I am 74 years old, You inspire me. I like the way you get the stick up between your legs. That leaning over the side is what discouraged me. I will be using ewo one stick this year. I have been saddle hunting for 4 yrs now. Thanks
@BeMobileOutdoors Thanks, stay moving and you will be saddle hunting well into your 70's. My motto is that if I sit on the couch and don't move, I will rust up!
I really like your method and approach to one sticking. it's safe with the lineman rope quick and simple. The figure 8 is what I will be using this season and the way you run it through the carabiner makes a lot of sense. Thanks for sharing and stay safe.
Благодарю за видео! В одном видео показано всё что нужно, что бы научиться лазить на деревья с минимум снаряжения. И безопасно спускаться на землю! Очень полезно было это увидеть.
My friend you did 2 moves to get to probably 11 feet, not first move to 13 feet. I’ve been one sticking for going on 4 seasons and throughout the off seasons. I stopped using the quick link years ago and have been using a running bowline knot. That eliminates 2 pieces of hardware. It drops to the ground 100 % of the time. You doing double work when you pull out the linesman belt just to do your quick link. I like the video. Sorry to sound so critical but one sticking is a process of constant refining. You aider was waist high, I could never make that stretch in winter gear. I have a 4 step aider. Take care and keep one sticking 👍🦌
@@tomzygmunt6891 when im on a tree with limbs, which is 95% of the trees I hunt, im going to use my linesman regardless of what attachment method I have. Constant refining is a good way of saying it but thats only applicable to the user. I’m all for bettering my system but if what I have works for me, and I like it, then I don’t see an issue. “I could never make that stretch in winter gear”, well you’re not me bud. Sorry you can’t make that stretch but I can and do. Appreciate your opinion tho and good luck to you this season!
I'm 61 and did my first climb to hunt yesterday. Definitely need a couple of side bags and a tether lock. What do you use to hang all your gear when hanging out waiting on Bambi's dad? What i used worked but wasn't very efficient. Looking forward to years of saddle hunting
@@otatime2655 I use a gear strap that has 5 hooks on it. Can’t remember what brand it was but it has plenty of places to hang stuff. Good luck to you this season!
Ok. I tried that but I didn't have full weight on it. I was just standing on the ground. My carabiner kept wanting to turn sideways. I will try it with my full weight on it
What rope and figure 8 are you using, im switching to one sticking and love the figure eight over the other options, im guessing certain size ropes for certain figure 8’s? Just wondering
@@nicvittorio7592 it is rescue tech 8mm and I’m not sure on the brand of the figure 8. I’m also not sure on rope size for different figures 8’s but if I had to guess, it doesn’t matter as long as you use it properly.
I noticed your accender is orange tethered has a recalling some of the orange ones saying teeth are prone to slip. Not sure of the maker but check it out . Be safe buddy..
@@alecbeuhler454 I put this one together from an old muddy pro I had. If you go to eastern woods outdoors you can purchase the complete one stick pretty much exactly like I have in the video.
@@tylerelkins9619 to be honest I didn’t even know that was a thing! lol I just got the tether locker not to long ago. In the video I just did it how I had always done it before I got the flexi ohm. But I’m gonna try that out for sure! Appreciate it man!
@@HRmoto13 it’s an old muddy pro I turned into a one stick. In another comment down below I listed all the components but it’s pretty much exactly like the eastern woods outdoors one stick!
Very well done. I'm an older guy - 72 years old - thinking of getting into this because of the weight. I'm still in good shape but worry about the complexity of it. You explain it slowly and thoughtfully. Best of all, you're not just a mouthpiece for some company. Well done, young man!
@@reddirtadv393 I built my stick out of a muddy pro stick. The platform on top is an eastern woods outdoor ultimate platform (angled) and the standoffs are also from eastern woods outdoors. I also got the harken cam cleat from EWO. The bottom step is from a beast stick I had laying around. So basically it’s a Frankenstein stick but it works awesome for me!
Very dangerous climbing with your bridge above your tether, you started out great with the linesman belt, but did not use it while making the climb, and then put it back on after the climb, had you fallen it would have been in excess of a fall factor 1, a 3 foot fall on 3 foot of slack for a 200 pound person will generate more than 1500 pounds of force, and while our gear will take it our bodies will not. It is NOT uncommon for fall factor 1 falls with static rope to break bones and many times it is the spine. We see climbers take big falls but they use dynamic ropes with up to 30% stretch, and even then they usually pull their belayers right of their feet and into the air to absorb energy created from the fall. Most of the falls we see that climbers have would be fatal on static rope. The ropes we use are static and have no give so your body will take all of it. Please everyone try to keep as much slack out of your tether as possible, and for sure never climb where your attachment point is above your tether. BTW there are a lot of videos on you tube explaining the forces of fall factor 1 and 2 falls on static rope, a fall factor 1 is where your tie in point meets your tether, and a fall factor 2 is where your feet meet your tether. If interested in seeing the force of static line falls search you tube for (hownot2 could you survive this?) Good luck to everyone hunting this year and try and keep the slack from your tethers.
I appreciate your response. I do agree with you that slack is dangerous and understand the dangers of it. With that being said, it is far more dangerous in my opinion to be trying to climb up to my step all while trying to move my tether up. In this case the tree I was climbing has a bunch of limbs which would not have allowed me to move my tether up unless I stopped while still standing on my aider, put my linesman’s belt on, and then moved the tether. To me that is giving me more of a chance to slip up rather than just getting into a secure position on my step where I can then put my linesman’s belt on to move my tether higher. Now if I was on a limbless tree, moving my tether up as I go and minimizing slack is the correct way.

