Best thing I did for mine was add a nite ize mega gear tie. Makes the moves so much easier. I don't have to drop down anymore for the next transition. I've since switched to having it doubled over to the way @bfriendly did his. Works like a charm & folds out the way easily when needed. On the tree I just push it with my foot & it stays out of the way.
Ultimate One Stick Handle/Mega Nite Ize
So I got frustrated with the cable on the one stick & tried a regular gear tie & didn't like that either. Flopped around to much & still had to bend down to much or lower myself on rappel. I like getting the stick as high as I can & I mentally found it pointless to have to lower myself just to...

Maybe the most important 1 sticking mod noone talks about
I have watched so many videos on one sticking, but never saw anyone use this mod. In a post on here about really something else, I saw a big black gear tie on top of someone’s stick to use as a handle. EUREKA!! No doubt the hardest part of 1 sticking is reaching down, grabbing and raising that...

Another important part of one sticking is the rope, strap that holds the stick to the tree.
When you flip the line around the tree, make sure that there is about a 30 - 40 degree upward angle in the rope.
You do not want the rope parallel with the ground, you want the rope angled so when you pull the step up, there is enough slack in the line to allow you to lift the step up.

I didn't have a NiteIze Gear Tie handy, but I did have a spool of rubber-coated garden/trellis wire from Menards. Made a big loop with it, one end around the top cam cleat bolt, twisted it up, and left a hand-grip sized loop up top. So far it seems to work just fine, if maybe a bit 'floppier' than the Gear Tie. I'm probably going to put some heat shrink on it.
If you're up against it, a wire coat hanger will probably work fine, but I'd wrap it in heat shrink or vet wrap or something.

Gear tie is the way to go.
Used the same on my ONE stick one-stick last season and agree, works great!

Like the way you went through those holes. I didn't even notice those. And the Hawkin. Man I love that stuff. Can't find it around here anymore.
Cheers!
Hey, I just changed out my EWO pull wires, I’ve got a 15” wire you can have if you want it. They’re only 8 bucks, but I don’t need it. Send me your address and I’ll mail it today. It’s an EWO, just too long for my UOS with the lookout step on the bottom
I order Hawkins for hunting season.
The deer don’t seem to be at all afraid of the smell of that stuff.
