Exposure is over rated. Plus I feel I built my natural immunity up through years of climber tips and ladder slips!How are you ever going to build any immunity if you are never exsposed?
You could not 2tc some of the trees I climb. Every 2tc vid I see is a TP tree.
I did get injured by climbing sticks but not on the tree. I was descending a steep bank to cross a creek and the set of 4 lone wolf sticks I was carrying on a shoulder strap/aider shifted, throwing my balance off. I slid down the muddy bank and the sticks were under my right side when I landed. It bruised me up some. That wasn't a fun experience. I never did find a good way to carry those sticks until I carried them to my shop and hung them on the wall.
Please show me a picture of the tree that you think can’t be easily climbed using 2TC.
I never fell. But trying to climb with a movable aider in the dark was one of the most nerve racking climbs I have done. I had a one step movable aider with the bunji cord on it. Between my bridge getting hung up, the bunji catching on stuff when I moved, almost dropping it and the darkness. I would file it under near miss.
Hey give Kyler a break, his mother meant to say Tyler was his name at birth but due to her bad lissssp it came out Kyler and that’s what the nurse put on his birth certificate…but the day we live in you can get that changed as well as other things, so if he/she wants to be called Susie that’s a option also..
But I do love the sarcasm on this post…

I have a brother who is an actual kyle..and a cuzin who is an actual chad.whos best friends name is trevor....sounds like a tennis team
My first year I was using 3 step Heliums with a movable aider and one season of that drove me to one sticking. I fell climbing down a couple times, once down to the stick below the stick I was on and they were a PIA to carry. If I was not using the movable aider the gap between sticks would have been closer and I might not have fallen however then I would not be able to always reach the height that the conditions dictate. I would 2TC however I like having the small platform on top of my one stick, My 17 year old son is using the Heliums now (He carries 4 of them, kids....) however the deal is no aiders and he rappels out unless he is only one or two sticks up.
Thoughts on most recent poll results, deer hunting success, tree climbing risk
Upshot from the 3 recent polls I posted: - 70% of folks get the majority of their satisfaction from a hunt, from the actual killing of a deer. The definition of killing a deer seemed broad, but encompassed the actual act of killing, as well as killing=success=satisfaction due to reaching the...

Yep. That was my same set up. The 3 step hawk sticks. I used them after that, but not with an aider.
I got that faster than you could unpack sticks..the center trunk is way nicer than our Douglas fir...limbs...any tree that can be climbed with stix can be 2tc.safer...only the imagination makes it hard...logical phallasie.that i also believed ... till i was informed

Don’t make me go climb a live oak just to prove a point, because I have and I will do it again.
I meant show me a tree that you are climbing with another method that you think can’t be climbed with 2TC. Outside of rope climbing it’s all the same.

Gospel truth..you can 2tc.a tree that will violently throw your stix to the ground .... and kick them when they are down cussing them out of town...mean tree
2tc.is the hardest to figyer out.....but the easyest and safest most inexspencive way once you do....emphasis on its the easzyest
Funny ...as the most dangerous dude on saddle hunter when i use climbing gear it is the safest.
