Nice ladder leg lock 😂👨🏻🚒. Not sure if I will do this ! Rope rescue 101. Tie a lot in a knot. 😂. Your giving all the best safety tips. . Men and women trust your life to his info .. I have ! Good work !
Great video, hope you get lots more subscribers, you deserve it! And you have the best outdoor channel name ever, you can tell you have a good sense of humor - this system would help me in scouting, to be able to go deep into the woods without hauling a lot of junk, and get high in a tree to be able to view the surrounding area for spotting deer movement, then i could come back and hunt closer to the right spot once i've seen where the deer are traveling (maybe one day i'll be good enough to do that just looking for ground sign, but i'm not there yet)
This was great! Thanks for the link from the short! I finally understand one sticking now. I’m basically a climbing accident waiting to happen, so not for me
You are a great teacher. I been wanting to get into one sticking and probably would make one of the safety mistakes you mentioned if if you hadn't warned! Thank you.
Thanks for the videos brother. I subscribed to this channel simply because you are excellent at explaining this for new saddle guys. What size repel rod?
Great video! A lot of very useful one sticking information. I'm going to give one sticking a shot next year. I'm genuinely interested in having it as another tool to hunt with.
I find it way easier to one stick. I hate dicking around at the tree setting up and getting 3 sticks ready then at the end take them all down. I did that for my first year, and then one sticked ever since.
Great video! Can you reply or add to the description the names of each product/mod? Rope pouch? What diameter Amsteel, Name of 2 step rig below the API sticks. Would be helpful, thanks!
I was worried about switching to one sticking, being a bigger guy (260) but I find it incredibly easy. People never understand how you climb while filming is a bit different than a hunting situation.
It takes a little physical ability but not much at all. If people struggle, just don't move your rappel rope up so high so it makes it easier bending down and grabbing your stick to move it up.
@@dickoutdoors yep, I didn’t find it to be physically more challenging than just traditional climbing. I realized once I started really trusting my gear, that things became significantly easier.
When you pull with the small attached rope, the main rope will fall till it hits the branch. Then just keep pulling and you will pull the loop end until the loose end pulls through the loop or carabiner end of the the rope.
In your video, you mention using a D-Link or Tri-Link. Im familiar with the replace a link that I believe your are calling the D-link but I have googled and googled Tri-Link and can not find the first anything on even identifying it using a ton of other helpful words.... I tried Dlink vs TriLink and gave up on D-Link because the results are only for a router and "Tri" xxxx pulls up nothing in the climbing realm. Pleas post photo, link or other description. Great video. TIA
Thanks for watching. This is the other link I was talking about m.petzl.com/US/EN/Professional/Connectors/DELTA people also use these but I don't see spending the extra money www.treestuff.com/notch-v3-quickie/ Definitely don't use a regular carabiner even if you see other people doing it.
@@dickoutdoors Not to be a technical PITA, what size quick link? They have this at Home Depot www.homedepot.com/p/Everbilt-5-16-in-Stainless-Steel-Quick-Link-43404/205887496 Im just trying to avoid unexpected gravity sickness. Maybe you could open an amazon thing where you get credit for link purchases or otherwise post links to your gear. Great videos, you should get addl credit for taking the time to video and share.
The saddle has to be worn over your clothes. The suspenders you can wear over or under your jacket. They also come off. Tethrd gives plenty of extra length in all the straps to be worn over anything you wear
This is the one I use. doublesteps.com/product/ultimaider/ You can adjust both steps the exact same distance as your climbing stick. So while climbing it feels more natural
That's definitely the weak link in all of this. On mine I upgraded the hardware to a stronger grade nut and bolt. I wouldn't trust the ones it came with.
If you keep pulling the paracord, it will pull the entire rope through the d link even if branches stop it. So no matter what, the rope always comes down.
Obviously in the northeast we have different trees as opposed to some of the other types you mentioned. With a little more time it can be done safely though. ruclips.net/user/shortsq5ozgAWlZrM?feature=share
@@haleycbrrrclimbing with a 2 action carabiner, trusting your whole weight on a single carabiner attached to your tree is just absurd. Throw a life line up a tree and tie a friction hitch that when when not of you fall you won’t die
@@jaydenfeese7373I weigh 260 and use this carabiner to hold my weight almost every day in a tree. I’ve never had or heard of an issue with one of those while saddle hunting.
🤣 That would be an easy fix. Just rappel down and get whatever your drop. The real problem would be if you ever rappel down and looked up and realize you forgot your stick at the top of the tree with no way to get back up and get it 🤣🤣
I’m sorry but that’s a lot of movement especially trying to get close to a buck bed. I just don’t understand carry two more sticks. you’ll be surprised how low you could hunt and still kill mature deer especially because a lot of the mature deer like to hang out in areas with the little tiny trees ! get up there where the first cover is and you’re set! As long as you got some cover you would be surprised how low you could actually hunt and still kill deer! Believe me I used to be one of them guys that had to hunt 20 to 25 feet now I look for the first cover and that’s where I’m at. If you give it a try I willing to bet you’ll be pleasantly surprised
Ya it’s just another tool!!! Get good at one sticking and it’s just as quiet as multiple sticks. Perfect your system and all things can work for your needs.
Already made a video about that for people like you!! Sorry, I hunt the Northeast, and it's primarily trees that are straight and have no branches ruclips.net/video/ZAyaATsRlcA/видео.html

Awesome video where do you buy a repile rope and what brand?

