    Questions about spurs!

    Me being slightly insane and wanting to try everything that has to do with climbing lately, I have a itch for trying spurs. My issue however in life that I'm trying to tame is my urge to go all in and buy the best without even trying it (like buying a super expensive pair of carbon fiber spurs)...

    I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong with my madrock lifeguard belay.

    So long story short I'm trying hard to get into srt climbing with my jx3. However when I get my madrock under full load of my body, to get it to rappel I have to pull down on the lever hard enough to the point that it's actually hurting my hand from prying down on the release lever so hard. I...

    Is my tether still safe to use?

    I accidentally left my tether that came with my jx3 with a ropeman 1 on it on a buddies land on 12/2/19. My buddy is going to get it this next weekend and mail it to me so I haven't seen it yet. I don't know much about ropes but with this rope being my literal lifeline should I go ahead and...

    Never seen a deer with this.

    I killed a deer this afternoon and it had three spots on it. I assume it's like a wool or something? I'm not sure. Any of you guys seen this or know what it is?

    Please close. All sold. Selling Mantis XL, Predator Platform, Wild edge steps.

    Hey guys I've hunted out of this setup a total of 3 times. I'm selling this setup because I just prefer my JX3 a lot more. I know there will be a lot of interest for the predator platform alone. As of right now I am keeping the predator and mantis together. This may change. The mantis comes...

    Treehopper drill bit.

    I'm going to buy the treehopper hand drill soon. I'm also going to get the actual drill bit for presets. Is the drill bit size 5/16 seeing as the bolts are 3/8s? Also which do you guys prefer? EZ kut or treehopper hand drill?

    A rather unsuccessful hunt to say the least

    This day actually started a few days ago when I had difficulty repelling with my madrock lifeguard. Me being dumb and new to this, I was just using the belay with nothing else (did this twice). I have a hollow block coming. Well long story short I use my rappel rope to lower my gear and me being...

    What knot should I use.

    I ordered a climbing rope from tree stuff but the spliced eye they put in it is too small. I want a bigger eye for girth hitching around the tree. So what's the best knot to use to make the eye?

    JX3 and DRT

    So long story short I am going to be giving the jx3 a shot. While I'm not good at it yet I truely think that drt is probably the best climbing system when it comes to weight and being able to get in any tree you want to. However I haven't seen anyone talk about drt with the jx3. Anyone seen or...

    Is this safe?

    Long story short I am thinking about getting the predator platform. I think I'm going to prefer the bigger platform then the ring of steps when it comes to comfort. However I don't really want to give up the extra mobility of not having the ring of steps. So what I'm thinking is getting one or 2...

    Big guys! Your opinions needed!

    Long story short I'm looking to get either a JX3 hybrid or the tethrd mantis. Truthfully I am leaning towards the mantis. I really like the idea of nothing being connected to me above the waist for max movement. I am a bit worried about the mantis though when it comes to being comfortable. After...
