I’m waiting for mine to ship and they can’t get here soon enough!!! Ordered mine back in Feb so the anticipation is building. I need them for a hunt in late August so getting close. Glad you did video though cuz you showed the full function and something you don’t see in shot show and promo videos. I might be doin some one sticking to but sometimes multi sticks are better option and the weight you can’t beat on these sticks!!!
@@NextStepOutdoors I haven’t done it before either but I was a licensed arborist back in the day so I did some SRT/DRT climbing on the private tree work we did and that’s not a big stretch to one stick. Now I don’t believe I could do the SRT/DRT thing now nor do I think I could it quietly so gonna try the one stick thing. Now I believe this to be an early season/warmer weather thing for me. I live in ME so cold weather is assured during our deer season and I think one sticking is gonna require just a bit more effort for me at least so need multi stick option. Also there are a lot of trees I’m not sure I could one stick even if I wanted to with limbs everywhere and crooked as hell. Also I’ve hunted with a climber foreva and if you do know where your goin or have a preset tree it’s doable but a saddle and one stick for those trees would be even better as it weights 20lbs less!!!!
I am really glad I found your review I wanna order these but was scared not knowing how much foot room I would have I ordered the one sticks and and to sell those did not like how little room I had
I posted another vid talking about all the mods I did to them. After 8 days in the field already, I'm super pumped on them and not sure id change anything.
Can't wait for mine to ship. How are they when stacked for transport? I saw a stacking attachment from Genesis 3D made specifically for these sticks, so I'm considering purchasing if sound is an issue when transporting.
They come with a strap that I think will work well to hold them together while transporting. I've been playing around with just stacking them and use the amsteel rope on the top stick to wrap up the rest of them. It has worked really well and that way I don't need any additional straps, etc.
I appreciate you saying that. The video I made was based off of the original directions they had at ATA in the spring. They must have changed it right after I made this video.
Had a single step also xop it was not ok for me I returned them and git skeletors. Cool review just wish they were four packs so I can justify buying.WI
I have 4 if these sticks. I feel that the size and weight are perfect. I still don’t like hanging system. Latitude needs to produce a gen 2 with tabs big/strong enough to use this system or Amsteel daisy chains.
I didn't have any issues. Rarely do I ever use a flashlight going up or down in the dark (do this at your own discretion) but I don't foresee having any problems even in real low light. Was running a versaaider before which was a little more tricky and still didn't have issues.
No flex for me. I weigh 220lb. Attachment method was a nice change from the Amstels daisy chains I had been running on previous sticks. Seemed to bite well even on some goofy trees. So far so good.
I know they are rated to 275lb and are third party tested. The 5 year warranty they offer shows how confident they are in the materials and design for these.
I've tried on a handful of different trees and sizes including some weird curvy ones and they did well. Have not tried them in the rain yet but expect them to bite solid still.
You can definitely grab the steps. There's just not a ton of room to wrap your hand all the way around it if that's what you meant due to the way the standoff is designed. You can grab the post tho too.
@@NextStepOutdoors damn, that’s a massive difference. I’ll have to look into them! I went scouting with my saddle and sticks last week to finalize what trees to sit and by the end I was dragging ass.
This was the first time I climbed with them and just hooked them to a tiny caribeaner on my right hip with the amsteal connecting to one of the cleats. It worked really well but I am going to play around with a few other things. With other sticks I usually make a little loop of 1/8" bunjee shock cord and have one on each stick and hook that to my caribeaner. I'll make another video here soon showing how I mod them out to fit my system best.
Alright stand-off distance is about 4" and the steps are 9" wide. Good call on the weight. I'll make a video with how I mod them and include that with/without stealth strips.
@@NextStepOutdoors I wish that was something I knew but we will have to just wait an see brobro.🦌🏹3D printers are definitely cheaper than they ever been an more user-friendly than the past machines. XD
GET THE CARBON SS STICKS HERE: bit.ly/3Op4S0V
Can’t wait to get mine
You’re gonna love them!
Good review. I wasn't planning on upgrading anything this season but I really dig how flat they stack together. Might be reconsidering...
Ya, I'm pretty stoked with how well they pack up. Excited to run them this fall!

