    Why don't yall 2TC?

    FWIW- I carry an extra prussic knot on my foot tether, when I approach a limb that I have to pass, I just clip into it with my bridge. This allows me to stay standing on my foot tether, clip into extra prussic, unclip from top tether, move it past limb, then clip back into top tether, remove...

    Why don't yall 2TC?

    I most often use repel rope as top tether, however, if I did not, I’d just set down in the saddle. I am never without my “fishhook”,I use to retrieve dropped items. I do keep it free and use it tied to my pull up rope, therefore I would have to tie bow hanger onto tree, pull bow up and hang it...

    Why don't yall 2TC?

    Finding a method that will work on any/every tree is a goal for all of us I believe. I have tried every method I can think of to do the exact same thing you are doing. Hunting southeast Ohio public ground often requires going a good ways from the road or path to get away from pressure. I have...

    Rappell Rope Leg Bag?

    I don’t keep my rope in a “leg bag”, however I do store it in an Amazon special molle dump pouch. The type with the elastic drawstring at the top. While climbing an while at hunting height, the drawstring stays pulled tight to keep the rope held in place. When coming down I loosen the drawstring...

    Why don't yall 2TC?

    Teddy, I have no trouble climbing 2TC on a wet tree (including a few beech trees) however when hunting in the rain I hate packing up the wet ropes. Then hanging them when I get home so that they dry out for the next use. Then again, you will have that with any method of using in the rain...

    Soft Platform?

    Treehopper2 you have the wheels turning in my head, keep in mind the lug nuts are loose! But why couldn’t you use something very similar to the paracord gear hanger diy. On a larger scale of course, one continuous rope around the tree with the tag end being attached to the loop end via a...

    Soft Platform?

    I think the concept of this is great coming from a guy that climbs using the 2TC method. However, I also think it’s biggest downfall would be adjusting to get a shot anywhere other than where you originally set up for. By far the lightest and most compact I would think. Keep up the great work...

    climbing time

    Totally understand what you are saying, I climb 2TC and it generally don’t take me long to be up and ready to shoot. I guess my point in it all is why is everyone looking for that magic number of being from base of tree to hunting height in x amount of time. I usually go slow and do my best not...

    climbing time

    My ol man always used the same line when someone was on his ass while driving “ if they were in a hurry, they should have left sooner.” That same line applies here, every time I see this topic come up, I think of him. If I’m hunting a new spot, unsure of trees, sign, cover ect. I leave for the...

    Kettle or pot

    With a pot, you could drink your coffee right out of it. Never tried that with a kettle but I’m guessing it would be quite a challenge. Toaks pot for me. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    7 bolts to 21 feet high

    How about a small piece of garden hose inside the loop, maybe lash it to both sides of the loop using some paracord? Just my $.02 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