When you pull with the small attached rope, the main rope will fall till it hits the branch. Then just keep pulling and you will pull the loop end until the loose end pulls through the loop or carabiner end of the the rope.
Can you use a figure 8 retrace for your d link knot instead of the poachers?
What is the needed things to start doing one stick? Rope, madrock?
A quick click for the rope and a Harken camcleat, then you'll be good to go.
THE FACE OF SADDLE HUNTING!!!! MARRY ME BROTHA!!!!! hahaha
I've been waiting for this moment my whole life!!! Just name a time and place hahaha the real life Chuck and Larry 🤣
@@dickoutdoors hahaha doe patrol mission together soon?
Once up the tree do you tether in or do you just rock with the repel rope the entire time?

This is kool! But definitely not for us heavier set guys... lol
Great for slimmer slinky guys...
I know some bigger people one sticking. It can be done but I'm sure more of a challenge
A question for all the new tetherd lockdown users. Do you wear this over or under your heavy weight clothes come late season?
The saddle has to be worn over your clothes. The suspenders you can wear over or under your jacket. They also come off. Tethrd gives plenty of extra length in all the straps to be worn over anything you wear
Nice setup man. How did you attach the harken cam cleat?
Just drilled 2 holes through my stick using the template they send with it
How do you get the repel rope down if the tree has branches?
This should answer your question 🤙 ruclips.net/video/ZAyaATsRlcA/видео.html
Is it difficult to do this without a rappel rope and climb down the same way you got up?
Already have a saddle and sticks, what is needed to one stick?
A rappel rope, quick link for the rappel rope, and a way to rappel down so a madrock or something similar. Then you'll be ready to go.
So you are basically using your rappel rope as your tether and it’s just as safe? Great video 👍🏼
Correct!! I still carry a tether in order to get around branches if I need to
@@dickoutdoors Awesome. I’m going to give this a try for my set up. Thanks for the great info.
Safer since you have quick access to the ground in case of an emergency
What size is the top pouch? On tethrd’s website they have M, L, XL. Do you know what yours is?
Where can I buy that rope ladder attached to your stick?
This is the one I use. doublesteps.com/product/ultimaider/ You can adjust both steps the exact same distance as your climbing stick. So while climbing it feels more natural
What size is your rope pouch?
It's built into the saddle. It's huge
On their website it says the molle pouches come in S,M, & L is the reason I asked
Where do you get your 30 foot rope from?
I actually just answered your post on fb lol I got mine from New England Ropes
@@dickoutdoors thanks man!
is that the canyon or oplux rope?
Anyone know what aider that is?
How safe is the cam cleat?
That's definitely the weak link in all of this. On mine I upgraded the hardware to a stronger grade nut and bolt. I wouldn't trust the ones it came with.
How do you get your rope down if there’s limbs on the tree?
If you keep pulling the paracord, it will pull the entire rope through the d link even if branches stop it. So no matter what, the rope always comes down.
Not if you’ve got a safety knot at the end of your rappelling rope. Hopefully you’re not climbing that high, but your knot won’t pass through.
Interesting system
Though sliding up a nice smooth oak makes this "easy."
Now, use this on a Douglas Fir, Western Pine, or any Western evergreen.
Obviously in the northeast we have different trees as opposed to some of the other types you mentioned. With a little more time it can be done safely though. ruclips.net/user/shortsq5ozgAWlZrM?feature=share
Cool concept but I’ll just walk to my ladder stand lol.
Not made for that lol this is a public or moving spots set up
I mean that isn't a bad option either🤣 Maybe someday I'll have to land to do that!!
Right the munter. Genius. But figure 8s cost around $20. You know?
My friend a quick link is a waist of time . Learn to use a running bowline or similar knot and throw away the quick link. Nice saddle 👍
Thanks I'll look into it. I think that might be a little to much friction for getting my rope down after though
As a person who climbs trees for a living I pray people don’t do this
Can you explain why
Also wondering why??
@@haleycbrrrclimbing with a 2 action carabiner, trusting your whole weight on a single carabiner attached to your tree is just absurd. Throw a life line up a tree and tie a friction hitch that when when not of you fall you won’t die
Are you a monkey?

I drop things too easily to do this safely. I'd lose my stick third step up and be chillin 😂 like an idiot
🤣 That would be an easy fix. Just rappel down and get whatever your drop. The real problem would be if you ever rappel down and looked up and realize you forgot your stick at the top of the tree with no way to get back up and get it 🤣🤣

To each their own. Just as much movement climbing a tree and setting up multiple sticks. Also the amount of noise multiple sticks make
Ya it’s just another tool!!! Get good at one sticking and it’s just as quiet as multiple sticks. Perfect your system and all things can work for your needs.
Nice to be young!..😂
No thanks. Id like to you try this on a tree thats not as perfectly straight as a telephone pole.
Already made a video about that for people like you!! Sorry, I hunt the Northeast, and it's primarily trees that are straight and have no branches ruclips.net/video/ZAyaATsRlcA/видео.html
Screw that. Too complicated too much work
It literally can't be any easier 🤣 How do you climb trees to hunt?
Try it once and you won't say that
