    Whats up with the 'Sladder Climbing system"?

    I haven't tried it, but want to. I was trying to inquire as to what it would cost to recycle @Ron1's attempted return. I'm all for a deal! Sent from my SM-S901U using Tapatalk

    Whats up with the 'Sladder Climbing system"?

    So what is the gently used return discount I have to beat? Sent from my SM-S901U using Tapatalk

    How did you cook venison today?

    Crockpot pasta chili tonight, made with diced round steak and hot Italian sausage. Sent from my SM-S901U using Tapatalk

    Looks like some winners here!

    Made my first venison Salisbury Steak tonight using the recipe below. Outstanding. Haven't eaten this since TV dinners in the 80s. Sent from my SM-S901U using Tapatalk

    2tc vs one sticking

    Ya, I'm one of them. No direct comparison. Plenty of mental comparison though. I suspect I'm not the only one, but concede it's probably not true for a majority of 1-stickers. Sent from my SM-S901U using Tapatalk

    2tc vs one sticking

    There goes my hole-free arguments and good feelings. [emoji23] I wasn't trying to say 'more", "more", or "easier". I don't think 1-sticking is any of those things compared to 2TC. My mistake if I implied that. By sweet spot, I meant good on average. As in, balancing all factors. As in, good...

    2tc vs one sticking

    For sure, but to me that is hair splitting. The delta is insignificant to me, so I stick with my overall sweet spot argument. But that's just me. Someone with zero 2TC climbs under his belt. YMMV. Sent from my SM-S901U using Tapatalk

    2tc vs one sticking

    That's the nicest thing anyone has said about me in a long time. [emoji23] It took a lot of thinking and retyping to stay ahead of you 'gunner. Much respect. Sent from my SM-S901U using Tapatalk

    2tc vs one sticking

    TLDR: Let's consider the impact of platform/ROS choice on this comparison, and the resulting mobility/comfort balance. _____________________ Mostly with you here. Don't carry deer with it, but love the Hybrid for comfort. Never tried 2TC with it but doesn't seem like it would pair well. The...

    JRB cinch an 2T/C

    Interesting approach. I'm guessing veteran 2TC'ers will object to bringing a pole in the woods. I like the idea. Question for you. Do you 2TC down, or use a long top tether and rappel down? Sent from my SM-S901U using Tapatalk

    My challenge to you

    Thought of the same thing when I saw this thread. In this regard I am not, and do not intend to be, master of my domain. [emoji41] The packages of public land venison in my freezer have no idea that I never scouted their final resting place. And I look forward to playing with a new Sladder, a...

    It's just...a little crush... - Review of the JX3 Hybrid Saddle

    I hear ya. It's awful close, and I admit I'm being a bit nit picky. The Sladder doesn't weigh much, but if I can already climb with the stick...I just wish I didn't have to use a 3 lb platform if I'm not climbing with it. Most of my point in the previous post was to emphasize how awesome the...

    It's just...a little crush... - Review of the JX3 Hybrid Saddle

    I bought the set and did one hunt with all four. Definitely more than I wanted to lug. Turns the whole "JX3 carries weight well" argument upside down. But with just the wide top stick on there you barely notice it. Brought things back to the Hybrid carrying weight so well. Just have to be...

    Is the idea of extra payments to your mortgage a placebo? Please educate me

    I like your prioritization. Every situation is different of course. I'd slightly adjust this to suggest creating and maxing out a post-tax Roth IRA prior to maxing out a 401k/403b (beyond any matching money of course). The Roth provides tax free growth and never to again be taxed income down...

    Venison backstraps

    Didn't know it was carnivore month but I made backstrap tonight also. Just simple pan fry in butter and garlic, plus boxed scalloped potatoes and blue cheese arugula salad. Sent from my SM-S901U using Tapatalk

    Anybody ever climb just to climb?

    Same. I have a long overdo tree removal project at the house that I don't want to pay for, and also I'm really interested in learning how it's done. I've always loved processing fallen trees/branches into firewood. Devouring youtube videos. I'm a little old to be starting this most dangerous...

    JX3 one stick

    2nd this. I do wrap it around the post though. For context I came from a cam cleat 1-stick and have no desire to mod this stick to that style. Sent from my SM-S901U using Tapatalk

    Saddle climber, what's available??

    Consider an alternative pairing with your JX3Hybrid, a JX3 wide top platform stick. Carries like a dream. Climbs well (if you are cool with 1-sticking). Excels at hunting height. Food for thought. Sent from my SM-S901U using Tapatalk

    College, Car, and Home Costs for Our Kids

    529 plans have tax benefits in my state, plus the benefit of tax free capital gains. If you try to save elsewhere you have to pay those gains. If you use a 529 and your kids don't end up going to school, you still have the money. You don't lose it. IF you decide to cash it out for non...

    College, Car, and Home Costs for Our Kids

    It's been a great decade so far for us. Never really had anything saved up that I was excited about until this decade, despite starting early. Now I can finally see how this is going to work out. Totally agree. Sent from my SM-S901U using Tapatalk
