Which Amsteel Climbing Stick Attachment Method is Best? Daisy Chains, Rope Mods, or Whoopie Slings? 

I found that with the daisy chain, I get a very tight lock when I take the chain under the button, then take it back about 8"-12" and slide the tail end through a loop hole. Then pull it tight! This takes any slack out keeping your stick very tight. At this point you can put a loop around the button, set the stick down and your set. I've been enjoying your videos. Keep up the great tips.

The problem with the daisy chains is that the loops are too big, in other words, too much space between the loop knots. When I made mine, I used my 2 fingers as a measure to make the Brommell lock in the chain, this means that the loops barely fit over the button, however, the loops are closer together, much better chance of finding the correct loop for the button. hope this helps

Another great video. I have really learned so much from all your videos. This was my first season saddle hunting and I really enjoyed it thanks a lot to you and all your videos.

As always, excellent takes and explanations for a variety of methods.

Your videos are so helpful. Much appreciated!

I like the 1/4" am steel and the micro cleat sold at Eastern Woods. Thats a sweet combination. The micro cleat was probably not available when you shot this video. Great content!

Very informative. Learned a lot and really appreciate the video!

Very informative! Good work!

I’ve had good luck with using Amsteel Daisy Chains. If I have a particular place where I feel there is too much of a gap then I fasten the daisy chain using a truckers hitch. Gets the stick very tight to the tree. I also do that for the last stick on the climb since its the one I’m going to be standing on the most as I set up everything else.

“Hope you guys have a great Fall” as he’s talking about methods to hang sticks or platforms to the tree… 😂😂

Great info! Thank you sir!

Great video, really helped me make a decision

Great video. Thank you.

If you use a trucker's hitch with the daisy chains it is rock solid with very little sag.

You can slide the daisy chain up a bit in the back of the tree to take out some slack before setting it, if there's a particular height you want to set it. That halfway sets the stick before even pushing it down further.

Good job

The ultimate attachment made by the amsteel guy.

Are you using the 7/64th daisy chain or the 1/8th? Great video as always!!

Thanks again for a good video. I've found there is no perfect way to get up and down the tree for mobile hunters and there are always pros and cons. Thanks for showing these.

At what length stick do daisy chains start to show some inferiority? I am running 17" Novix. Thank you

At the end , I hope you guys have a great fall. Thanks a lot. SADDLEHUNTER

Any lack in safety using amsteel for rope mods? New to saddle/climbing sticks. What little bit I’ve seen indicates climbing rope is safer because of it’s ability to hold a knot vs amsteel.

one of the best saddle hunting channels on youtube thx for all the info... just added the cam cleat from eastern woods to my hawk mini waiting for the full bury from the amsteel guy. is there a video on the best way to use the rope with a cam cleat thx....had to put the versa button above the cam cleat little worried how that will work.

I have the daisy chains but don’t use the loops. When I make more I will do a full bury 7/64 into 7/64 , 88” long with a bungee cord loop on the end.

I purchased some smaller diameter ropes for my sticks but they do not grip the versa button is there a trick to getting them to not sag

1/4 inch the best diameter for the hawk heliums?

what is the most Quite method to you? and what one do you use the most.

Another great video! Have you tried a Whoopie Daisy?

Can you rope mod with a daisy chain style. 7/64” rope? Or not recommended

Maybe i should change to 1/4 in amsteel mods, i will try one out. Thanks

If you land between loops on the daisy chain and can not tilt the stick sideways. Just twirl your free end with your finger to shorten it up a bit.

Is an 1/8” rope mod ok for my mission platform?

I use the whoopee slings for mine but i put the biggest loop i can and then rape it around the stick. I do like the short looped amsteel exstenders. need to get some ASAP. Thanks Great Video and info.

"I hope you guys have a great fall!" Pun intended?

Sticks are loud pulling down in the bark

Daisychain is the best way to go you’re just not doing it right do you want to go underneath the button come back two or three holes bring your slack through tighten down to where your rope is parallel and then go back to your button

One tip I see NOONE ever do, I can’t stand seeing guys put a stick to a tree and slap their face on it or hold it with their chest than proceed to struggle to get the rope/strap around the tree, to ultimately not even have the stick where they “put” it…so lay the strap/rope over the top step and use the stick as a “pole” and feed it around the back and grab the rope/strap. Then set the stick. Eliminates the face bashing, stick hassle of a time. Simple

Nice
