Climbing stick FOR saddle hunters

@Slingpredator06 here is my thoughts. I don't mean anything negative by this, just my opinion and I wish you luck and hope it works out. We've had quite a few threads like this lately. Ultimately the problem is that you can't post enough information to let people give you real opinions without giving your idea away. So all we are left with is a tease and all you are left with is the frustration of dealing with people who really just want more information. I hope that you have picked up some information in this thread that can help you move forward and I look forward to seeing what you can bring to the market.

I appreciate that and I agree
 
This would be similar to a woman telling you how good she looks naked and how great she is in the sack.....but staying fully clothed and not crawling into the sack with ya......

I hope you are on to something revolutionary, I'd try it. But as someone mentioned maybe just delete the thread and repost when you CAN divulge pictures and information.
 
First off welcome aboard. Second when you are ready to sell a product post it up here on the Saddle Forum. You may be amazed that you are sold out in a few hours.

Good luck with you endeavor.

Hey everyone. New guy here and this is my first post. A little about me; Ive been saddle hunting for about 10 years, have lived in and hunted in 8 different states ranging from Texas all the way to the east coast, and Iike most saddle hunters, I love to be innovative and find better new ways to make my favorite hobby that much better. I am new to this site but have been looking around on here for a while and must say there is a lot of knowledge here and great ideas. With that being said I would like to get some honest feedback on a product I have been developing for a while now. Yes, its a climbing stick and I know some of you are thinking man that's been done to death lol but hear me out. I cant disclose every detail or what it looks like as its in the early stages of a patent and manufacturers are being presented with the working prototype. But heres a list of the pros and cons of the stick. This stick was primarily designed for saddle hunters who are one stick climbers and those who would like to be but find one stick climbing too hard or time consuming. Looking forward to experienced based opinions on who would or would not be interested:

PROS:

- Can easily get away with buying and using just 1. No need to buy them in sets but they can be used in sets as well if that's what is preferred.
- Rugged design somewhat similar to a beast stick
- Can be broken down so small that it can be clipped to a belt or carried in a small backpack pocket but is still the size of an average stick when being used to climb (not a mini stick)
- No rotating parts to fail or break
- Plenty of foot room (no compromise on climbing ability even though its extremely packable)
- When using only one stick in conjunction with an aider, a 6ft tall hunter can be 12 feet off the ground on the first climb and over 20ft on the 3rd iteration.
- With minimal experience, a hunter can reach 20ft in 2 mins or less after the stick has been attached to the tree.
- No experience necessary with one stick climbing. Just about anyone can do it. No weird or funky techniques are needed to use this item.
- One stick serves as a complete climbing system. No need to purchase anything additional unless you want to add an aider.
- Very safe. No need to worry about undoing a strap or loosening anything during the climb. You will not be able to drop the stick.

CONS:

- Slightly heavier than leading sticks on the market at this time by about a pound when comparing 1 to 1.
- No rotating parts at this time so that means no folding steps (On this model)

I hope I haven't said too much lol but your opinions and equipment requirements are whats important to me in the development of the product. Thanks everyone in advance for the feedback!

If you want good feed back give a proto type to long time hunters like @redsquirrel or @flinginairos to try
They will give you good feed back and keep your secret.
Even though I don’t think it is necessary ask them to sign a non disclosure document. I trust them to keep a secret and you would not get any better promotion if they like it
Red says he hates sticks and Jared made some sticks that he uses sometimes
Both have tried many climbing options
