Custom Stixs

Do you like the standoffs rotation for stick stacking

Hey @Silvio, I really like this concept for packability! I may have to look at building a similar stick for my one stick climb. Any chance of a link to the knob source? Like I need a reason to spend more money at @DanO's for stick components.:)

Hi Joe, I bought these 1/4" knobs at lowes, but you could also purchase these at Home Depot or Menards...if you dont have one of those stores up there in Gods country try Woodcraft
 
I’ve got some sticks at the house that are similar to what you’ve done. Doublesteps (not from DanO). Everything rotates and they stack to a side profile of 3” for 3 sticks. The set of 3 weighs 5.5 lbs. That weight includes versa straps and stealth strips and the tubes are 1/8” wall. 22” stick length. They take up the amount of space as 1 beast stick or similar stick.
 
The standoffs will be able to rotate from perpendicular to horizontal. I'm machining slots for the standoff feet. Once you loosen the knobs and rotate the standoff to the parallel position the sticks can stack flat and tight

Are you machining the slots in the back side of the tubing?

I was working on the same idea attaching them through the holes side by side. Not sure why having the ability to turn the stand-off is necessary since the double step remains parallel to the ground? Maybe I’m missing something tho.

Well guess it gets them to lay against each other your way!!

It's to keep them as tight together as possible. When you strap these to your back pack less chance for catching on brush and making noise
 
If you could rig up some folding steps similar to the muddy pro sticks these would be SUPER compact!
 
Wouldn't milling one side edge of each standoff where the sticks stack accoplish the same thing. You would have to alternate sides depending on which stick is in the middle vs. which one is on the edges. It would keep the standoffs from rotating while in use because one side would still come over the tubing, but allow the tubing between stick to but up against one another.

I'm not quite understanding what you mean, but I really like to put it into how that would work... not sure I would mill any part of the standoffs though
 
I’m making my own and your idea of getting them to stack them sideways kinda of inspired the thought. The to tabs on the standoff that go around the tubing to keep the standoff from rotating. If you mill one off that would allow the next stick to stack right up against the next because I believe those tabs are what keeping them from stacking tight against one another. You can see this in the previous post where the guy stacked his side by side and there was a 1/4 in gap between his sticks. Wish I was computer savvy to edit a pic but I’ll see what I can do.
