    Tools for splicing smaller amsteel?

    I used this braided cable sleeve with a small fid - works great for 1/8" Amsteel. Make your braided part about 10-12" long and thread the Amsteel about halfway into it. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B071G5L29C/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1

    Equivocation Hitch for rappel rope retrieval

    Anyone have experience using an Equivocation Hitch for rappel rope retrieval? Looks interesting, but I haven't found any good video examples on vertical rappels like we do from trees. I'm curious how the angle of descent could impact the knot's effectiveness to both hold and release. I have...

    Trophyline Wingman upper standoff modification

    Anyone moved the wingman upper standoff to the top bolt so the regular ministicks will stack? The other mod option I did last year was to drill another hole below the button bolt on the regular sticks and switch the orientation of stacking. Curious if anyone did these or other mods to improve...

    Platform Conversion

    Try to lengthen your tether or bridge, and then squat lower into your saddle. I do this and turn one way or the other so I have both feet firmly on the platform and then same side shoulder and hip against the tree. It's actually really comfortable in this position. And also very concealed on the...

    Wingman + mini double steps stacking mod

    Tried a Wingman + mini double steps stacking mod. I drilled a hole in 1 mini double step to fit the Wingman versa button bolt head, so to be able to put the bottom end of the stick under the Wingman platform so that the curve of the step bottom fits snug. I had also already drilled holes in all...

    Thermacell DIY refills

    For Thermacell DIY refills, lots of tips out there for the butane bottle refill, removing the check valve, etc. Those all work great. But for the pads, what are some better-performing methods? The chemical in the pads is allethrin, which is not easy to find in bulk compared to permethrin. None...

    Ezv at close range

    I use the top of the stadia arcs, where they hit the insert ring, as my 10 yd reference. I tested it at distance and every weight arrow I have, it works every time with the correct speed insert. The ring for every speed has the same 20 yd mark, so in theory, shooting 20 yards or less, it doesn't...

    Mission for the win

    I got inspired by kenn1320 post. Used Wild Edge step rope to make a 1-piece hanging aider/camming preventer loop (fed through a splice around the platform to lock the lengths of both). I also used the WE rope to make a whoopie sling to replace the cam buckle strap. Haven't tried it on a tree...
