    False crotch for SRT

    thanks guys ! Would I still run the paracord around the trunk (while going through carabiner)? Or would I just run it off the carabiner (straight down)

    Tether (rappel rope) keeps dropping during one sticking

    Using an EWO UP with a 3 step aider. All is well until I climb up on the bottom step of the stick. My rappel rope/tether falls and it requires me to shimmy it back up. Is this just the way it is one sticking? Or will the tether locker help?

    False crotch for SRT

    Came across this today. It's an HSS tree strap with a carabiner. Could I use this ?

    False crotch for SRT

    Awesome! Thanks man. I get it now. The climbing rope will actually cinch the ring against the tree in the process?

    False crotch for SRT

    Are you running one end of the steel cable through the other eye? Or are you joining both ends with paracord ?

    False crotch for SRT

    I was also going to strap a cheap bow hook to the tree and treat it as a branch.

    False crotch for SRT

    Thanks. It would be for once I've already climbed via my one stick. My plan was to just return with a ROS in the future. Do you happen to have a pic of the paracord with the ring concept ? I'm having difficulty visualizing that and I want to be 100% sure since this is safety related. Am I...

    False crotch for SRT

    What is the most common solution being used for this? I'm looking for something that's public land legal. I want to run paracord through it and get my climbing rope up. Could I just use a spare tether and leave it in the tree for this?

    Figure 8 questions: First timer

    I've been one sticking with my Madrock the last few weeks. I ascend, using my rappel rope as my tether. I was thinking of trying a figure 8 and had a few questions Ascending: Would I use a standard tether (with a prussic) and keep my C-IV stashed away until it's time to rappel...

    Rappel rope replacement, annually?

    I'm assuming that's because our application isn't as strenuous as actual rock climbing?

    Rappel rope replacement, annually?

    How often are you guys changing your rappel rope? I was going to do mine annually, regardless of any visible wear. I hunt around 60-80x a year. Sterling C-IV

    Life expectancy of mechanical belay devices

    Do mechanical belay devices (Madrock) have a max hour (usage) rating ? What about if you take a short fall with one? thanks

    Worst case scenarios

    Ropes get replaced every 2 years, correct? Do they have a shelf life too? I have an unused 8mm RescuTech and was just curious. Thanks

    Worst case scenarios

    I'm not a brand new hunter and have been using climb ons and climbers a few years now. But I'm new to the saddle world. When one sticking, what are some worse possible scenarios and what could one do to prevent it? (or if you find yourself in the situation, correct )? One thing that comes to...
