Tethrd Gen3 One Sticks $299

so you put the top standoff against the tree, but the bottom of the stick is pointing to 3 o'clock, you then do a wrap of the rope around the dino thingie, bring the stick to rest vertical, and then finish up with your dino lock notch work?

And twist it a couple times and that will do the trick.lol

But everyone has an opinion! The attachment method is probably the best in the industry! IMO Lol! :). I could see where a size 14 would be tough especially with big boots!

It was not the best tree, a little uneven, but that is when I go to sticks.
I could work around the aider issue, but I can not deal with that roll pin the size of a toothpick.

Have to admit it worried me at first, no issues. I’m actually thinking of having a friend of mine cut a small rod of stainless and putting it in the opening just for piece of mind and JB weld it in place??!

you can find titanium bolts that will fit in there and be stronger....almost did it but then was concerned about unlike metals causing galvanic corrosion and figured any modification i made would be untested whereas the roll pin configuration has been tested a lot the past few years....i had the bolts in my cart....if you want, i can probably find the link, it took digging to find high strength (grade 12 or something?) titanium bolts that were both thin and long

I bought another set of rope containment buttons and mounted them backwards for peice of mind to keep the pin from walking out. Strength wise...I am not worried about the pin breaking. They tested the sticks to failure and what failed was the tube bent at 900+ lbs if I recall correctly.

Appreciate the offer. To be honest I probably won’t do anything to them. Feel it would void any warranty plus I haven’t seen any issue. Thanks for the offer!

Can you please post a picture of what you describe here above^^^^^^^^^^^^?
 
Is that rated at or better than the roll pin?? Love the idea!
 
enkriss said:
It’s the same as the bottom step. Screw goes through the rollpin.

Just didn’t pay that much attention. But great way for piece of mind for roll pin to stay in place with a little reinforcement plus the advantage of the extra button! Thanks for the idea!

I copied this just now except I did not include the big plastic button and instead just have the little nut against the back of the standoff with a little extra bolt sticking out (but there's nothing for it to snag in between the teeth....so I won't file it down). Just used a hemostat as a tiny wrench.

Is there a concern you had or other reason you included the plastic button? The nut diameter is around 0.1 mm smaller than the head of the bolt. I just don't want something to bite me because I didn't think of something.

As long as the bolt head and nut are larger than the hole in the step for the rollpin it should be ok

I notice the back of the plastic containment button is concave.

I wonder if that is because of ideas to mate it with a tube? Creating water drainage ports to keep water from getting trapped would probably be notches.

The front of the step is rounded.
 
Got these a few days ago, only fiddled on a tree in the backyard, any advice on easily releasing the rope to take the stick off the tree? After wrapping and pulling it down through itself I’m left with a cinch that I have to fiddle with to loosen…

Dont hitch it. Just do the X through the dynalock tab. I have never had it slip.

I've been doing a wrap around the post to pull it tighter and then doing an X pattern and no hitch.

Other folks are going around that dynalock tab notch thingie with 1 wrap and then doing the X pattern with no hitch.
