Beast Sticks With Cable Aiders - Eastern woods Outdoors 

Thanks for climbing the tree and showing us

Well, been a month since I swapped out the Beast hardware to shorter tubes, being working on my leg strength/flexibility , have lost some more weight, anyway, ordered another 18" cable aider, and have put all the hardware back on the 24" sticks, went on my 3rd saddle hunt for pigs last Saturday, was able to get to 20' on the tree, had to "mod" the cables a little. I found that the cables didn't stay open like they did when new. My weight I quess, anyway, bought some nylon braided hose/tubing with a 1/2" inner diameter, cut it into 6" lengths, threaded them onto the cables. Now, I can fully step into the cables even with my big mud boots. spent 5 hours in the tree, saw a coyote that was all. getting more comfortable/confident with each sit. thanks for your videos. keep it up

I just got the gen 3 one stix....and I was blown away! Awesome

Thanks for putting the bolt length in the video. I grabbed some 1 1/4" from the hardware store and you're right, that length is perfect.

Got my 3 aiders from EWO, they are great, stay open for a secure climb up and down, swapped out my sticks for something 19", have 4 sticks, use the hardware from the Beast Sticks, they are great, the whole package got me to 16 feet today, my personal highest, am very height scared, they are great. Made the mistake of getting the longer Beast Sticks, physically couldn't get the height step to step on the longer stick, simply swapped out to a shorter tube, Get 4 1/2 feet per stick , getting more practice, for a newbie to saddle hunting this coming year. appreciate your videos

I just bought the cable aiders for beast sticks and they give the correct bolt now. They have packs for each specific climbing stick which is great.

Easy to cut the bolt down and paint the shiny bits before putting them on....great vid

If you spin the aiders the same direction the cable should lay flat. Spinning them opposite ways flips it inside out .....

You make some of the best videos for this type of hunting situation. Keep it up. I have enjoyed them all!

awesome vid man.

The cable aiders are a complete game changer. The only other kind of aider I’d ever consider now is a moveable one that is cinched around the foot, but it’s got to be slower and not quite as safe in my mind. Anyhow, with light, early season hunting clothes on and a lot of stretching, the cable aiders let me get just as high with my cut down Helium’s as I can my full length Helium’s because I can’t hang a stick any higher than I can reach, no matter the stick length. Yeah, I just figured that out this morning in the yard lol. Hopefully they hold up well for us. Think I’ll wrap a bit of reflective tape around the center of them for climbing in the dark unless you know of a better idea. Come to think about it, the only reflective tape I have is thin pin stripe tape. Something wider would probably stay on better. Any suggestions?

Check out Titan Straps in place of the Nite Izes gear tie.

Great video thank you for taking the time to put this together

Nice to see ya... love the Beast

Great video! Perfect timing, too...just ordered a set of four (18") from EWO last night. Best of luck this season!

I lost you in the tree😆 Great video brother. Very educational. Thx

I think if you order now you can select new bolt to fit

Look into Titan Straps for securing the sticks. They are basically like long silicone straps that use a watchband style securing. They work better than the Nite Ize because you can really crank them tight. Keeps the sticks more secure. I used the same nite ize gear tie last yr and it was OK but it already wore through the rubber coating and exposed the wire. I think the titan strap will work better for me this year. They are more expensive tho

Have you had any issues with the fixed bracket attaching to trees? I've used full sticks and my trees are commonly crooked or gnarly one way or another. Do you have any experience with that. Plus what is your primary sticks you run?

Nice hat!!! That shop is amazing. Wayne’s a solid dude

Keep up the great videos. Stay Safe and healthy.

Are those the 20 inch beast mini sticks? I wish Dan still made the 24 inch sticks. Selling some other sticks to get beast sticks.

Hey stupid question but I just got mine today and I noticed the want to hug the tree instead of sticking out to make it easier to get your foot into it ...logic says to just flip it but then the eyelets don't sit flush against the step

I stealth stripped my EWO aiders and there literally is zero noise. I also put my 18in aider on the bottom bolt and they still stack fine. Not sure if that's because I stealth stripped the tubes as well? The 18in aider hooks prefectly around the Beast Button and has zero movement. Good video btw.

Nice channel man, just gave you a sub!

U should spray paint before u install it

Awesome video - what did you use to bolt all the sticks together. Please share.

I can’t afford 4 beast stix lol beast gear isn’t for the blue collar man in today’s economy that’s for sure

Are the better than timber ninjas?

Do you think these would work with the Hawk Helium 20"?

wondering what is the weight limit for the aiders?

6:08- what straps are you using to secure your sticks to the tree? Looks like Versa Straps but I don’t recognize that color of strap unless Tethrd used to sell them in green.

Well, have a question, my cable aiders don't stick out from the stick/tree anymore. Probably my weight I quess, anyway I solved the problem of the cables being open enough to put your boot. The problem I have is the cable hang directly down from the stick. Trying to place enough of my boot into the aider, can't seem to get the aider to position in the middle of my boot, ends up on the ball of my foot. Need more "purchase" of the aider to confidently place weight on it to step up to the next step. Am toying around with the idea of slightly "bending" the ends of the cables, therefore forcing the cable to stick further out from the tree. What do you think? Do you think it would "weaken" the metal, reducing the strength of the cable end? Give your thoughts

How tall are just 2 of the mini Beast sticks when stacked together ?? I wanted a full set but they are just too darn tall to deal with going thru super thick brush, so I am considering using my Cranford steps to get up the first 12 feet then using 2 Beast sticks with aiders to make it to 20 feet (or at least close). And if you can also tell me how tall 3 stacked together come to, i might just do 3 of them... thanks a lot !!!

How much did those sticks and aiders weigh? Thanks for sharing !

how many feet up were you able to get? And are these the 20 or 24 inch? assuming 24

How do you feel about the wire aiders on your feet. I use tubular webbing aiders with garden hose currently. I worry that the wire will bind like crazy and pinch the crap out of my foot. I tend to wear stiff soled shoes while saddle hunting bit i wonder abt when i wear thin rubber boots

What size Beast sticks were you using in this video? Thanks for sharing

Are those the 20 inch minis or 24 inch standards that you use in video?

Just out of curiosity what are you using to carry your sticks on the way up the tree? Also do you carry 3 up, or hang the first 2 then carry 2? I currently have 2 loops of paracord on the sides of my harness that I hang two of them from.
