2tc vs one sticking

People say that sticking is less moves but with 2 tc.you dont have to reach down,disconect the stick, reach up reconect the stick ,then set the stick.thats 4 moves inbetween the three moves that are claimed.and still you have to step up 3 times and move your tether.i count 8 moves in what is called one when done 3 times thats 24 movements according to my grade school math
 
Fact of the matter is any 1 sticker who could get comfortable and efficiant at 2tc.would switch.but any one good at 2tc.hase no use for a stick.and no reason to swich...period.its like comparing apples to turd popsicles...all roads lead to 2tc.1 stickers are multiple stickers that wish they could two tether but couldnt quite ditch the last stick.or they would just carry multiple sticks still.if you cant 2tc correctly im sorry for your exscusses.just carry your crutch and say you need it.thats cool...nothing wrong with it... some people cant hunt without beer

I like both but like my xop platform with a shaffer cam cleat its like one stick climbing. Some trees are better suited for 2t/c my choice I prefer climbing with the platform 2t/c takes me longer to get to hunting hight being 18 to 22 feet. I also feel like 2t/c takes longer for me to get set up.
 
I’m not an expert on any climbing method that’s why I have multiple. If not going in far I’ll take my summit viper and be comfortable, I one stick most of the time but sometimes I hunt from the ground. To each their own is the way I see it. Being 55 years old I’ll do whatever I feel like and not be influenced by anyone else. Do it your way and I’ll read the terrain and weather conditions and hunt the best way I see it. I’ve also tried t2c but still prefer my one stick or the ground. Hurry up October!!

Why would you disconnect & reconnect a stick unless you hit a limb?

On paper so can I but I one-sticked every hunt last year.

2 TC is fine I just find one-sticking a little...easier? Idk. I'm not super practiced at 2 TC. Here I thought that was the overhyped one but I gather cbigbear is saying otherwise?

Setting lines in the woods in the dark and brush just doesn't work for me or I would rope climb every hunt. Best way to climb hands down, once you set the lines. That qualifier kills it.

If I’m hunting a spot with sketchy leaning trees, big trees, or limby trees, onestick/ROS with rappel. If i‘m going to skinnier more uniform trees with 1 limb pass or less, 2TC with rappel and platform. If I’m scouting/hunting a new area, or wind is weird, or considering a ground hunt, then 2TC with ROS. Always have some paracord to set an SRT preset….only actual hunted SRT preset spot once last season. If the woods are wet, one stick. Did 5 of 7 hunts last year with 1 stick
