    Figuring out the best way to climb

    Just my two cents, I’m 30 and a hair under 200 lbs, not in the best shape in the world but not overweight. I’ve used WEI stepps and didn’t like them, I used LW full length sticks and didn’t like the single steps, etc. This year I’m running (3) LWCG double step sticks and an ambush. I can get to...

    Newbie issue

    I’m using wild edge steps with a perch. Not figured everything out yet, so hoping someone can help me. I’m climbing with a knaider and swaider and I love it. However, when I’m up on my top step, what is the proper way to lower myself down 2 feet so I can get the perch installed and recammed? On...

    Wild edge step mod

    That’s where I thought if we could figure up a way to replace the cross bar with a heavier duty steel rod welded in that you could use an amsteel whoopie sling and form the loop and bury it around one side, and have a hook on the other side so you could run the whoopie end under and up and...

    Wild edge step mod

    Seems most people that ditch the wild edge steps do so because of difficulty tying the knot and getting cammed good. These steps are made of steel, so I can’t find a single reason why the narrow piece you tie on couldn’t be cut off and weld a solid steel rod in its place with a hook coming off...

    Knaider Swaider Wild Edge Treesqueeze?

    That was my thought was the tree squeeze would be carried but only used when I wasn't going to be going around any obstacles. I used the knaider and swaider on a climbing stick in my yard over the weekend and I was super comfortable with it, i was at ground level so i didn't use my LB or...

    Knaider Swaider Wild Edge Treesqueeze?

    Getting my gear all practiced up for saddle hunting and plan to use 5 wild edge steps, a perch, and a knaider and swaider to get 25'+. I know it is doable from practicing in the yard on a climbing stick while waiting on my wild edge steps to get here. Every video i've watched and everything i've...

    Wild Edge Step...GAME CHANGER :)

    How are you liking the setup with the knaider/swaider? I got my set of JC knaider and swaider in last Friday, tried them out Saturday on a modified LW stick with doublesteps and was able to get 5'5" pretty easily to one step, think i could even stretch it to 6'. the USPS man just dropped 5 WE...

    Close call

    I have 5 steps and the knaider swaider on order, but my concerns are the same. I’m not going to overdo myself though, even though I’ll have in plenty of time to practice for 2 months of deer season here in Indiana, I’ll be hunting with sticks this year. I’m going to take the next 12 months to...

    DIY Climbing Sticks - Spacing Idea

    Hi all, Firs time poster here. I am currently making up some 24" sticks similar to LW using 1" x 1" aluminum tubing and double steps and tree brackets from doublesteps.com. I plan on doing 24" sticks with about a 22" step spacing, and then running a single aider off the bottom (movable) to get...
