Stick guys, here's another option for climbing. Before I found the joy of saddle hunting, I was a lone wolf/rock harness mobile guy (thanks Garrett). Bryan Landry (mobile hunting gear) created Stick Talons, allowing one trip up the tree without the two extra sticks dangling at your side. Pretty cool idea that I used for a couple of seasons. Boom!!Then I found saddles, shorter sticks, amsteel, oplux, nite-eyz, and Mike Isbell pack mods (backwoods mobile gear). But still had sticks dangling from my waist. After revisiting an idea with Bryan, here is the initial prototype. Basically I reenforced the two side panels of my Sitka pack with 1/8" kydex, and directly bolted a Stick Talon to the pack. Again, this is just the Mark 1 Mod 0 version, but I think you can grasp the concept. Works with my 24" sticks (shown) and my 20" pivot sticks. Here's the seed, you guys take it from here!!
