    Beast Sticks | Preorder for January

    My Nov pre-order just shipped TODAY. I was supposed to have priority as well as I was cut out of the last order in Oct. I had ordered them but they oversold their inventory and I was one of the guys left out... Kind of bummed to see people in Dec pre-orders getting them before me when I...

    Activated Carbon Information

    Because the activated carbon will absorb the H2O molecules (the water), to its maximum absorptive capacity and consequently be completely ineffective. Remember - activated carbon does not discriminate in what it absorbs. It does not work on your schedule as to when that absorption starts. It...

    Muddy Pro Stick Failure

    I think at one point Muddy recalled sticks for failures like this. Looks like they still have the issue. Most unfortunate.

    First time summer scouting

    A slight plastic taste. If you've resigned yourself that you got to the point of needing it you will not care.

    Activated Carbon Information

    You don't have to read it... No one does. Forums like this are supposed to be about sharing information. That's what I'm doing. You say thins is getting old, but everything I have put forward is new information to this thread, previously undisclosed and for all who have participated, probably...

    First time summer scouting

    Oh - if you do want to scout in the summer, bring a life straw. You can get them on Amazon. If you ever run out of water you can use the life straw to drink from any water source you can get to in the woods.

    First time summer scouting

    I pass on midsummer scouting. By the time the season opens here their patterns have changed. We open in mid to late October. If a state had an early Sept opener I could maybe see some value though. IDK what the situation is like in the south either. Here in MA, the leaves are falling right...

    Activated Carbon Information

    I don't care if John changes his beliefs or not. I don't actually expect him to and I'm not after that. I just would like to see him stop perpetuating the falsehood that the Rutgers test was "independent" and/or emulated real-world application, or that Scentlock was found to "work as advertised"...

    Activated Carbon Information

    I'll admit, Scentlok has quite the racket going. They've spun the results of that case to their advantage brilliantly. That despite the outcome actually not being favorable to them. They had John fooled for sure. Although I hope h reads this and gets up to speed. Not only that, but they've done...

    Activated Carbon Information

    Eh. There are some statements he made that are just false though. "Scent Lok was sued for false advertising by a few Minnesota hunters that got winded and while extremely expensive to defend, it ended up being a blessing in disguise for any hunters willing to take off their blinders and look...

    Small change that made you a better hunter

    I don't know if it is a small change, but falling onto TheHuntingBeast has done more for me than anything else... I threw my carbon clothing, sprays, pre-set stands, and tinks bottles in the garbage and started hanging racks on the wall. I'm a Beast convert for sure.

    Activated Carbon Information

    I don't mean to imply they manufactured the results. Simply that the testing was done in accordance with how those paying for it wanted it done. Like, we'll only use these garments that we provide, they've never before been worn, or washed and are fresh off the carbon assembly line and have been...

    Lone wolf double fold steps

    You can buy double steps for the LW sticks... They don't fold up though... Some have put the muddy steps on the LW sticks (requires drilling). But if you're going that far you may as well just sell the LWs and buy the Muddy.

    Activated Carbon Information

    Your understanding of the case is not correct. Here is where you're mistaken. A court can not order a third party not involved in the case to do anything. Scentlok went to Rutgers and wanted them to do the testing to help their case. Scentlok wanted the testing conducted in a way that was...

    CT RollNLock vs. Ropeman 1

    Don't sell it short. It has a lot of advantages over a prusik knot. 1 handed operation (huge advantage) Doesn't lock up after bearing weight Quicker and more efficient Doesn't require routine replacement like ropes and cords do (lower long term cost of ownership) It has lots of advantages.

    CT RollNLock vs. Ropeman 1

    That's actually an advantage of the ropeman. It continues to function properly and safely even if grabbed by the operator. If you grab a prusik knot in haste, like when trying to prevent loss of balance or something, then the system will fail. Aside from making it more convenient and easy to...

    CT RollNLock vs. Ropeman 1

    You know I loved physics in college. I took all the classes I could as electives. But the physics I enjoyed involved the really big (starts, planets, black holes) or the really small (molecules, atoms, and particles). Physics 101 which was all the stuff about levers, pulleys, fulcrum points, and...

    CT RollNLock vs. Ropeman 1

    So I like your reply. But I have a question on the bold. You're basically saying that this example human still needs to bear in excess of 1000 pounds over that 6 inches and they actually need to overcome that weight/force it in order for actual deceleration to occur over that 6 inches. That...
