    @kirkloos8141 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Why not just supply the system with the extensions or longer daisy chains rather than charging for the extensions when you recommend them for narrow and wide trees which essentially encompasses all trees?

    • @grayskwerel
      @grayskwerel 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      In today's economic environment, the cost of "American Made" is very high. Due to the Sladder Climbing System being a brand new product on the market and having the stigma of an aider, we wanted to make it as affordable as possible so that people would be willing to try it. As you probably already know, Amsteel is quite costly. There is a fiddle factor with the longer daisy chains so we decided on 3.5 foot + the width of the Sladder being 1 foot gives 4.5 foot length. This gives a good variety of trees to climb and is no different than the limits imposed by the use of a Climber System where you are limited to trees with no limbs and with a minimum and maximum diameter. However, with the extensions, you can increase your choices dramatically. The options were to sell it as a set for $265 or sell it separately where you could buy it for $225 and then the extensions are optional. We went with the latter.

  • @billfresh3776
    @billfresh3776 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Interesting concept. I think the only addition I would consider is hooking into my tree tether after the first length of climb. The lineman's belt does not stop a fall necessarily if your feet slip off the tree. With this system I think it is when your feet slip, not if your feet slip or kick out. Eventually you will kick out and a lineman's belt can ride all the way to the ground if you get caught in the transitional point where it is looser. Not criticizing. Again, interesting concept and kind of a cool idea. I just like to be attached to the tree all the way up and down. A tether is a safer option but it may interfere with this system. Just my 2 cents.

    • @grayskwerel
      @grayskwerel 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Hey Kenny, I just received my Sladder by good ole USPS. It's raining lightly, but I couldn't help myself. I added a couple of amsteel extentions because the trees in Missouri can be pretty fat, went out in my back woods, and climbed three moves. I was already using repel method with one-sticking, so I tried up and down with tether (watched the videos). It worked perfectly since I'd already become proficient with an aider on the one-stick. I'm going to love this thing. Well done!

      @grayskwerel 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yes, there are lots of heavy set people using the Sladder. There are also lots of older guys using the Sladder. You just have to figure out what works best for you. Once you figure that out… it’s so easy. I’m 52 and have Psoriatic Arthritis and as you can see in the videos, it’s very easy. Buy the Sladder, pick a straight tree with no limbs like you’d use for a climber, put the Sladder on there and practice. Try the methods I show in the videos until one clicks… that’s your technique… it gets better and better, easier and easier the more you climb with it. It’s 1.8 lbs and packs down small into your pack.

      @@grayskwerel it is heavy for what it is. The biggest issue for me though is the ladder. I often have to reach down to open the toe loops for my foot to go in because of the way it is designed, which can be sketchy. And it is clearly designed for someone taller than me. When I set my next strap for the ladder, I have to either go down a step or skip a step on the ladder when I start the next section of my climb (also sketchy sometimes) because the ladder doesn’t line up with the previous strap the way it’s supposed to (probably hard to visualize, but I don’t know how else to explain it). I just feel like the ladder design could’ve been improved. I am currently waiting on a rock climbing aider (similar to the ladder in your system) that I will replace the AnyTree ladder with. I do agree it is limited on height without adding extra straps or moving a strap up the tree with you (which I haven’t tried). And personally, I can’t comfortably shoot behind me using the straps as a platform as easily as they made it seem, but I feel like that could be a lack of practice. Just by watching a few videos, I feel like all the problems I’m having would be fixed with your system. If this rock climbing aider doesn’t fix the majority of my issues, it’s likely I’ll be making an order from you next year.

      I agree. Product ties in on both top and bottom going up which is nice to see whereas typically one end freely swings but it would be more advantageous to have access to the ground with a long enough tether to then repel from instead and detach the product on the way down. It would also be a bonus if we could tie in while climbing up and had enough clearance to advance the system without relying on a lineman's/flip-line.
