One Sticking - Single Sticking

Time to reveal another top secret climbing/rappelling system:

Ever wonder why you find so many mylar balloons in the woods? I use them to float up to hunting height.

...and when I want to come down? I just let go of 5 or 6 of them. The ultimate lightweight climbing/rappelling system. It weighs -8 ounces...

I'm curious how much noise these make coming through the brush ?

They are doing it wrong, back when I used ballons I started my float at the truck and when I got to my spot then I started letting enough go to slowly descend into my tree. You leave no ground scent this way. Bunch of rookies talking jibberish around these parts.

I believe I covered this method in my first post to this site. https://atlanticflyboard.com/flyboard-air

That's new to me but seems like a spin off of the old seesaw climbing method whereas the littleguy hangs from the legs while the fulcrum is anchored by the larger fellow sitting on the stand's seat back.

I gained a few pounds recently and changed methods altogether to avoid being relegated to the dreaded ground hunting position.

I just find heavier hunting partners. It's the same principle as the old saying, I don't have to outrun the bear, I just have to outrun you!
 
I’ve been using a 1/4” plastic tube with some zip ties in a tie fighter formation as my one stick. The hook and loop tree attachment is working solid, too.

My concerns are backing up my system, but then I was driving by a carnival and it occurred to me. Why not air up a a bouncy playhouse at the bottom of the tree? I’ve been running that on my public private lease all season and it works great! The best part is you can get inside the bouncy house when it’s raining and keep your D-lux snd happyrock dangerguard clean and dry.

Finally! I was highly concerned that our membership had lost their touch due to lack of safety reminders on such a serious thread. To that end, I invented the safest and lightest tether for 1 sticking. Piano wire with two loops on the ends. Girth hitch one to the tree and the other around the nutz. I will promise you that you will never even think about falling a mm and not have to worry about petty things like tether slack. Pretty much 100% safety guaranteed the entire climb!

Does it stuff nicely in a roll pouch?

I wouldn't worry about scent as much as the electrical energy field. You've got to wrap that camera, including the lens, in a Hecs shirt if you want deer close enough to film. You can get deer much closer that way, which is good because they are hard to film through the shirt.

I tried this but the HECS shirt covering my ozone device wasn’t scent lok and I kept getting busted. I added a second ozonics to cover the HECS and it seems to be working well.
