A few days ago I was watching a video of yours showing several different gadgets & techniques to hold your climbing sticks while assending a tree. Im having a hard time locating it again. Can you please tell me which video it was? Thanks
Use the amsteel daisy chain , go around the sticks button then pick a loop pull your amsteel thru it to make it a truckers hitch, bring it back around the button and tie it down.
Switched from traditional cam buckles to daisy chains 2 years ago and wont go back. IMO dc’s are lightest, quietest, and most packable. Intrigued by the prusik knot amsteel ropes…
Tried daisy chain strap material that came with Hawk Helium sticks. Didn't like it, they tend to bounce up and loosen....sometimes. Went back to what I know, cam buckle straps. They just work, period. Cover buckle with yak grip or silencing tape, you'll be good to go. If that tiny amount of "weight" breaks your back or keeps you from going that half mile extra, you need one of 2 things. Either GROW A PAIR or GET IN THE GYM.
I run the daisy chain using the one stick method using one X2 stick. Then I use both buckles that come with the Cold World to attach to the tree. Kind of a hybrid style if you will. Can get up to 30+ feet if I need to If I'm on the side of a steep hill. Or as low as I need to.
I use and EWO one stick. The cam cleat is simple to insert and remove for the next move. How does a daisy chain come off when taking the stick off to reposition?
I can do it pretty easily. I pull up on the stick which loosens the daisy chain, then I take one end of the daisy chain loop off the button. I actually can do it one handed. I should make a video on that.
Daisy chain truckers hitch. Latitude has a great video showing how to do that and it is much more secure to me than just picking one of the closest loops

Call me old school but I run buckles. Sometimes we get too carried away with weight.
That can be true
Can you give the link for that first green strap?
Buckle. But you raised an eyebrow with the Amsteel prusik knot.
