One thing I would also incorporate is a lazy tether between the platform and my harness. You wouldn't want to watch you platform slide down the tree and get separated. I even incorporate this on my 2 piece climber. Accidents do happen and it's an easy solution.
The guy with the climber platform made more noise than my 8 yr old jacked up on redbull in room full of every device known to man that makes any kind of noise!
Yeah, I've never understood an emphasis on speed when setting up to hunt. I don't what method you're using. Regardless of your climbing equipment/method, just take your time and do it safely. As the old saying goes... "slow is smooth. smooth is fast"
I like the efficiency of it. Just fewer parts. Makes sense for a mid day setup but an all day setup where you might want to get down and stretch your legs, sticks make sense.
Ive gotten really good at hunting off the ground but it sure is easier shooting unnoticed out of a tree. Thanks for sharing. Can never have too many tools.
Great video. The stick guy did seem to be moving really slow but that’s ok. I still think the climbing platform would have won despite the added noise. Thanks for sharing
Nice fair comparison video, and honesty about sticks, but the noise is a deal breaker for me. I can get to 25 feet in 3 minutes with 2TC, and not make any metallic noises.
Looked like y'all were having fun. Man its so funny I just posted (a couple hours before this one) a video on climbing with a climbing platform using the S.M.A.R.T. method. Title is (Climbing Platform??) I think the Quick Climber is going to get more climbing stand hunters into saddle hunting. Neat the way Greg drops the line down for Seth to go up on. Cool video keep it up.
Someone please design and manufacture a small climber that both top and bottom sections fold in half that then unfold once you get to the tree you’re going to climb. A stand that meshes together perfectly flat, that weighs close to 5 pounds with silent rubber cables that can fit around average sized trees, has comfortable backpack straps, is silent and doesn’t squeak. Have a couple “knobs or attachment points “ where the stand can be attached to any backpack using a lashing strap or a couple of those rubber coated wire twists. Then once at hunting height the backpack, quiver, etc can be secured to the top climber portion using the same twists or buckle straps on the knobs or attachment points. Weight capacity of 350 pounds and costs $200 - $250 bucks. This set up, in my opinion, would be a game changer in mobile hunting. No sticks, no saddle, no extra equipment to maintain. I believe at that price range this stand would blow everything else out of the water. I think if solidly built and sold in quantity it would make someone a tremendous amount of money. Don’t get me wrong the LWCG crossover climber is awesome looking and it appears to work great but at $1000 the average hunter cannot afford it. There’s a certain target demographic that can justify buying it but the majority of hunters, in my humble opinion, can’t.
How well can you get around limbs with that? I switched from a Lone Wolf hand climber to a saddle because it severely limited the trees I could set up in.
This is a cool setup, I worry about trees that taper a lot. I ordered something last year from barren ridge that was kinda similar and that was the issue for me. No matter what tree, there was adjustments needed at the top. It is a great idea. And eventually they will or someone will make it better than it is now. I also moved on from my hand climber, added a lwcg .5 and a saddle setup so I can hybrid hunt. A lot more realistic for what I’m looking for. I know this will be great for some and bad for others. It’s just another tool that can be used. I may pick one up to try it out.
Yeah I like a 5 step aider on it because it gets you away from the bottom of the tree and the platform is more likely to be close to that setup when at hunting night
Like the idea of it but speed isn’t a concern for me. I switched from one stick to sticks and a platform because it is quieter. Will likely sell the one stick and get one of these for rifle season when I’m setting up farther from the deer
Ever heard the old saying "slow and steady wins the race" ? Just Saturday while mid climb with my sticks I had 4 does come across and was able to swing over enough to put the tree between me and the does and not get seen. I'm sure you could finagle that with a platform too but I know with my old summit climber I would of been busted because your on opposite sides of the tree.
I understand this was a timed event but I also don't see gore going slower would be any quieter. The climbing portion isn't controlled enough and just too loud. I love the concept but at less than 3 more lbs I can carry and climb as quick if not quicker and for sure a lot quieter with my summit.
Yeah, climbs fast on stripped trunks, but its noisy. I'll take another pound or two and sticks any day over the climber. Stick guy can climb easily around branches and knots, climb down any time to go take a remote leak, eat, take a mid-day break, go back to the truck if he forgot something and still have his rig sitting there on the tree ready to climb again, silently. So, this rig is pretty much useless in deep brush and on public land. Neat idea in a small number of circumstances, but certainly not a 'game changer'.
I find having something underneath me all the time is comforting and less chance for something to go wrong. But i don’t one stick personally. I have tried it and don’t like using the aider that high up
