I tagged out in early November, so I ended up with some free time and decided to mod some of my gear. I used tethrd skeletors all season and really liked them. So I decided to cut down my old hawk heliums. I cut the first one at 17" from the top down and put a ronstan medium cam cleat and hsp platform on it to try out one sticking. I made a 15" - 3 step amsteel aider for it and a 1/8" full bury for the attachment rope. The 6mm accessory cord had too much movemwnt the 1 time I tried it on a tree.
The second one I cut 20" up from the bottom and drilled out new step and stand off holes by using the cut off section as a jig after I clamped them together. This gives it a roughly 17" step distance. I eventually cut the third stick the same as the 2nd
