Are the API climbing sticks the best budget friendly sticks? At $99 you can take a stick from 3.5lbs to 2.3 - 2.4 lbs and still get approx 18'. Any questions, just let me know. Bass Pro Link: www.basspro.com/shop/en/api-o...
The dude has had almost every high-end stick out there. This is a DIY video as mentioned in the thumbnail. There’s a group that enjoys messing around and doing it themselves.
I have some of these sticks only down fall was they don't bite in the tree so when your climbing and your weight comes off the stick it starts coming back up and it squeak and pops. But they are good for the money. But I broke down this year and bought the beast sticks.
Im having this same issue with these sticks. Im thinking about hitting the feet on the bracket with a flat file to sharpen them up and see if that helps. Otherwise, i think theyre pretty good for the money.
Okay, I have a couple of questions. Do you have a video of how you set up the daisy chain, and how that works on the tree? And when you tie the aider, why not use flat nylon and a water knot?The nylon is probably easier to come by and lighter
I do have a video in regards to making daisychains. I do not have anything as far as attaching it to the tree, but essentially you wrap it around and put the closest loop over the versa button.
@@platinumpursuitoutdoors o sorry yea that’s why I asked didn’t hear you say it I picked up one pack and getting another and want to do the same modification you did !!!
Mike Raposo so when you cut them short you do so with the intentions of using some form of Aider. I cut like 3.5 lbs off of these and then put 22” amsteel aiders on each (which altogether is a few ounces). With the 22” aiders I could climb higher than with the regular sticks all the while saving 3.5 lbs.
Aaron Wright Outdoors I did not mean that in a bad way I was just trying to figure out how my cutting them you were not losing any height but I get it now
