Thanks for posting links guys.
After 5 hunts on the year so far, three of which with my DIY sticks and two 1-sticking, I am convinced that these DIY sticks are the bomb. At just under 7 lbs for 4 they are light enough, and while all sticks suck to pack in, nothing beats the safety, ease and security of climbing with sticks. So much better than 1-sticking. So much better than aiders on WEs or fewer sticks.
Even with the weight of my JX3 I'd rather carry my 4 sticks than deal with the issues with 1-sticking. Just my 2 cents.