Too much noise and its even windy. Saddle hunting for me is gnarly trees that i can blend in to. I think i stand out too much on naked trunk of tree. Also i dont need the height with traditional longbow so i have better shot angle. If thats your typical tree in your area then i say probably descent set-up.
People say we’re too loud, so we show a video of making zero noise then we’re too slow so we show going fast then we’re too loud lol. They say we can’t go around limbs so we show that then they say it’s too much fiddle factor so we show how simple it is 😂😂
The stick climber is slow. Not sure if that is intentional for the video. But your climber platform is slick. Definitely a lot of noise in this video but again you said because you are going fast. I hunt from a jx3 so two sticks with three step aiders is all I need.
The man with the sticks is extremely slow. Did you cam down immediately when reaching the top? It was hard to see from the video. It would be interesting to see a more realistic silent climb with someone who is more proficient with climbing sticks and or a one stick. A true exhibition climb has to be in an assumed scenario of dead silent woods in the dark with the hunter in complete stealth mode. Speed definitely takes a second place to stealth. Thanks for the video.
Dude with the sticks has to make the platform guys look better for the show. To sell more product. Not to take away from the platform it very good piece of equipment and efficient and faster.
cool...straight tree with no limbs...severely limited on trees. Stick dude is the slowest man on earth does he know there is such thing as time and that he was being put against it?
@@ggcoutdoors Thats ridiculous. You can buy a summit Or hawk climbing tree stand and just use the base for almost half that. Even a fraction of the cost if you find a good climber at a pawn shop.
@@tanker1861 truth be told a conventional climber bottom or top is not designed for this application. I understand you think the cost is high and that’s fine, our system is not for you. I’m just glad I have one lol
@@Pantherplatforms Not designed for this application!? It's the same danged thing. I've been using a climber bottom for well over four years now with my saddle. No issues. Your system doesn't introduce anything revolutionary that a conventional climber bottom doesn't have except for the fact that it changed the way people think about getting up a tree and using what tools they already have.
Marketing and "THE LATEST AND GREATEST" in the hunting industry is hilarious. The "saddle" is 100% proof of that 😂. I'll take my 13lb climbing stand and 2 straps, quick move tether and be in the tree in 8 minutes, COMFY, take a nap before daylight, while y'all are out here with climbing sticks, 17 ropes and carabiners swinging around uncomfortably. Come on, get real.
There is no way all that stuff yall got is scent free too much noise you want your back against the tree not two feet from the tree no way all the deer is coming in where the tree is between the deer and you if you can’t come down in the dark and put all stuff up you know that big boy moves at sundown good luck fellas
Check out our hunting video we killed 2 good bucks on public land this year using the quick climber and it does work. You can be quite and stealthy with it if you take your time
Neat concept but…..poor example from both traditional and quick climber. Here’s why: 1. The guy climbing with sticks is either purposely moving really slow, has too many fiddle factors, or just doesn’t know what he’s doing. Seems staged, like the democrats. 2. No one doubts the speed of a climber to slide along moving up the tree; however, the climber will never be as stable as a traditional saddle platform especially standing/bracing at extreme angles on the left and right edges of that platform. 3. My platform is attached to my 3rd stick and use the same aider as I go. I’m very light without a separate platform and no need for a 4th stick. 4. While we all want to get into position as quickly as possible, safety is the key. The video doesn’t show the hunter stabilizing the quick climber nor standing on it at the edges to show stability.
One thing I would also incorporate is a lazy tether between the platform and my harness. You wouldn't want to watch you platform slide down the tree and get separated. I even incorporate this on my 2 piece climber. Accidents do happen and it's an easy solution.
Great thing is you can just repel down if that happens
The guy with the climber platform made more noise than my 8 yr old jacked up on redbull in room full of every device known to man that makes any kind of noise!
Sticks guy is obviously taking his time intentionally but I still wanna try that climber out
Why is everyone so hooked on speed. Slow and steady is safer and less noise.
Yeah, I've never understood an emphasis on speed when setting up to hunt. I don't what method you're using. Regardless of your climbing equipment/method, just take your time and do it safely. As the old saying goes... "slow is smooth. smooth is fast"
@@bluecreekroadI agree. I’d rather be quiet than super fast.
I like the efficiency of it. Just fewer parts. Makes sense for a mid day setup but an all day setup where you might want to get down and stretch your legs, sticks make sense.
People these days want to press a button and end up in a perfect tree.
Slow and steady takes too long and too much effort. Duh
I can't wait for this system to be available. I know the phrase "game changer" gets used alot but this thing truly is! And local guys to boot
Absolutely
Looks like SRT with a climbing platform. I thought about doing this with my cruzr saddle and summit climber. Looks sweet for sure.
Ive gotten really good at hunting off the ground but it sure is easier shooting unnoticed out of a tree. Thanks for sharing. Can never have too many tools.
Agreed

