Custom Gear Fabrication (aka sewing) by Squirrels

A small bag, kinda like a wild edge bag, but with more compartments. Main pouch would have squirrel steps ros and squirrel steps climbing system in it. Pouches on the sides for tether and linemans. Then a flap on the front for knife, bone saw, whatever little thing you wanna throw in there. The bag would have a shoulder strap like a wild edge bag.

Something like this sort of. Stitched this one up for myself this evening. It has 10 steps in it now and it will hold another 4 or 5, it’s approximately 2/3 full I’d say.

The elastic is genius. Im sure you could fit a squirrel step ROS in there as well. Do you think you could fit a tether in that front pocket?

More than enough room for a ROS. I’ve added my tether to the front pocket and my pull up rope. I added my lineman’s belt and arteryx knee caps to the main pouch and there is still room in it for another couple steps.
 
Dude! I am so happy you’re doing this for yourself. You do amazing work and I’m confident people will love what you provide for them.

A streamlined pack that will carry those sticks you sold me along with a Predator platform would be sweet.

I'm going to try and come up for something for this, had another similar request. Figure someone would buy it.

Keep me posted. I'd love a good pack for carrying non-folding, double step sticks. A small pouch for the predator platform with a good way to pack sticks and maybe a top layer for cold hunting days.
 
I KNOW! My wife said I need to proof read! So did all my teachers, and I didn't listen to them either!
 
Don’t know how I missed this.

Once I get all my medical crap sorted out, I may hit you up for a custom rigger’s belt with linesman style hookups instead of a single front rigger hookup. I’ve been considering this for off-season prep and camera hanging purposes.

I think an amsteel Whoopi’s sling in a pocket, and a rigger’s belt like that would be the ultimate in lightweight scouting versatility.

Been thinking about this alot becasue I think a lot of people would be interested in this, at least a few. I'll give my 2 cents worth. I think if a guy wants to carry sticks on a pack he needs a pack that has a fair amount of rigidity to it in order to cinch the sticks down and it be comfortable. For me to do that I would personally want a piece of 1/8" HDPE as a frame sheet, at minimum. Maybe even stays. I built one for myself with a HDPE frame and carbon stays for the purpose you guys have mentioned, @kyler1945 has it now, but have since decided I won't be using sticks. If I were to make those to sell they would be pricey, I think there are other options that we could do that would be much more economical. May not be as sexy but would do the job. Here is my thought, you could pick up a Molle Frame from ebay or wherever. I can make tons of different straps for that frame. I could also make bags to attach to that frame. Tethrd should be launching the bag for the Predator soon, that could be attached to the frame easily, then strap your sticks over the top of that. It would be a system that could work will for much less than I would charge to build a pack to hold those things. I will probably still try and build one just to see what I can do, someone will buy at least one I'm sure.

I too am considering no sticks this year. I am going to try the WE steps again, this time with knaider/swaider combo. This might be my go-to setup and then I would look for a pack to carry them with a predator attached. Nice to know the guys at Tethrd are planning a pack for the predator. Thanks for the feedback.
