    top of sticks as platform?

    I know some of you guys use the top of the sticks as a platform. I tried it for the first time this weekend and I think it is very doable. I can't push off as easily to get around the tree so some shooting angles are out but it is definitely workable. I found it plenty comfortable too. With 2...

    Safety/rescue knife

    Do any of you also make sure to have a blade handy while up in a tree? I'm actually not 100% sure I actually need one in an emergency (would I actually cut myslef out of a dumb situation?) but I feel like I need one with all the line around me :) I try to have a fixed blade available but...

    I set up a short ATA, high angle bow

    Not really because I'm afraid of super high heights in the tree :mrgreen: I guess I needed an excuse to get another bow and I've been eyeballing the smaller, short bows. I figure it'll be great to shoot steep shots and even from the ground while sitting. It's a used TNT Revolution that I...

    PVC strap-on "nub"

    I'm thinking of trying a "nub" instead of a "step" for a strap on platform that augments a LW Assasin or LW hand climber seat as the actual platform. As such, this would not be the primary for standing but for extra footwork. I'll be doing it out of sections of PVC pipe. It's was hard for me to...

    Who uses a rock climbing harness as their saddle?

    Who uses a rock climbing harness as their saddle? I am using a Black Diamond Alpine BOD until I can come with the scratch to get a "proper tree saddle". Anybody in the same boat? :mrgreen:
