    One-sticking or 2TCing in hammock-style saddle?

    Who has one-sticked or 2TCed up in full kit in a Dryad Drey? Or even for similarity, done those in a DIY fleece saddle + RCH? I don't mean who has worn a Dryad belt or RCH climbing up sticks, or who has just put on the hammock when at height. I want to know how it went wearing the hammock with...

    Times you had to instantly rappel?

    Okay let's hear some stories. Often around here people say "You should climb/hang on your rappel rope [insert MR Safeguard] so you can bomb outta the tree immediately if you need to." How many times have you needed to instantly rappel for safety reasons, and why (hornets, snakes, spiders...

    Does C-IV get softer?

    Does C-IV break in and lose its stiffness with repeated use? I started with C-IV when first rappelling but quickly sold it to buy Canyon Elite because I didn’t like C-IV’s stiffness. Elite is very supple but also fat and bulky in a hip pouch. I’ll probably need to replace my rappel rope next...

    What cord are you using on Canyon Elite?

    Past few seasons I’ve been climbing on Canyon Elite with a friction hitch above a belay device. I’ve used 6mm TRC and 6mm PROBE eye-to-eye sling because of their heat properties for rappelling but I have hated them both. They load super hard and take major effort to tend or release… tried...

    HELP Cracked cam cleat… one stick attachment alternatives?

    Scrambling last minute before a hunt. My Harken Standard 150 cam cleat has a crack in the plastic bushing below the screw. It's not cracked all the way through, just on the bushing face. The cleat still holds the rope securely. Supposed to leave for camp tomorrow, no time to order a new cam...

    Reminder to check your hardware

    Just a friendly reminder to check your hardware on your sticks and platforms, everyone. Hunting on my one stick Saturday I noticed I was getting a lot of squeaking from my Monarch platform on top. Decided to get out the wrenches and tighten things down. I was really surprised how loose it had...

    Non TSC vet wrap?

    What is your preferred vet wrap other than Tractor Supply’s PowerFlex? I know the TSC wrap is popular and I like it but due to supply issues I can’t find anything but the color versions locally or ship it economically. Anybody have good experience with some camo wrap from Amazon?

    DIY etrier, how to hold open steps?

    Old school idea, discussed so much I couldn't find the answer I wanted in searches... Considering making a DIY etrier using tubular webbing, maybe 4-6 steps. What do you use to keep the steps open? I have thought of getting black washing machine hose, cutting 16-20" sections lengthwise...

    Deer at dawn- to climb or not?

    What do you do if you encounter deer in the dark right before you’re ready to climb? Gun hunted the same spot twice last year, bumped deer twice in the early morning. The spot is on a private farm, about 30 yards inside the woods from a transition to a cornfield, about 100+ yards from a county...

    Redneck Belay Device/Tender

    Edit: This was a brainstorm I had but admittedly it’s not a good idea. You are advised not to replicate this. Thanks to those who commented on the potential dangers of this. Okay safety police, climbing experienced people, chew me out, I have to be missing something… Yesterday I was testing...

    Ascending tree on a figure eight

    Okay, I'm sure it's on here somewhere but I couldn't find the answer I wanted by searching old threads. Is there a way to safely ascend a tree using a figure eight plate with a friction hitch above it (say, for one-sticking) that allows you to rappel in the same configuration without...

    Keeping friction hitch eyes open?

    Goal: I'd like to tie my own "open tail" friction hitches for use on my tether like the Distel, Michoacan, etc. Problem: Manually tied eye-to-eye hitch cords, by design of their slipknot eyes, bite down as hard as possible on your carabiner. Idea: Insert rope thimbles into the eyes to hold...

    Does anyone have any info on the 6mm accessory cord Strapworks.com sells? Their website (link here) offers 6mm prusik cord, which on the listing they state has a breaking strength of 1955 lbs. (8.7 kN). They don’t however list the manufacturer. I contacted them inquiring about it, and what...

    Has anyone spray painted rain gear with good results? I have a pair of Nike Storm Fit rain pants, 100% nylon material shell. 10 years old, swishy loud, but bone dry. And solid BLACK. I’d like to spray paint on a camo pattern to conceal a little more. I don’t care about compromising...
