Single stick modifications to Muddy Pro.

Well they are a great stick and sturdy, my only thing is I wish the standoffs were sharper like the EWO UtraClimbingStick or the Shikar's those standoffs you can just press against the tree and they bite in. My muddy pro standoffs are dull. Not thinking you can file aluminum but maybe? I think they make them sharp on the CNC.

Don't want them too sharp. You may have trouble releasing them when reaching down to move them up . You can file aluminum but keep in mind when you start filing too sharp is going to work against you.

Less slack in the overall system and that helps with one sticking up and is inherently safer. Cleans up for the rappel down a bit too but I didn't go out of my way to shorten my bridge when rappelling down this year. My early season setup was a Tactisaddle which has a webbing bridge but I added an amsteel cruzr adjustable bridge to my loops as well and used that for one sticking and my rappel. I could cinch it up a bit tighter, quicker and felt like I didn't want to pound on my webbing bridge for the climb up and rappel down. I used the webbing bridge strictly while at hunting height. Actually I had both attached to my tether but the amsteel was loose on the biner the webbing bridge was holding me. Just a bit of redundancy in my system.

I was thinking along the same lines . I went back to a rope prussic on my tether with safety my main concern . I'm thinking the Mad Rock Safeguard is a great tool but noise and saftey remain issues for me . I am thinking I'll use my tether to climb and rappel down untill I'm comfortable . I am right at 13.4 lbs pack weight including my stick , platform, and my DIY scooter platform. I sling my bow and can carry my stuff anywhere with breaking a sweat.