I can’t wait till I get my set up.
It’s well worth the money

We can go around limbs fairly easily. We have a video showing that on our channel. Check us out!!!

That is nice.
stick is a lot quieter, you can tell he's going slower, and if the tree had branches lower the guys using the platform climbers would be slower.
Could you do o timed climb with the 1-sticking method?
Yes we can, if we can find someone who is very efficient at one sticking!!!
I find having something underneath me all the time is comforting and less chance for something to go wrong. But i don’t one stick personally. I have tried it and don’t like using the aider that high up
I would do it again with someone efficient with sticks then. If I took that long to get on first stick I would quit hunting period.
I do it my video (CLIMBING PLATFORM??)
Too much noise and its even windy. Saddle hunting for me is gnarly trees that i can blend in to. I think i stand out too much on naked trunk of tree.

It’s one of those things you really need to experience for yourself if all possible but I had all those same concerns until I tried one.

Great video..How much does the quick climber weigh by its self
Around 5 lb or so
Where do you get one of these without stealing, a hand climber
What’s wrong with aluminum climbing stands?
That’s exactly what I thought, I bet I could take my old climber up and down either of those trees faster than both of those setups
Only thing about that is they don’t lock to the tree with a center post and aluminum creeks
lots of noise with the climbing platform. Great idea though.
Dude with the sticks has to make the platform guys look better for the show. To sell more product. Not to take away from the platform it very good piece of equipment and efficient and faster.
Why do you need the dangly ladder hanging down? Can’t you just start with the platform at the bottom?
Technically you could. The aider would just help get up past the base of a tree.
What happens if your bottom stand falls ,,,,,,,
You get saved by the tether that’s always hook to the tree
I like the idea but the range in tree size kills it for me. Needs to be able to go around trees bigger than 15".
They do sale a bigger band for that reason
Try it in a straight tree!
Stick guy is clearly draggin ass but at least I still ain’t heard him yet. I’ll take silent and 10 minutes to set up over noisy and 2.
Hmm… I could only hear one going up.
It’s quite in real hunting situations
cool...straight tree with no limbs...severely limited on trees. Stick dude is the slowest man on earth does he know there is such thing as time and that he was being put against it?
I want one, but can’t justify that steep price. I get tooling and start up, but it’s just not realistic.
Can we get it to climb quiet please
I will do a video of being quiet in a real hunting scenario
@@ggcoutdoors sweet cause it looks awesome

Way to loud for me
Speed doesn't matter when you make enough noise to scare everything off I'm not interested
This was just a speed test but you can be very quiet with this setup as well
Dragging it up the tree just makes a racket. Way way too loud. Others I’ve seen guys swing it out away from the tree. Much quieter
Don’t know why he made all that noise. I climb with mine quietly the same way I did for years with my two-part climbers.
Unbelievable how noisy that platform is!!
Watch our latest video it’s much quieter
$400 is a bit much

Get a realistic stick climber to try. Those guys are being slow on purpose
I am not the fastest but trust me the climber is lightning fast and it really shines at the end of the hunt when it’s time to go home
Too much sugar for a dime

Neat concept but…..poor example from both traditional and quick climber. Here’s why:

When you get up to hunting hight you lock in the bottom of it