I have watched dozens of videos as I'm getting into one sticking and yours by far is the safest. Great video.
Fkn awesome tutorial! Dood this is BEST 1 stick instruction on youtube. Thank you very much!
Out of all the videos I have seen, this has to be my favorite! Great work!
Daisy chaining your linesman to your saddle is the way I keep mine when I'm done it never comes off.

I like the way u do all of it
Nice demo! To your point, that tree could be hunted in relatively low with all that cover.
Awesome man, SUBBED 💪🏻
I need to pick up a carabiner and the tether locker 😂 also should look into the automatic gear hoist. Pull up bow the pull down rope when done
Great idea's thanks for sharing

@@deadeyedail06 yes I will do another video soon and show all of my gear!
@@BeMobileOutdoors sweet😁 best video I’ve seen on this by far by the way
@@deadeyedail06 thank you!
@@BeMobileOutdoorsI am very interested in your gear list as well. Very slick setup.
@@Mr_Outdoorsmann been pretty busy lately but I’ll try to get one made real soon!
I’m subscribing brotha!
What platform and what aider! I love this setup!!
@@phantomhunter5 it’s an Eastern woods outdoors ultimate angled platform, and an Ape canyon 3 step aider.
What is that tether rope lock is that? Im thinking about switching to the saddle system. This is one system I'm interested in. Thank you
@@VDXOutdoors if you’re referring to the little grey piece then it is an Flexi Ohm tether locker. I got mine from Eastern woods outdoors.
@@BeMobileOutdoors Yes, thank you
That was the first time I've seen an actual use of figure 8. That was very cool. What stick is that?
@@curtwatkins9520 it’s one I put together. A few comments down I listed the components of it.
Good stuff! New sub here looking fwd to new content.
@@richardhill5968 welcome aboard!
How do you adjust the figure 8 onceyou have the half twist and through the carabiner?
@@curtwatkins9520 by pulling up on your tag end of the rope. It will slide right up!

What stick is that?
@@catdaddy40 it’s one I built with an eastern woods outdoors ultimate platform
Just a question but, why not clip your pull down rope inside the pull down loop of your tether locker/ flexi ohm?
@@tylerelkins9619 to be honest I didn’t even know that was a thing! lol I just got the tether locker not to long ago. In the video I just did it how I had always done it before I got the flexi ohm. But I’m gonna try that out for sure! Appreciate it man!
