How To Get Your Climbing Sticks Up The Tree 

Ima need to tie some antlers onto my sticks now 😂😂😂

Keep the gear simple. Less is more. Especially running mobile. Start with good stand and sticks. Either put a hip belt on the stand or get a pack that you can put the stand and sticks on. But money wise sticks and a stand are most important. You can get a molle hip belt for 15 bucks that will take the weight off your shoulders until you have the money for a good pack set up. It's worth looking at exo mtn, kifaru, kuiu, stone glacier, etc. For a quality pack. But again all in time when you can afford it. The hip belt on the stand works great on a budget. Will also need a damn good headlamp for trying to figure stuff out in a new spot in the dark. A gps or phone app. And a good saw. Not much more is needed. Any questions on anything just ask!

Oooh and a good harness and lineman belt!!!! That is mandatory!!!!

Sticks are fast safe and easy. Any questions just ask

Thank you sir!

Yes they do loosen up. But they will always be a little tighter than not having them. I found that after they have been on there for a few days they get easier and after a a couple uses they are good enough to not bother me. Then they just get easier and easier as the season goes on. But the first couple days they are pretty tight to work with. The noise reduction is amazing and in my opinion worth it. Other people have actually cut a slit in the bottom of the yak grip to let the strap feed thru with less resistance and had good success. But for me th er y work fine after a couple days of stretching and get pretty easy to use.

yes yak grips (kayak handle grips)

yep I have about 8 or 9 videos on hanging stands including one that shows how fast and how high with my set up. just search tree stand on my channel and they will all pop up for you.

This lineman belt is not available for sale but has to be made. Search lineman belt on my channel and will show you videos on what couple items you need and how to put it together. Super simple. Bit I can not sell them due to the cost of insurance on that sort of stuff.

@@SamkoTradBow thank you

Old discontinued seat of the pants minimalist harness. They stopped making it a few years ago.

@@SamkoTradBow Thanks for the prompt response...I'm looking for one like that with linesmen loops...what would you recommend?

@@joeldurette3209 I like the minimalist harnesses from tree spider, muddy, seat of the pants, and gorilla gtac air.

@@SamkoTradBow Again thanks Jason going to look into those. Been watching your videos for awhile just subscribed. Take care.

@@joeldurette3209 thank you.

Nope not even a little. They just hang on the side of the tree for you to climb. Nothing penetrates, bites, or hurts the tree.

Between 12 and 18 feet. Usually around 15 or 16

@@SamkoTradBow yeah, I dont see a use togo 20 feet

Between 12 and 18 feet with 14 to 16 as my average. Only go as high as I need to for cover

@@MrTNBassmaster I agree. The shot angles get to bad when you go to high
