    How to invent stuff if you're not a maker-person

    I have what I think is a great idea and I'm 99% sure it doesn't exist (not really hunting related fwiw). How do I go about finding engineering and tinkering type people that will help me make prototypes without them stealing my idea or me going broke in the process? Asking here because I trust...

    WTB Spikes/Spurs/Gaffs/Hooks

    Gaffs to me, but whatever you want to call them. Prefer aluminum shanks but open to whatever. Anyone have a pair they want to unload? Whatcha got?

    20% off Samson Ropes at SherrillTree

    I'm not a Samson guy but I know a lot of saddlehunters use the branded amsteel. I don't know if there are deals to be had but saw this and thought I'd pass it along.

    Rope-master.com

    Is this place legit? Some of the prices seems too good to be true. I've been afraid to try them.

    Mystery Ranch Ewwwwwwww

    Standoffs pulling away from tree

    Posting this generally as it's something I've experienced multiple times with multiple platforms. My LW .5 is just about perfect, but maybe one out of every 10 setups that bracket will pull away and there will be an air gap between the tree and the offset bracket. Far as I can figure I don't...

    Campsite 50 Amp Electrical Service - I need a converter, help

    I want to be able to camp in the back of my truck with developed electric campsites and need help finding the correct converter(s). I intend to run a garden-variety electric space heater to take the chill off when I sleep in the back of my truck. As well as charge my phone. Getting a little...

    Check Your Ropes PSA

    Thought I might SRT today. I don't normally SRT to hunt, but I'm pretty hobbled from a knee injury and trying to find my best option to get in a tree because I absolutely despise attempting to bowhunt from the ground. Getting my climber back from a buddy I lent it to this weekend, but until...

    School me on doves

    Ok, I’ve pickled a little for doves over the years. Usually just walking through a cornfield and jump shooting them. It’s fun and they’re tasty. Not sure but I feel like jump shooting is maybe taboo to the hoity-toity dove hunters. I beg for your forgiveness if so. My son is getting to the age...

    Youtube is dead

    I took a 6 month break from it and tried to be entertained by the algorithms. I was not. At all. Feels very much like myspace circa when I graduated from high school. A pioneer that went a skosh too far way, way too many times. Stale to the point of becoming archaeology. Good run. Some...

    Packable wader/hip boot for quick crossings

    I saw something in a youtube my kid was watching the other day (THP, maybe? I was preoccupied). Looked like silnylon or similar fabric, made to go over boots for a quick crossing. Piqued my interest immediately. Looked a lot quicker/easier than packing and changing in and out of standard hip...

    SH Book Club

    I've been reading a lot for the first time since grade school. I got a kindle for Christmas and making some other hopefully useful changes in my life (good riddance, youtube). Good book recommendations? These are my interests, but feel free to take the thread wherever it wants to go. All...

    Cell Cam Data Plans

    I've been using Bushnell cameras for years with good results, but their data plan is getting a little ridiculous for me at 5 cameras now. I find it inconvenient to manage also which cameras are in service when. They charge basically $15/mo per camera. There is a $10 plan but it pretty much...

    Gear that doesn't exist wishlist

    Along the lines of the 2023 gear thread... Man looking back 5-10 years it's crazy how far we've come. What do you want to see hit the market in the future that currently isn't out there? Mine: 1) More mobile climber options. Been rumored a couple years now but I'll believe it when I see...

    Doable to take a boat in this weather?

    Hunting Sunday/Monday/Tuesday. Water temp I'm guessing currently sits in the 40's. Some of the areas I'm looking at hunting and have hunted on foot in the past boat access would make it way way easier. This is pretty far up the lake and it's not a super deep lake, assume it will freeze up...

    TCI Expo Charlotte

    Anyone going to the Expo this week? Shot in the dark probably, but I know there are a couple arborists on here. This will be my first, I have a booth, 1641. Nothing relevant to SH but I do accounting/consulting so I'm checking it out, see if I can come home with some work and try to build a...

    10 Climbing Safety Considerations/Best Practices

    In light of all the recent discussion about climbing safety I thought I would leave some thoughts about reasonable best practices. Not meant to be comprehensive, just trying to make the conversation more productive. I am not an expert. My most significant qualification is probably that I have...