You're going to love them. I haven't done any one sticking so you'll have to let me know how that works out!

Thank you for doing the tape measurer ....

Just got mine last week. I think I am really going to like them once I get them Stealth Stripped.

Just fyi, the instructions from Latitude want you to cinch both right and left sides after running the figure 8

I love the attachment method. Not much would change at all.
You weren’t joking about the fire ants!
Nice video... I like the sticks. Do you have an FAA Part 107 or are you a pilot?
Neither
What are you using to attach them to your saddle?
I explain that in this video if you’d like a visual ua-cam.com/video/K4VCCTR2qJ0/v-deo.htmlsi=1tdunkfx13Cb-yNG
I wonder what the usable life of those sticks are?
I wish I could use them but only 275 lbs rated
Dang son
@@NextStepOutdoors only 255 but with all my gear on too heavy
Can anyone tell me how these compare to Gen 3 One stix????
How was it coming down the tree? Were you able to get into the aider without any issues? Wondering how it would be coming down at night.
I didn't have any issues. Rarely do I ever use a flashlight going up or down in the dark (do this at your own discretion) but I don't foresee having any problems even in real low light. Was running a versaaider before which was a little more tricky and still didn't have issues.
@@NextStepOutdoors appreciate it!
@@MoldingLegends no problem!!
How did they feel in the tree? Any flex?
No flex for me. I weigh 220lb. Attachment method was a nice change from the Amstels daisy chains I had been running on previous sticks. Seemed to bite well even on some goofy trees. So far so good.
@@NextStepOutdoors Awesome. Im a bigger guy so im on the edge of getting them or not. Not sure about carbon products that bear weight.
I know they are rated to 275lb and are third party tested. The 5 year warranty they offer shows how confident they are in the materials and design for these.
Wow nice bunnies at 0:03
I still got it...even with those swampers on
Have you tried them on different types of trees? How well do they bite?
I've tried on a handful of different trees and sizes including some weird curvy ones and they did well. Have not tried them in the rain yet but expect them to bite solid still.
Do you think you’ll have to push stealth strips on them to make more quiet
Yeah, I do that on all my gear regardless.
Is there any room to grab ahold of the step while climbing up/down?
You can definitely grab the steps. There's just not a ton of room to wrap your hand all the way around it if that's what you meant due to the way the standoff is designed. You can grab the post tho too.
How much do these weigh vs say hawk helium minis? I’m always looking to lighten my set up, especially for getting to spots deep into public.
They are much lighter. A hair under 1.2lb compared to 2.5lbs for the hawks.
@@NextStepOutdoors damn, that’s a massive difference. I’ll have to look into them! I went scouting with my saddle and sticks last week to finalize what trees to sit and by the end I was dragging ass.
How much do you weigh? Are these as strong as the last version?
These are brand new. To my knowledge there isn't a previous version. I'm 220# tho and they were rock solid.
How are you attaching them to your saddle while climbing?
This was the first time I climbed with them and just hooked them to a tiny caribeaner on my right hip with the amsteal connecting to one of the cleats.

Hair ties work
What is the stand-off distance. Looking at these and Tethrd one sticks.
I'll measure tomorrow and let you know.
@@NextStepOutdoors would also like to see a weight video as well and a weight with stealth striping
Alright stand-off distance is about 4" and the steps are 9" wide. Good call on the weight. I'll make a video with how I mod them and include that with/without stealth strips.
Will these sticks be compatible with a lwcg 1.0 stand?
They pack super nice so I'm sure they will compliment a 1.0 well.
You didn’t attach them correctly
I was basing off of their original videos from ATA and they must have updated it after the fact.
Hope he has tick spray on lol
Always…
They going to clone tf outta this 3D printed looking stick.
who is!?
@@NextStepOutdoors I wish that was something I knew but we will have to just wait an see brobro.🦌🏹3D printers are definitely cheaper than they ever been an more user-friendly than the past machines. XD
Way too noisy.
I'm going to stealth strip them for sure. I do for all my sticks/platforms.
I canceled my order I doubt they will ever ship lol. Sticking with lone wolf.
Launching new products is a huge process. I recall LW going through something similar when they launched theirs.
