I had contacted him about the bolt holders. I know his craftsmanship is amazing, but I think I am looking for more of a pouch style versus a roll out holder. Something I can keep clipped or lashed onto my pack.

I picked up a pouch he made that is worn like a bino harness second hand from the classifieds here. I'll see if I can locate the picture and I'll PM you.

Dude, that's the best idea I've seen yet!

Thanks man! It works perfect for how I use it. I normally keep a pair of gloves in there too. As long as you are careful pulling the bolts out you don’t get the noise from the threads rubbing together.

I can fit 18 bolts and a drill in my eberlestock accessory pouch that I have attached to my saddle. I also put grip tape and reflective tape on the bolts so I can see them in the dark easy

I like the setup, but does it not seem heavy with that many bolts , I only carry 10 -14 with my drill and it sags my saddle.

I carry mine in my pack, then strap to sternum strap on pack to climb with. Iit doesn't bother me. I can see it being heavy on a saddle

Its 3.5 lb.... with the platform clipped to my saddle it does kind of sag walking in. I tighten my bridge over my yoke and it helps alot.

3.5lb for a climbing system is the great in my books.

It could be better and I'm thinking of trying to maybe get a pouch that can attach to a strap on my pack

I've seen a lot of great setups. I think my best route is to buy something cheap to get an idea of what I want/need in a bolt holster. What I found is similar to a lot of the ones mentioned. It was $8 shipped. Hoping it will fit the bill!

Here is how I do it. I carry it in my pack til at the tree.

Full size Treehopper drill, 8 steel bolts and 9 titanium "bolts" fit without rattling. I run a cheap strap through the molle on the back and sling it over my shoulder as I climb. Just unzip at the top and everything is accessible easily. The mesh pocket in the front, I carry reflective racks for marking trees.
Weighs about 3.5#

Nice! Looks really similar to the one I just purchased. Good to know that it'll work!

VTBOW. do you have any pics of the T Steps while on tree, I like the idea of using them as a ROS. Also nice to a all in one compact system.
 
I may have to reconsider selling my 10 carbon fiber and 19 titanium bolts and the bolt pouch that Squirrel made after reviewing this thread. I'll give it a couple of more days...

What were you switching to? I’ve been practicing with climbing with spurs for this season but still plan to keep my bolts around.

I bought all 28 of my bolts as a splurge. Did not care for them an went back to one sticking.
