    Wicked Ridge Rampage 360 + Extras PRICE DROP

    Selling my crossbow. It's a great bow, I just upgraded to a Hickory Creek. I've shot this bow to dime accuracy out to 70 yards and taken several deer with it. No damage aside from a couple of scuffs from being in the woods. Rope cocking system works great! Only modification is that I added...

    2TC with both feet and a lineman?

    You may need to elaborate on that. If your foot isn't against the tree, you can't stand up (unless I'm missing something). How do you incorporate a hand ascender?

    2TC with both feet and a lineman?

    Only if you call a lineman's a tether, which I don't.

    2TC with both feet and a lineman?

    I'm using a killdeer (dryad drey at height), so there's no bridge. My impression is that you need to get the tether pretty much as high as you can reach it with each move in order to really make any progress, so I'm not sure how shortening either really helps?

    2TC with both feet and a lineman?

    Without a lineman's there's nothing to keep you from falling backwards while you're advancing the tether. Probably not an absolute deal breaker, but I think the added stability of a lineman's would be super helpful, especially if it's already attached to my saddle anyway. I can also just imagine...

    2TC with both feet and a lineman?

    Alright, I have what might be a crazy idea. Figured I'd post here to see if anyone else has tried anything similar before I make a fool of myself. I tried 2TC a couple of times last month using Custom Gear Modifications' kit with two stirrups. I tried the typical methods where you tether into...

    X2 Pack as a seat?

    Yeah, can confirm. I reached out to Eberlestock about this and it's the buttflap indeed! Now I find myself thinking of ways to tie that back to the frame so you can actually lean on it a bit... But that'd be for another day.

    X2 Pack as a seat?

    Just grabbed an Eberlestock X2 on clearance, great pack! I think I'm gonna like this thing. Only thing I can't figure out is that the descriptions mention something about how the frame folds down to become a seat. I have seen no images or videos demonstrating this, and maybe I'm just dumb, but...

    Morning hunts: climb in the dark, or wait until light?

    Y'all confirmed my thinking though, it's always good to check. I've never had an issue spooking deer with light, I think they just don't recognize it, especially if it's above their heads. I'd rather be seen by a deer than heard.

    That's an expensive deer!

    Morning hunts: climb in the dark, or wait until light?

    Lots of great responses here, thank you! Related question, though I think I know my answer I'd love to hear what y'all have to say. When climbing in the dark, what part of your signature are you most worried about: light, or noise? As in, if you are halfway up a tree and find your gear...

    Morning hunts: climb in the dark, or wait until light?

    Just curious how most folks approach morning hunts throughout the season. I'm still practicing with my saddle and I'm hesitant to climb in the dark until I'm more comfortable with the process. I'll probably do several daylight/afternoon hunts before I tackle this particular problem, but I'm...

    Helmet use?

    Yup, I've broken one or two myself. It's always the familiar trails, too. Complacency is the killer.

    Now that's a harsh truth I can embrace lol

    Helmet use?

    | Eh, I don't really get the driving comparison. You're literally inside a steel cage with tens of thousands of dollars worth of safety built into the design and mandated by law, including active and passive systems intended to keep you alive in the event of an accident that are tested, rated...
