    2tc vs one sticking

    Why would you disconnect & reconnect a stick unless you hit a limb?

    You broke a Talon? If so you would be the first.

    2tc vs one sticking

    I don’t disagree, which prompted my question why is one sticking more popular with the masses? It takes more moves but packs better & lighter seems like a fair trade.

    2tc vs one sticking

    I don’t see the majority using a backup, which was my concern.

    2tc vs one sticking

    I do hear this a lot about aiders coming down one sticking, but why would you need to use the aider? I only use the top step pretty temporarily to move my tether.

    2tc vs one sticking

    I can’t think of any situations that would leave me hanging on a short tether other than unconsciousness and not sure rappelling is an option there either. In general I wonder if rappelling is a false sense of safety. I’ve read about mechanical failures and accidental tiggers, will these...

    2tc vs one sticking

    You probably don’t qualify as “new” age (not an old joke as I know you have been around one sticking for awhile), but I do believe the number one reason given for rappelling is it’s fun!!!!

    2tc vs one sticking

    Same with one sticking, but 99% of the “new” age carry rappelling gear. I’ve stopped trying to understand it!!!

    2tc vs one sticking

    Won’t the vines & brush also cause interference with moving the tethers?

    2tc vs one sticking

    I agree with the consensus, 2tc maybe just too simple to market. Or maybe the right influencer hasn’t picked it up - guess it needs a Staggs in the wild!!! Now for one sticking its roots were also simple & cheap. 32” original LW stick, cam buckle strap, rch, and safety harness relief strap...

    2tc vs one sticking

    Agreed so why not “mainstream” like one sticking?

    2tc vs one sticking

    Why hasn’t the 2TC method caught on like one sticking?

    Beast stand or LWCG? Opinions please!

    If you aren’t looking to reduce weight or profile with a smaller stand. I personally don’t see the benefit of switching to a machined stand vs the cast.

    2024 Gear thread

    Yep 14” vs 16.5” is the deciding factor for me. 14” matches the windwalker, which I considered the best packing stand ever made. If the retro’s seat would fold back onto the post it would take that status, but nothing is prefect.

    2024 Gear thread

    I guess!!! The dimensions are prefect & the seat is comfortable.

    We are definitely on the same page ideal setup. I’m not sure I can improve much.

    What sticks are you pairing with the M7? How does it stack up to the Z8 as a system?
  18. Cbigbear

    2024 Gear thread

    If you eliminate their pack how does this system compare to LWCG? Profile when packed? Easy of packing? How secure when packed does it require additional straps?
  19. Cbigbear

    Beast stick mods. Anyone?

    The stock cam strap works well for one sticking. Do not remove the strap just loosen make your move & re-tighten.
