    Kifaru tail gunner vs scout

    True, I do like how the new pop up 28 you can get the additional compression straps on the front to carry your bow. If the 18 had that I would for sure go with it. Just can’t decide

    I found an 18 for sale but didn’t know if the new extendable pole system was better

    do you know how the pop up 18 style poles compare to the new 28 poles?

    Kifaru tail gunner vs scout

    I know the pop up may be over kill most of the Time, I do hunt 1-2 miles into public that is fairly steep and rugged so it could come in handy. I’m torn between a minimalist set up like the scout vs a day pack that has more than enough space like the pop up. Just afraid of buyers remorse I think...

    Kifaru tail gunner vs scout

    Thanks for the info. I have it narrowed down between the tailgunner/scout or pop up 28. Will probably go with the pop up now

    Kifaru tail gunner vs scout

    Anybody on here own either pack? If so could you post some pictures of your set ups? I need to know if I can strap a predator, lwcg doubles, and a jacket and vest on the outside

    What’s the general consensus on using oplux as tether,LB and bridge?

    I was originally going to do double Prussics on both sides. But may just do a figure 8 with oplux on one side with two wraps, then Double Prussics on the left side

    What’s the general consensus on using oplux as tether,LB and bridge?

    Why do you not like the Beal? It has a higher break strength

    What’s the general consensus on using oplux as tether,LB and bridge?

    So I always climb with a linemans belt and try keep it as tight as possible and high as possible. I use both LB and tether when stepping onto the platform both with no slack. Then slide the tether up and take the slack out once on the platform. The only instance I would ever have slack is if I...

    What’s the general consensus on using oplux as tether,LB and bridge?

    I’m just going to go with 6’ and cut it in half. So 3’ per side. I think That should be plenty

    What’s the general consensus on using oplux as tether,LB and bridge?

    Do you know how much trc I would need to do two Prussics to make an adjustable bridge similar to cruzrs. With the amsteel they do a 16 inch continuous loop. I would have to tie the two ends together so I was thinking no more that 24”. Does that sound about right? Or would it be better to girth...

    What’s the general consensus on using oplux as tether,LB and bridge?

    Is there a better alternative that is still smaller than 11mm rope? also has there been any testing done that would simulate a fall in a saddle hunting situation? I imagine the worst case scenario would be standing up to adjust the saddle under your butt and the platform fail, sending you in a...

    What’s the general consensus on using oplux as tether,LB and bridge?

    Possible I’m mistaken about the test. Maybe they were referring to amsteel in the thread

    What’s the general consensus on using oplux as tether,LB and bridge?

    There was one thread on here about a potential break( possible user error) Another outlining a test that found the strength was greatly reduced when bent, I think they tested it around a 90 degree corner.

    What’s the general consensus on using oplux as tether,LB and bridge?

    A year or so ago I switch over to a oplux teather and LB with Beal jammy Prussics. Now doing some more research it seems to be being questioned in terms of its longevity and strength in event of a fall. What’s everyone’s opinion on it for these uses and as a bridge? I also recently purchased a...
