Climbing sticks offer hunters mobility based on changing deer patterns, food sources and seasons. They come at a cost though. Weight and bulkiness can make it strenuous to hike far enough into the woods to get away from most hunting pressure. The 3 Step DIY Aider that I build in this video will save you money, reduce weight, and get you 3-4 feet higher in a tree when you hunt this fall. Take my ideas, tweak them to fit your needs and hunt smarter this fall.

A 17” step with a rope step aider when body weight is placed in the steps will probably stretch the spacing probable close to 19” spacing. I seen that made a big difference when it’s cold and have on extra clothes.

I learned the same thing after using this aider system for one year. It stretched a lot and definitely made it more difficult to step up, especially in winter clothing like you said. I have since adapted my aider system and posted a new video that may help you out "Tethrd One Sticks An Aider System that Really Works". Check it out and let me know what you think. Curt

I’ve been trying to decide on a material to reinforce the steps of mine and hadn’t thought about a hose. Excellent job, and I plan on following this.

@whitetailsdeerhunting7159 10 месяцев назад

If you go to my RU-vid channel I have since updated that first setup with a better one.

@glend4704 Год назад

I made one exactly like you did and I was able to use less than 17’ of rope.

@whitetailsdeerhunting7159 Год назад

Saves $ and I am confident in the safety of what I built. What sticks do you use?

@glend4704 Год назад

@@whitetailsdeerhunting7159 I use cheap steel sticks. I leave them on the tree. I use the 3 step aider to keep others from hunting my stands. I hunt public land in AZ

@glend4704 Год назад

@@whitetailsdeerhunting7159 also, I saw comments on the strength of the rope you used. I used the same rope you did. Do you feel it’s safe? I’m currently looking at 1/4” para cord now.

@whitetailsdeerhunting7159 Год назад

@@glend4704 Nice. I use my 3 Tethrd One Sticks. All total, sticks and aiders are less than 4 pounds. I also have some old 30” XOP sticks and 4 Big Game Hang Ons. I leave these in my tree in my 4 most likely places I will sit this fall. All I need to do is come in with my 3 sticks to get up to the XOP stick and hang on.

@glend4704 Год назад

Where do you live/hunt? I’m originally from PA and I miss hunting deer back there. Although I do like hunting mulies from the ground here in AZ. I also use tree stands as well, but the mulies aren’t as patternqble like whitetails

@whitetailsdeerhunting7159 2 года назад

I like my aider on my first stick but I am not comfortable putting aiders between sticks. Does anyone have a safe way they use aiders between sticks?

@jd_6042 Год назад

it’s very common for one sticking

@whitetailsdeerhunting7159 Год назад

@@jd_6042 I just purchased Gen 2 Tethrd ONE Sticks. I am going to build a beefier 2-step aider to move up the tree with me.

@whitetailsdeerhunting7159 Год назад

I am using a 2-step aider on my bottom stick and 2-1 step aiders on my new Tethrd ONE sticks.

@jimhatley1960 Год назад

What type of hose, and what's the inside diameter of it?

@whitetailsdeerhunting7159 Год назад

I used a smaller hose that is used for campers. the inside diameter is 1/2 inch

@jfitzikner9 Год назад

I'd be careful with 500lb rope... every knot you tie reduces the strength and integrity of the rope.

@jocohobo1949 Год назад

Not to mention that the working load is only 60 lbs. YIKES! I wouldn't use that rope for an aider.

@glend4704 Год назад

@@jocohobo1949 I built aiders just like he did on the video, with the same rope. Then I took them apart and rebuilt them with a 5/16” para cord that’s rated to 3,200 lbs. it cost me $27 for 50’ of it and that was enough to build three 3 step aiders. Better safe than sorry!! Glad you put your comment on here or I wouldn’t have known not to use the same rope as in the video.
