Hey guys, last year I ran 3 full length hawk helium sticks. They weren't bad, I just decided to try something else this year since they are the only stick I have ever used. I ordered 4 EWO 22'' sticks. My question is, what have you all find that you LIKE best as far as attaching them to tree? Strap, Rope mod, Daisy chain, Whoopi etc? I only have experience with strap and rope mod. Thanks in advance, just trying to decide what I want to run this year, leaning towards daisy chains.

Have used daisys before, had the occasional kick out. I used this method all last season and won’t look back! even more secure than buckles. Only takes a few seconds more! Highly recommend this method!
Same as above, that Airial assault video is a good reference.
I now one stick with amsteel daisy and throw a hitch on at last move. I prefer it to cam cleat
I have used others with EWO stick.
*Cam strap - no advantage other than familiarity with these
* Amsteel Rope Mod- light, solid, but not as consistent for me, in dark or cold.
* Woven Daisy Chain - good option if you already have one , not easy to use with gloves/ cold.
*Amsteel whoopsie daisy.- I keep with me in case Amsteel daisy is not grabbing bark well / back up.

I use the 7/64 daisy and the trucker's hitch as in the video above, on my sticks and the same trucker's hitch with 1/8th daisy on my pred XL platform. Another alternative is the timber hitch using the same daisy chains. If you do a search on timber hitch or trucker's hitch, you will find a wealth of information as well as other videos.
I have been using full length lone wolf's with amsteel daisy chains and had no issues. Its simple and quiet.
