I’m trying to choose my setup for next deer season, and I was wondering if anyone near West Monroe uses the 2 tether climbing method, or if any of you one stick.

If so, I’d love to meet up to see how these methods work if you’re willing. I’ve only used regular climbing sticks with aiders so far.

Sorry I’m not close but I have used the two tether system and it’s ok not great in my opinion. Standing on a single piece of rope hurts your foot something fierce. I was thinking some kind of stirrup to stand in would make it much more comfortable. It’s hard to beat some light weight sticks with aiders to get some height.

If I go the 2TC route, I’d still use my platform. I’m trying to decide between getting a set of the Tethrd One sticks with a G-C-One moveable aider, or going the 2TC method and rappelling down after.

My current setup are heavy arse sticks (roughly 10 pounds for my set of 3, 3-step sticks) with wire aiders. I walk far in so I sweat something fierce with that.

I'm not near WM, but I've tried the 2 tether system and while it works the same way as a 1 stick, there is some comfort in being able to actually stand on the 1 stick and aiders while climbing.

Too much slipping/pressure with the 2 tether system, especially if you are on a slick tree.

I would recommend 1 stick + 3 step aider if you are just looking for lightweight mobile set up.

I used a “big bob” one stick with 3 step aider last year with a TX5 saddle, it is a lot better than the hawk helium 20” sticks and platform. I am 63 years old and slightly over weight so if I can hunt a one stick comfortably anyone should be able to. Unfortunately I am in BR or I would be glad to let you Try it out,
