    Oplux worth it?

    If you are using 11mm predator with knots and go oplux it's a big difference in bulk. It was worth it to me but it's not cheap. Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

    Alternative Method for Platform Attachment

    Is the loop a full bury like being don't on bridges or just the typical short bury? Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

    Sterling Oplux Sewn Eye

    Oplux sewn eye, oplux figure 8, tethrd spliced eye, predator figure 8. Might help people decide which way to go. For me the wild edge sewn eyes are my go to for tether and lineman and oplux figure 8 for srt & repel rope. Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

    SRT preset question

    Same thing as my idea just with carabiner instead of PVC pipe. I think the carabiner would actually work better than PVC. Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

    SRT preset question

    My idea I haven't tried. Climb up with sticks or something. Take a short section of PVC pipe painted green or brown, large enough for your srt rope to go thru. Tie it around the tree where you want to tether. Run Paracord thru the PVC and route it down the tree so your srt rope will go up the...

    Rope ladder

    I use the Yates big wall aider and move it up as I go. It's just a bigger version of the speed wall aider. I saw a post a while ago where someone was recommending the big wall over the speed wall so I went with it. I've been happy with it.

    Amsteel Hys strap

    Correct. But I've been in trees 2 ft in diameter at hunting height which means I'd need a 6+ ft strap to go around the circumference of the tree. I'd just hate to get there and come up short.

    Amsteel Hys strap

    Cutting it down and reburying the end would be no problem. But it packs up so small as it is I won't be cutting mine. A 2ft diameter tree is over 6.28 ft circumference so the strap has to be that long at least.

    What rope are you using with the safeguard?

    Amsteel Hys strap

    You're just making loops. The lengths don't have to be precise. It's more important to keep the splices in line and not to get a twist in the rope. I pulled mine apart half way thru because I was making a spiral. I started paying more attention to that and it came out much better the second...

    Amsteel Hys strap

    Around 2 to 2.5 inches on the short one. And for the longer leg I just eyed each one up to what looked good probably 0.5 to 1 in longer than the short leg. Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

    Amsteel Hys strap

    5 s biners, my qlipter hook and the amsteel strap all together is smaller than the Hys strap by itself. The Hys strap is probably a bit better but I'd rather take my new setup in the woods. Just because it fits better in the pocket I want to put it in Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

    Amsteel Hys strap

    I just tried it in the yard and didn't experience any of the issues you mentioned. This pic is pulling down with more force than the weight of my bow. I like it especially how it packs. Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

    Amsteel Hys strap

    I haven't actually used mine, just made it yesterday. I planned on doing the same. Or passing it thru doubling it back and clipping loops together with an S biner Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

    Amsteel Hys strap

    There's some guy out there calling himself the amsteel guy. Maybe you could coax him into adding them to his portfolio (I'll collect royalties [emoji16]). Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

    Amsteel Hys strap

    I'm not interested in selling stuff. It's easy to do just watch one of the many daisy chain videos with the tweak I mentioned above. Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

    Amsteel Hys strap

    I have and like the Hys strap but it got me thinking why not make a amsteel daisy chain version. The only thing I did different than a standard daisy chain is I made sure one side of each loop was longer than the other. I don't think it would matter but I always made sure it was the same leg of...
