They stole their "original saddle" idea....lolIf Tethrd didn't exist I bet 50% of the people here wouldn't be on this forum. They are creative, generous, kind and work harder/smatter than any other "saddle company".
Well my Japanese Kubota Tractor works good sooo.....My cell phone says made in Japan they are a notch or two above Chinese manufacturing.
And almost every other idea that happened by “happy accident”... but it’s not about who had the idea first, it’s about who got to the patent attorney the quickestThey stole their "original saddle" idea....lol
No matter what shape you are in, if you walk in deep on hilly terrain, then you can get fatigued. Some of us try to decrease weight everywhere we can, including sticks/other climbing method. If you analyze every part of your setup and spend the money/brain energy to come up with a lighter weight option, then overall you can really decrease pack weight (I don't think I need to explain how decreasing weight on all items by 33% ends up decreasing overall weight by 33%). I don't one stick (I use 12 steps and a platform), and I have my full pack (Mystery Ranch with sternum and waist straps) down to less than 15 lbs and that includes the pack plus everything I need for safety, not getting lost/survival, snacks, self-rescue, etc for an all day rut hunt. (minus any extra clothes I would pack during really cold weather) I'm in great shape for my age, but a 15 lbs versus a 25 lbs pack is a big deal if you walk straight up a big hill in WV and make a 5 or more mile round trip that day.
I feel these "get in shape, you fat/weakling" comments are just macho chest thumping and don't add anything to the conversation.
I agree I wish we could buy everything made in America but that's not an option. I do like buying made in America when available and at a competitive price.I think the main complaint on China made products is the fact they are a communist regime
I think some of the pro staff were using some aiders in some of their video's but I may be wrong.But...I ultimately question the weight savings. How many Tethrd sticks are needed compared to slightly heavier options that use devices to elongate the stick's effective length (aka aiders).
We've heard murmurs of solutions, but to my knowledge, aider use with these sticks is still a little up in the air.
For folks not using aiders, seems you're gonna have to stretch things out and need a lot of sticks.
From my understanding it was a small group effort by a few SH members and New Tribe. The good 'Ole boys from Tethrd snatched it up and made a company.And almost every other idea that happened by “happy accident”... but it’s not about who had the idea first, it’s about who got to the patent attorney the quickest
For those concerned with weight savings. You can get a gym membership for the price difference between some Hawks and these sticks. Problem solved.

Yes, but here is my current understanding of compatibility:
Wire Aider = No go
Versa (cleat) Aider = Not recommended by Tethrd
Knaider / Swaider = Damages Sticks
I think some of the pro staff were draping webbing aiders over the top or something. Like I said, its a bit up in the air. And with the already short standoffs, likely a bit precarious when done.
A lot of this discussion has really gotten funky, and folks have set up camp well before this release. Miving over the old ground, I'm curious to know what the aider "solution(s)" are.
I'm excited to see what kind of aiders the members of this forum will create once they get their hands on these.Yes, but here is my current understanding of compatibility:

The company may be based there but I would think if the sticks were made in the USA the website would advertise that? I thought that Hawk were made in China? I could be wrongMy mistake. Frankenmuth, MI
