How many sticks?

What you got?

I got the idea while I was packing for evening sit so it was kinda hastily put together. Took my diy 3-step webbing aider, length of shock cord and small carabiner. Shikar is shaped so that it's fairly easy to kick the loops off the step from above. I'll try to modify my amsteel aiders for the purpose next and see if I use the step and attachment or single point.
 
I use 5 Latitude sticks as I hate aiders, especially when it’s dark, and would eventually hurt myself using them. Can get around 18’.
 
I run 4 Tethrd skeletors. Bottom two have double step vital ground outdoors aiders on them. Gets me to 20-21 feet to platform pretty easily without have to stretch to far. I do have longer legs though. Kicking around the idea of switching to tethered one sticks to save some weight but don’t really think it’s worth it. Hunt primarily private ground so don’t have to walk miles to the stand.
 
4 skelators. Single step aiders on 3 double step on the bottom. 20 is no problem. About half the time I only use 3.
 
Wow, I guess I am the only one that has 6 sticks. I do 5-6 20" Beast sticks top one has the large Beast platform.
5 have 18" cable Aiders. Bottom has a three step aider.
I am in the market for a small set of any of the new carbon ones coming out, for my scout/ scout / hunt days.

You can't have too many sticks.

I have four Latitude SS carbon sticks and four 20" Beast Gear sticks for saddle hunting. Most of my fixed stand setups were around 15' and I did well at that height. So after a season of saddle hunting, I don't see the necessity of going much higher where I hunt. I have a two-step ultimaider from EWO and a couple Amsteel single step aiders, but rarely use them as I don't like the 'wiggles" coming down in the dark. I will sacrifice a couple feet of height for safety and peace of mind.

Give cable aiders a try. They work well with my beast sticks
