Today I went to practice one stiking to get more comfortable doing it and work out any bugs with my stuff.
I been climbing different type trees to see if it will work across the board for me and so far so good.
As with all my tree stands I am getting it to a repeatable method.
I like to climb up and down in a specific order everytime as much as possible.
I substituted my tether for a long line and on my first climb today I forgot to clip my bow line to my belt.
Not that I was going to haul the bow up but I use the same line to retrieve my rappel/climb line with after I descend.
I made a Blake's hitch and went back up with bow line in tow.
What a pain that was without a slack tender. Lol
This is a fine example of why I get an order of operation and stick to it.
Really liking the system.( Cain method)
