Tethrd One Stick Gen 3's - Season review so far

[Bowtie747]

So I’m not a huge fan of 3 step aiders. Wanting mainly a 2 step. Anyone ever notice if u have a 3 step aider but mostly setup for 2 step if the 3rd step gets in the way?

One sticking crappy trees sometimes I can only use 1 step of my 3 step aider. The other steps never really got in the way. I would rather not need it and have it than need it and not have it. Lots of situations before my one sticking days I wished I could get a little higher but ran out of sticks.

Thanks! But I mainly meant for climbing with sticks? Still think it wouldn’t get in the way?

Yea I’m thinking backwoods mobile gear. Be nice to have 3 steps for the bottom stick but I don’t like 3 steps they seem less stable. So I’m thinking 2 step but like u said it’s nice to have it. Just wasn’t sure if the 3 step would hinder me if I only use it mainly as a 2 step

… andtight, quiet stacking makes them the better option for me.

Don’t know if you added the SSS system from G3D but man is it worth it. Took the short pins and put them on bottom as you no longer need the strength of the longer ones with the clips on top. Whole new world of easy.

I didn’t like that 3 step GCone at all. Felt really twisty to me. But I don’t think it would get in the way.

I heard he has a better system in the works for stacking the one sticks. I never really had a problem with the pins. They were tight at first but after a little Vaseline and breaking them in… I like the pins.

I thought I saw him post somewhere he was designing something to replace bottom pins to remove top/bottom all together. I guess we’ll see.

The pins work fine for me. I carry 5 sticks and just use the pins to hold them together. My last stick has a paracord loop that I hook on a kydex clip from EWO. Works great, don’t need anything else.

More questions. I’m looking at going ahead and replacing the cheap knock off amsteel that comes with them.
When going to most of the previously recommended places to order (vital ground, RDA amsteel) they don’t seem to off the 7/64th that most people seem to recommend. Is there a reason for this? Or has anyone else found them in 7/64th? Thanks

Eastern Woods Outdoors has 7/64.

They are a China size between 7/64 and 1/8… 7/64 works good enough for me.

I found lining up the pins to be a huge fiddle factor. Stacking with the Double Claws eliminated the fiddle.

I like the RDA ropes. He puts a piece of shockcord on the end for easy packing and tidying up the rope on the tree so it ain’t flapping in the wind.

I personally like the RDA guy myself. Have meet and talked to him before. Funny enough is I recognized his voice from his big stick comparison video. Only problem is I don’t see 7/64th rope mods on his website anymore.

I went to these for this coming season. So far they are excellent.
