Beast Sticks/Rope mod

[Nathan450]

Ordered some beast sticks, thinking about doing rope mods to em.. what’s the best rope to use and where do I get it? Just getting into this run and gun style looking for advise or pics.. thanks

You don't even need a rope. Just remove the cam buckle from the beast strap and use the buckleless method. That way it doesn't cost you anything and the strap won't roll down the tree like a rope has the potential to do.

Versa strap / daisy chain webbing > ropes.

Is there a good video using the buckleless method?

Cool thanks! I’ll have to try that with my beast and LW sticks.

Only problem with pulling the buckles off is then you are severely limited to the trees you can climb because that shortens the usable strap considerably.

I use miniversa straps used as a rope mod.

Good to know!

I wouldn’t say severely. You lose at most a foot? Even though I am presently running versastraps, I think the 6ft stick strap would work for me considering the trees I hunt out of.

A foot from just the buckle. Then you need to take into consideration wrapping around button, half hitch(s) and safe enough tail.

Good clarification, but the bottom line is that for my trees the 6ft strap seems to work, all things considered.

EDIT: and by the way, I don't consider them "small" trees. Call them a foot in diameter on average?
