- 2tc two tether climbing
Well 2TC is to me the first step of an SRT/JRB system if you leave a preset string behind, if you'll use the tree again that is. Otherwise, I 2TC up every new tree ill hunt.
My beloved fuzzy dice steps will still be utilized for prests
You are just sooooooo not safe without grade 8 million pound ratedToo much metal...my ears my ears...!
They take your shoe laces from you in jail for a reason.you can hang yourself from them and 2tc. Up a pole and over the fence.
Me. That is unless I just sit in the Pacseat.
The thought crossed my mine and then I tried to climb a big shag bark hickory for the first time and I quickly decided I’d rather rope climb some trees.
If I can get my pre sets in. The plan will be rope climb a bigger tree pre set, or 2tc if I can get it down. That's the goal. Hopefully I can make it happen. Gonna try to trade out 2tc for one sticking.
*Unless I just sit on my bucket*
I plan to use 2TC for the majority of my climbs this season. I may hunt some off the ground also.
I am, most likely. Mosquitoes have been nasty this year and to be honest, I have no desire to fight them while setting presets. Depending on weather and temps, I may even skip the first week or two of archery until it cools off and maybe the first frost if lucky.
Same plan for me this season, at least til it gets really cold, then we’ll see.
Lol I started out with that kind of gear 10yrs ago Still have it I just use on construction jobs. It was a cheap pawn shop buy got the spikes too Hey it is heavy! But cozy

I got out and did another 2TC climb this morning. I didn't time it or video it this morning since I was just going for a fun climb for the first time since my wrist healed back up. It seemed comparable. It was good to be back in the saddle again. I do plan to get all my gear together and get that sorted out and do a full-on climb where I take all my hunting gear, bow, ring of steps, all of it, and do a timed climb with a bow shot to finish it all out. That may be next week sometime. I need to get all that sorted out. It's only 60 days until the season starts!
GRC, I like your approach in this post! I agree it’s hard to contain excitement sometime when you’ve made something you’re proud of!
I can definitely think of one guy who plugs a rope climbing system video literally every single post out there, however to be fair, that guy isn’t selling his system, he’s just trying to get guys to try it, educate them based off his experiences and loves to list his perceived advantages. Asking people to look at your video, is a little different than selling products. I brought up the vendor badge on his initial post after I saw the video mentioning selling them…
I will say this, in one stick climbing, 2TC, slack is the biggest threat to safety, by using something like the push stick you can get the rope higher thus minimizing the slack potential or even eliminating it fully. MattMan is right though, once you’ve dropped a plug a couple times, people check it out. Any extra post or comments about it, is just kicking the proverbial dead horse…
Block you my butt, they ought to go hunt with you a couple times just for the fun of it! If I ever make it out that way, you’re gonna have to show me how to 2TC those trees you can’t get your arms around though
lol Shameless plug for tailgunner though here guys, his personal saddle looks really cool, it’s super lightweight too. I asked to try one since ol Red has been plugging him. And I must admit he has some ideas that would definitely work well, if constructed properly.Back to the thread, I showed a couple guys the 2TC concept of climbing at this outdoor expo I did last weekend. They thought it was crazy so I took them to Jerry’s videos and showed them his set ups and methods. Hopefully he gets a couple 2TC kit orders in the very near future
I couldn’t find Redbeard’s video or I would have also used that so people could see what it looks like when a squirrel runs up a tree
If I'm going up a tree this year it will be 2TC, ground hunts are possible but not overly likely. I made a few climbs this weekend on trees with real bad lean, one to trim/cut down for my in-laws and one to practice for that climb. I'm definitely not saddle or climbing shape at the moment but the motions came back easy and never felt sketchy, just harder than when I last climbed.
its call getting old, embrace the suckness with the rest of us.
No sir I will not get old quietly....I will moan and groan the whole time about it.
I have decided to do the same about it. Mostly when I sit and get up
