@Hunterweeks , why don't you rope climb if you have presets? SRT or double rope, jrb?? Seems a little more streamlined
I don’t know what any other f that means. It’s how I started out. I got the stick with a platform off Facebook all aluminum so it’s light. Last year I used a preadator platform with the stick. Sold everything but the stick and my pop up 18 mr bag wanted more out the platform on stick so I built some for it. And I like it even more now. And I’m way lighter now
Oh, sorry.
Srt = single rope technique. Over simple explanation is that you use a foot loop in tandem with your friction hitch/ascender and not attach your stick/platform until at hunting height.
Mrs or double rope ( can't think of the abbreviation) you climb on both ends of your rope, typically with a Blake's hitch. I've never really tried it but you're 90% set up so I think it's worth checking out.
JRB is a pretty new sort of hybrid system that's a bit like to tandem single rope climbs. @John RB created it, and some of the knots involved. He's got a YouTube channel that covers A LOT of good info. John is a good dude, very knowledgeable and happy to help in my experience
NY saddle hunters is a popular YouTube for rope climbing too.
Get proper training, be safe man. Only suggestions from an unqualified guy.

I do agree. My first season I was planning on one sticking up and down. But that did not end well dropped my stick had to climb down with a extra teather put my foot in and inched down
Even though folks know me primarily as a rope climber, I made this video to apply to any climbing method. When I read your comment that you dropped something, I want you expect for that to happen. That's just one dimension of rule number 10. I am aware of many one stickers who are properly tied in and managing slack. But its important also.

This is just a portion of a very long post on a Rokslide thread about the best way to climb: “A linemans belt is a simple, easy way to keep both hands free while preventing a fall longer than a foot or so, and it works from the ground up to as high as you want to climb.” I’m sorry I can’t find this from my phone search function, but wasn’t there a recent post in which someone described a fall down the tree while using a LB?
