    Best way to carry platform & climbing sticks

    I'm using 4 lone wolf climbing sticks with my saddle setup this year and trying to find the best way to carry them in. Big part of the reason to witching to a saddle was to lighten the load and less bulk walking through the woods. Right now I have my sticks in my main pouch of my backpack and my...

    DIY knee ascender build

    Picked up SRT awhile back using the leapfrog method that @JCLINE84 demonstrates in his videos. Eventually came across a CMI foot ascender and wanted to try rope walking. Knee ascenders are a lot of pesos, so I ended up repurposing my hand ascender. Think it turned out nicely. Paired with the...
