- 2tc two tether climbing
Oh yes. You're missing something incredible.
Coast Ghost
A while ago my buddy @tailgunner sent me a saddle that quickly became my A #1 favorite saddle ever (and yall know how I like the Evo). He employed some features on this thing that I don't think I've seen on any other saddles out there. The reasons it has become my favorite are: 1. There isn't...

Well. Why haven't i tried 2tc yet? not sure. But gonna see how i like it. Made a donation to @always89y for a 2TC kit. I always show up late to the party. But I guess it's time to give a try.
Awesome! Just go low and slow at first until you get the hang of it. Go up a few moves and come down. Once you get that move down pat going high is just repeating it. Let us know how it goes.
Ole boy is just excited, let’s cut him some slack. There are plenty of other people that plug their climbing systems all over the place, cross pollinating threads. That said, trying two sticks to advance the tether is great idea that I would like to try with 2tc, so I think it’s applicable.
HOWEVER! if he is selling these push stick things then I would agree per the rules he needs a vendor badge and would need to limit his gear pushes to the vendor section.
Although his are nifty, plenty of opportunity for DIY. boat snaps, zip ties, tarp poles, blind and fan rods, paint poles, pvc, etc, whatever you have laying around...plastic broom sticks. Very triable with not much effort or expense. With 2tc, I'm thinking a couple short sticks might help some, no need for anything too long. Idk, maybe it'll suck. But maybe worth a shot.
Ok guys here's the deal I have not sold one stick yet. Not even on craigslist where I live but hope to. I do hope someone will pick them up and want to produce commercially. I really, really, believe that this is going to save lives. If nothing else promote hunting. (saddle hunting) For people getting old and fat like me. Oh yeah you bet I dream of making some money. Become a vendor. But I promise you it isn't ALL about the money. I am just one guy a carpenter. I have no company. Not yet.
Yes. That's why we are here. I appreciate the enthusiasm. But please do not take over every thread. There is more than one safe climbing system. The topic of safety has been discussed many many MANY times here. It's nothing new. But please be respectful to the other threads trying to keep them on topic to what the original thread was about. I can see your passionate about it. That's great. But it's nice to keep some organization to the forum.
Quite possibly so. The only potential issue I see in it, having not tried it but being proficient at 2TC is the possible introduction of a good bit of slack in the top tether. The nice thing about 2TC is if done the traditional way is not more than 18 inches or so of slack.
This is 1 sticking.I don't carry sticks that don't shoot.
just got back from a blistering hot scouting walk, 2TC’ed a bit hanging cams 10 ft up. (A must on NJ public). Definitely solidified my setup, Easily did my first branch pass with a 3rd oplux tether. (My main tether is Canyon IV, i like the instant rappel option when needed)
I Love my 8 mm oplux tethers (thanks, Latitude) so last tweak is webbing sheaths to keep my oplux from shredding up, and to stiffen and assist the tether moves. I’ll probably cut 2 tether handles, add to the webbing as well. I see some in your videos, wanting to see specifically what webbing you are sourcing/where, since stiffness matters. Sorry if it was posted somewhere earlier, this thread Has gotten crazy long. Here’s some pics of my setup.

Mats right.maybe there needs to be a ...hey vendors thread so threads don't get hijacked. Could advance the sport too.vendors could hijack ideas faster and get them out to the public faster
It can't be me to start the thread though........more than half the vendors block me for a reason....I make fun of people selling work tools as hunting hunting gear
So.ultra light run n gun huntin system here
Already exists my guy but you can’t post in them unless you’re a paying member
Good no time waisted.anyways why 2tc.???? My saddle climbing gear and petastool.are3 and a half pounds combined and wet.some saddles alone are 3 1/2 pounds.do the math
Also its more "things" to add to a simple system that work, which also means figuring out a way to carry them as well.
Who is gonna only 2tc this year?
