I kind of didnt want to post this because I domt want to take sales away from a great small company making awesome stuff for us huntin fools... with that said, I have been wanting to try out the 'strap stager' idea for myself but I am a tinkerer who's WAY over budget on hunting gear this year (thanks to yall! hehe) so here I am.
Full disclosure, I havent sat down and put much thought into what hardware (plastic) to use nor have I even attempted to stage a strap on a tree so any experience is welcome/required!
Biggest question (I think) may be the
printed piece(s) that clamps prior to the loop opposite the side that has a 'hook on a bungee loop'. This does 2 things that I can tell: allows strap to be clamped by the piece in question (or pieces), and positions the loop away from the tree.
I think I can figure out the rest pretty well just hoping someone has tried this. I do suspect that any diy attempt at this will fall well short of what the '3dgen' guys make but figured its worth a shot despite knowing I probably won't use em long term and I'll likely buy one at some point anyhow.
Post is alot longer than planned so I may as well add my why: I'm using lwcg doubles right now and always use my knaider/swaider with sticks so i like the bottom step around chin level. W/ my cam cleated shikars it was easy to flip my amsteel up as high as 8ft, however with a cam buckle strap, the buckle weight and strap itself make that really difficult, especially on pines. Enter diy SH members!
Oh and yes I do like the CB straps on these sticks (and these alone) but often use amsteel and buckleless so that 1st off-topic, we can just skip. Thanks
Oh and I'll also add I buy alot of plastic hardware from dutchweargear so they may have something to use for this. If not, maybe some of you will atleast find a new place to lighten up your back pockets!
