SRT is King when it comes to saddle hunting. See (One Stixing like a Boss) to see how I use 2 smaller poles to push the rope up as I go. Throw bag with string, in the woods, SUX! You got that beat for sure! New Sub.
If I dont want to modify an ascender, would a CT Quick Roll be the same thing? Why do you want to cut the handle off? Also curious what the difference is between GriGri 2 and GriGri+. I'm trying to put my first climbing setup together. Thank you.
I like the look of those dump pouches. What are they? I use the tethered SYS Haulers and they are sizable and collapse nicely but sometimes it would be nice to have a pouch that stays open when you're trying to load your ropes.
I much prefer putting the line in the tree with a throw weight and line... quite and less bulk. Then leave a throw line rope in the tree if you like the location at the end of the day. Next time you come out. No need to reset your line.
Hey :) I live in Sweden so where I bought everything won't help you Im afraid but I use a GRIGRI 2, the ascender you can buy on eBay/amazon it has a pulley mounted on the outside and the handle is cut off. Look for the the 18" pole on a site for window cleaning.
I take the stick up the tree when hunting. Often times the lines ar pre set then the stick isn't a problem. It happens that I want to change the rope to another location when I'm in the tree. Then having the stick with you is very convenient.
I appreciate the video very much. I will be doing pretty much the same rig. Not a criticism of you but a concern I have: there is a lot of metal and the clanks, although not coming through very loud on the video, would, I suspect, carry quite a distance in the predawn still of a woodlot when there isn't wind. Anybody with thoughts on that?
Your video was well done. If you would want to do one on quieting the gear that may be helpful. My climbing gear has not arrived yet, but from other videos it seems the grigri is fairly clunky. I would welcome any ideas. Thanks! And nice shooting!
I have the same concern and have it down to just the belay device and carabiner. The extra biner on the hand ascender is really handy (or a micro pulley), but I don't use it because of the noise. Everything else is rope connections.
@@danhoff4401 That is interesting because I have found that my ascender is silent but the belay device is my only source of metal noise. I use a Climbing Technology Quick Roll Ascender. It has the potential to be very noisy but, with care, it is easy to use it silently. With a bit of practice it becomes second nature. I use a gri gri belay device. With each pull there is a little click. I also noticed a squeak developing which I attributed to the tensioning of the rope in the grooves. I solved that by putting a bit of string wax in the gri gri before each hunt. Works well and the rope does not slip at all. As far as the click from the gri gri, I consider it not worth worrying about. If the walk in and setting up all my gear at the base of the tree didn't alert deer, then they are probably too far away to hear that click.
@@jeffsalsieder640 I have a beal birdie, and I don't find it that much harder to advance the rope without the leverage point, so it's not that I couldn't find a way to do that I just don't need to. This guy's set up also has alot of metal, ropeman, bridge plate etc. I got rid of all of that. Slower to adjust, but no metal. The biggest thing I want to eliminate is metal on metal noise. Alot of things rustle only we clank.

This is exactly what I plan to do this fall, glad to see it practice while I wait on my saddle!
Man, you had me going, I though you were going to shoot that lady who was making all the noise. lol
Smartest tree hunter I've seen yet!
Thanks Chad. I will take a look at your videos. Looks interesting :) /TJ

I guess you can find the pouches on Amazon or ebay. I got them on wish.
@@roedeermania4876 Any chance you could share the wish link here? I've bought on wish before but the ones I have are smaller. Thanks for the video!

@@roedeermania4876 Thanks! Ordering a couple right now!
now that is a slick way to get up in a tree.
Slick.

Where can I find everything for that setup? I would really like to try this out before hunting season starts

What about the scent on the stick on the Ground? Keep on the trial work. We are all getting wiser on this fine way to hunt.

How do you get your rope out of the tree
I have one "up" hook and one "down" hook that I use to pull down the the rope with
Are you modifying that pole at all?
Just the hook

This is not a hunting situation so I don't focus that much on being quiet. There's lots ow ways of making the metal gadgets less clunky :)

What is the orange thing on your bridge?
john slaton It’s a Petzl adjust, none mechanical rope clamp. Works great!! Much better than a Ropeman.
Thats way loud!! Happy hunting!
pantera 333 mostly I use it to set up the day before and tje camera make it sound louder than it really is.
How did you make that bridge for your saddle
Johnny V Its a Petzl adjust clamp. No moving parts. www.petzl.com/INT/en/Sport/Lanyards/CONNECT-ADJUST
Roedeer mania thank you so much!
Idk man.... the more I look into this (srt), the more I just think a good set of sticks may be the way to go. Seems too loud and cumbersome to me.
There's no right or wrong in what equipment one uses as long as it's safe and FUN :)
I have sticks and steps. They all make noise if you are not careful . Main advantage I see is weight reduction.
