POST SEASON: 2019 Hawk Helium Climbing Sticks Review 

Great video! I really appreciate you showing how you packed them in and get them up the tree. I am brand new to saddle hunting and it helps a lot to see things like that!

Great detail on holding the back of the strap with your left hand to remove the tension. As I am starting those details are such a big help. Thank You!

Thanks so much for all these reviews man.. they r helping me decide on each I need by all ur videos.. h2 saddle nd jx3 saddle I'm about to order.. now trying to find best sticks. Was looking at the hunting b sticks

Very good video on the Hawk Climbing Sticks and tree placement.

Great video. Thank you for the detailed tips.

I love my Hawks, also have the 2019. I use 4 sticks with and aider on the first stick. I also made daisy chains for them. Awesome setup

Awesome video. Thanks for the review!

Great “real” demo. Much appreciated.

I think the people who are disliking the videos even though it's only like two or three here and there but I think they're just pulling it up on RU-vid and not really searching this up and that's why they don't like it because there's no reason why any of your videos should get a dislike they are very informative like very very

I’ve been watching your videos for a couple years and enjoy them. You are detail oriented among other things. I’ve already seen this video a couple times years ago but went with different more expensive sticks that I am happy with. I am looking for a backup setup. I have benefited from your detailed product reviews. If I could humbly make a suggestion to return my gratitude it would be to buy a good pack like a mystery ranch. I also had an x2 but that pack handicapped my capabilities and where I could go and what I could do. For example, I shot two bulls last year. A 400lb bear that I baited with my pack and hauled out on my back. Two mature bucks I had to bone out and carry out on my back because I was that far back… A couple years ago, I injured my shoulder working out, couldn’t use my bow for a year and a half or carry the x2 with over 25lbs. A good pack can be adjusted for people to accommodate shoulder and back problems. Total game changer. I hike a few times a week and hunt all across America and am not affiliated. I got mine on sale originally 550 for 300

I got these and the platform that attaches to the top for valentines day. Can't wait to try them out this season. Also mine came with the daisy strap and not the buckle

great video!

Great video! Might think about using a HSS safety rope along with lineman’s belt for added safety. Be safe and God bless

I like what you did.

Looks like you are very comfortable with your system..

This video proved I'm a complete noob lol. I'm rocking just one stick right now with a tree seat. My po-man begginer setup with some rope lol.

Thanks for the video - I use these sticks, and am always looking for new ways to do things. I'm going to try the same aider setup as you I think. I've also been trying to see a good video on how one carries these sticks in with a pack, and the Eberlestock is one I'm seriously looking at. I am curious about your dump pouches though - I like that big one. Which one is it? Thanks!

I'm a new subscriber, enjoyed the video. I will be using the 30" heliums for the first time this fall. I was considering buying an additional set, just so I'd have an extra stick but after seeing your aider set-up I'm thinking I might have something that could work for that. Did you buy that strap or did you make it from something that you had laying around? I've got some tree stand safety straps that came with the stands, that I'm not using...you just gave me an idea of what I could use them for.

To each his own. I have bowhunted for 34 years, shot 54 deer. If I had to back pack all that stuff in, "plus" carrying my bow, and stand. I would have never got into deer hunting. Then add heavy clothing for extreme weather. And hip boots to get into swamps. Talk about taking the fun out of the sport. I'm 64 now. At one time I could go up a tree like a gray squirrel. Today my knees feel like someone is on my back when I go up a tree. What I am saying is this. A few more years from now. You won't be carrying that pack into the woods.

They took away those cam buckle straps and replaced them with these straps that have no buckle. They have a series of loops stitched into them the full length of the strap. Which is a great concept but the strap itself kinda sucks. They’re under sized, and they don’t inspire confidence. Also the holes don’t line up well half the time, requiring you to use a looser setting and pull the stick down a lot further at times. Where as the cam buckle straps fit perfectly and are tight no matter what and do so consistently.
