$2 DIY climbing stick aider (2min to make) 

Well thank you very much, that means a lot coming from you. And btw- I very much enjoy your channel, Keep up the good work.

🤙

Thanks for the knot name. And yeah, just a simple easy cheap idea, I used it for a cpl years and then did the same as you, amsteel and I just got black hose.. actually made a video the year after this video about those aiders too.. those are a little more expensive, but well worth it for the less bulk. 🤙

Appreciate it, you should check my other video out where I use Amsteel rope instead, much less bulky and weight limit is something like 2500lbs!

Yeah, I’ve actually been playing around with the idea. But for me where I hunt, it’s just not needed, as the trees get too thick at about 20ft. But after an early cow elk hunt this year, I thought that it would be cool to be able to get up higher and sit on a waterhole or game trail. Think I’ll give it a try later today. 👍

@@hufius if you tied a knot on both sides of your foam step you could then tie your second step above the knots. I just got a saddle so I was looking for something like this

@@bigz5262 going to give it a go for sure. Might do so I only have to pack in 3 sticks instead of 4..

Thanks. Actually just ordered a book about knots, seems like there’s tons of cool and good knots to know around.. and yea, so far no issues with the knots at all.

@@hufius check DIY Sportsman channel, Garrett shows how to properly tie that fishermans knot with rope parallel on one side and crossed in an x on the opposite side.... he had a tutorial on making your own diy lineman ropes and whatnot.

Thank you 😊 have a wonderful day

thanks (-:

Thanks 🙏 😊

I’m just around 200lbs. I’d recommend that you do what I did in my newer video about aiders - use Amsteel instead, holds up better and is lighter.

So I used mine all last season here in wisconsin, early September till late Jan. I probably got out about 30ish times with them, and they look perfect still. I wrapped a little extra tape on them after 20 times or so. But wasn’t really needed, just did it to stiffen up the step a bit. I’ll use them all this season too, and then I’ll likely just do new ones after that, since they are so easy and cheap to make. I had no problems when they got wet or snowy. Thanks for watching and good luck this season 🤙

Appreciate it, glad you found it helpful. 🤙

I can quite easily get up to 20ft platform height, but now I’m getting curious about how high I can actually get if I put them as far from each other as possible. Might have to do a video on that. I’m thinking 23-25 without too much trouble. I’ll get back to you on that for sure 🤙

Hufius TV I put my order in today. Can't wait !!

Let me know how you like them. I love who easy the are to pack and walk around with. Do you saddle hunt ?

I realized last week how much property I have to hunt between my farm, friends farms that I have permission on, and a couple of public land opportunities I have...but I won't go hunt them because I don't have stands up for all of it and don't like hauling in my climber early in the morning to struggle for a perfect tree.... and decided I want to give this a try. Guys of all sizes and ages seem to like/love Saddle hunts... so let's give it a go Looking forward to seeing just how high you can safely go!!! I'm hoping to find my way to 25' min for most all of my hunts. 18'-20' just seems to get me busted in all my spots.

Glad to hear that buddy.. (-:

Thanks a bunch 🤙

I definitely wouldn’t use thinner, if anything, use heavier- for safety. I’m sure thinner will slice through the insulation pretty quick. I’ve used mine for 30+ sits (the ones from the video) and I have no problems with them. I do wrap them pretty tight in tape. Good luck

Yeah, I figured. I might try garden hose, then if that doesn't work switch to thicker cord

I cut mine at around 6ft, so for me, I just pull a full arm span and cut it there. Then make a knot close to the end on one end, adjust to the desired length and then just cut the rest off after making the last knot. Hope that makes sense. 🤙

What rope did you use?

Hi, I got the paracord from Home Depot - they stopped with that exact poundage but now have a 340lbs I think, you can Facebook msg me and I’m happy to help you out. Jonas Knigge Laursen

I got it at Home Depot - let me find the link. Don’t think they have the 320 anymore for some reason, but I’ll get back to you in a sec.

www.paracordplanet.com/cord-comparison-chart/ This should work. I can’t find that stuff at Home Depot anymore for some reason. It was an Everbuilt I used in the video

Do you think 550 paracord would work?

@@browningmontec absolutely- do you have hawks sticks?

@@hufius yes

It was/is 550, had another rope I got the day before for something else, that was 320lbs strength, and mixed them up. My bad. But any rope above your weight plus a bit, should work just fine. I use mine almost daily, and they are holding up great. I’m 100% sure there’s better options. But this works, and is cheap and easy. And I feel perfectly safe using it. I’m around 200lbs. Sorry about the mistake 🤙

@@hufius yea para only has I think a 110lb working weight
