    What's your job

    So you paint asphalt black? :tearsofjoy: Just messing with you. I'm an asphalt plant manager but my company doesn't do sealcoating. We sub it out to someone else if a job calls for it.

    Which states dont allow screw in steps?

    I didn't say its fair game. Just different regulations. Federal land would be under a federal website. So if its the nicolet national forest, it would be here https://www.fs.usda.gov/Internet/FSE_DOCUMENTS/fseprd479752.pdf I hunt public in wisconsin where its legal to use screw in steps...

    Which states dont allow screw in steps?

    That is only for state owned land. Does not apply to other public lands.

    Which states dont allow screw in steps?

    Dependent on what public you are hunting and who owns it. State land has different rules than county land, which is different than paper mill land.

    LWCG pre-orders

    Passed on them without having to think too hard. Stand just isn't special enough to justify the price to upgrade over my assault to save 2-3lbs. Will need something truly revolutionary to buy a different set of sticks. And these definitely are not it for me. Beast sticks, old assault and...

    I left 99% of the groups on Facebook

    The facebook groups are really making me see forums in a different light. Repetitive questions and the constant leg humping of others just gets old. Just slowly pulling myself away from it and doing other things. Heck I'm trying to learn how to shore fish lake michigan now. Just want something...

    Lone Wolf Custom Gear

    Should have seen the facebook page. Couldn't even believe some of the stuff that was posted. I'm with you on supporting the guys who deserve to be supported. What some of these guys have done for deer hunting will live on longer than them. Least I can do is support their products they put a...

    My $20 DIY platform

    Grinder and cut off wheel would do it. Would need a small case of wheels but it’s doable for guys who don’t have fancy stuff. Use my grinder way more than I ever thought I would when I bought it.

    Why saddle vs hang on

    I just use both. Best of both worlds. Kind of like having a couch and a recliner. Sit in one, put your feet on the other, and switch when you feel like it. Some trees its all saddle for me with a bigger platform, some trees its just sitting in the hang on with a really nice harness. But its...

    Beast sticks

    You buy them individually. Most bought 4 I think. Dan runs 5. I bought 5 as well since I’m not an aider fan. 4 is plenty for most of my hunts, but the 5th is worth the weight the one hunt you really need it. At least for me. There should be another sale soon. Check the beast daily if you...

    Different ways to carry your sticks...

    Beast sticks bungeed on my really big platform, backpack straps on my platform. Multiple trips up the tree for me. Finally found a system that works, and I will not fall into the saddlehunter effect of owning every single climbing method known to man and g2 :cool: But I think this shows there...

    Is your Platform uncomfortable?

    Yeah I use lacrosse aeroheads and you feel it on your feet. I just sit for a bit instead then stand up when I want. Nice part about using a small treestand for a platform. Real easy to adjust your feet, or just sit down on the seat for a bit. Get uncomfortable, tons of different options on...

    Demonstration with Nasty Tree?

    Only thing that I have found that works for me is a grapple hook. Lay my bow down next to the tree, climb up, and drop the hook down and pull it up. Weighs a couple ounces (I think I used a 3oz snagging treble), and can always use it to pull up my pack and extra clothes. I don't like using it...

    Full Body Harness???

    I have a 44" waist with normal jeans/pants. I used a petzl corax size 2 and had plenty of adjustment left. Even wore it on the outside of my outer pants with no issues. Has adjustments on both sides which allows for a ton of room for layers and what not. Otherwise misty mountain makes a rock...

    Going back to college?

    I'm getting my masters now but only because my school has a program where we can overlap the bachelors/masters and just add one year. So 5 years of school and I get my bachelors and masters in civil engineering compared to 4 years and just having a bachelors. No brainer decision. And if classes...
