently climbing...
