Nice Video. I love my H2 Saddle. Glad to see you didn't edit out the fact that you forgot your retrieval line. Only suggestion that I have is to climb with your rappel rope. That way you always will have a direct route to the ground should something go wrong when your climbing.
I hunted one stick for a season and hated it until I realized that I was trying to put my stick too high and had to bend down too far to get my stick to move it up. Once I shortened the distance of the stick on the moves, I loved it! Only way to go for me now. Great video.
I’m new to one stick / rappelling as well. Did it last season here in South Florida. A couple of things I’d be concerned about.
1. If you accidentally drop your rappel rope when you are transitioning to it, you’re stuck. Getting down will be a pain in the neck.
2. If you are climbing with your short tether and the cam cleat comes undone and you lose the stick, you’re stuck. You can put your rappel line on but you’ll probably have to untie the knot in your tether to slide off it or cut it. Then transition to the rappel line.
I climb with my rappel line so I always have an escape to ground if I lose my stick or if something goes wrong. I used a quick link last year but am trying the JRB Cinch method this coming season. Along with an auto block and a mammut smart 2.0.
Something to think about. Happy hunting.
Ive been using three sticks with aiders and it's definitely harder than just using a climber. I'll have to try this because I do like the comfort and versatility of being in a saddle
For sure! The biggest advantage to me was the versatility and hunting from whatever height I needed to be at. Using multiple sticks, you are more limited.
Thanks for a very informative video. I’m still considering a saddle. Also most videos don’t show folks going over a few feet from the ground. You going to hunting height and descending is awesome!
Thanks!
I’d like to see a deer hunt scouting video. It would be helpful to show a couple of new hunters I’m mentoring. Thanks again!
We will probably do some once the season gets alittle closer 👍 thanks for the input!
Awesome thanks looking to start saddle hunting thanks in advance 🙏🏽
This helped me a lot. Good job!
While i understand trying to stay as budget minded as possible safety should still be the top priority. That ropeman is a rope capture device not meant for fall arrest. With all that slack you leave in your tether if your stick were to fall out there is a good chance that ropeman will fail. You can pick up a madrock or vergo for $100 or less and its suited for the application you are using it for. It also offers the advantage of climbing with your rappel rope so if something were to happen you wouldnt have to do anything to self rescue.
Thanks for the info. I’ve experimented with climbing with the rappel rope and wasn’t a fan of it. I’ll keep experimenting with ways to reduce slack in my tether. Thanks for watching.
@@thomascindy8915 thank you for the videos👍
After taking your feed back into consideration and doing a little research, I have now decided to back up my rope man with a 6mm prusik above it. I tried it out and it’s going to work great. Thinks again for the input! Safety is definitely number 1 👍
@thomascindy8915 Fantastic! Coming home safe after the hunt is the most important thing!
Great video, and nice house too
Thanks Kenny!
Ok so how do you get down if you drop your 1 stick as your taking loose from the tree to move it up?
Hey Brother, just a thought. The whole point of one sticking is obviously weight reduction , and safety.
-
You are ascending the tree with a 9 foot tree tether. Lets say you get up to 15 feet and want to get to 20 feet. You make your next move by getting your stick and then you accidently drop it.
There are 3 things that will happen.
Option 1. you will be stuck in the tree with no way down because you have no belay device or the rope length to do so. You call an emergency service, and they extract you from the tree
-
Option 2 . You accidently drop your stick, and your phone is dead. But thank goodness you have a knife. You cut your bridge, and you bear hug the tree all the way down to the ground . Or you try to bear hug the tree and accidently fall and break a leg. You crawl out of the woods and make it home alive. Again, no belay device of sufficient amount of rope.
Option 3. You drop your stick on accident, your phone is dead, and you have no knife. You are a dead man hanging without suffecient amount of rope or belay device.
-
Im sure you done it this way 1000 times, but all it takes is one time you dropping that stick with your set up and you run the risk of dying.

Just say fuck it and get the 40 feet of 3/8 rope with a Mad Rock Safeguard or a Petzl Gri Gri.
I honestly just recently switched to climbing with my rappel rope. I had an escape plan with additional rope incase that scenario were to happen (foot loop step to transition from tether line to rappel line) but taking safety and simplicity into consideration, I switched 👍
@thomascindy8915 good ! Way more fun as well with rappelling
Do you have a video of how to install the cam cleat onto the climbing stick?
Not currently but I plan on making one in the near future 👍
Climb any tree, with JRB, tree climbing! Check him out!
Be safe, good hunting, and have a great day!
