Swamp N Stomp is a channel or vlog, whatever you want to call it, dedicated to helping the hunting community grow, specifically in Florida. Studies show that the majority of modern hunters had family members who raised them as hunters, and a large portion of non-hunters want to hunt but don't know where to start. By documenting our hunting adventures, making instructional or tutorial videos, and really anything-hunting-related videos, we hope to help bridge that gap by providing practical information for beginner and experienced hunters on how to become a better and more ethical hunter.

I was almost sold on that unit until I watched you climb the tree it looked really laborious
I’m not sure how comfortable having all that attached to your back would be compared to just a saddle, Definitely looks comfortable once you’re up there though
I now use the Jx3 stick with top bar as my go to one stick just like you did. Prefer it over my ultimate one stick. It weighs 3lbs 14 oz with a Amstel 3 step aider. Don’t need a ring of steps with that.
“Any time you leave the ground you are at risk of falling, so don’t leave the ground” 😂
Love it! John sent me photos of these sticks a couple of weeks ago. I can’t wait to get my hands on mine. I have two JX3 Hybrid saddles that are going to get a work out again this year for the third year in a row. They are the best saddle out there in my opinion
Thanks for the vid. Love my JX3!
Everything i see about one sticking makes me a little nervous lol i think ill stick to the way its supposed to be used. Just orderd a set of jx3 sticks but ill be using a cruzr xc saddle instead of the hybrid. I already pack in heavy that thing just seems to be too much for me. Plus i use a StealthRig to pack in my bow so i dont carry anything else on my back
Might have to get a set myself
I run a 4 step aider. Makes it so much easier to get back on the stick especially when you have a lot of clothes on.
I actually took one of the steps off my three step altimator , I found it more safe and more comfortable only having two steps than three Also less shit hanging in the tree for your feet to get caught in could be because I knew to one sticking
I feel a piece of paracord attached to the stick to your belt is probably a good idea incase that step slips out of your grip while transitioning. That can make for a bad day if it falls. Maybe even a retractable gear tether.
Normally you would use your climbing rope while one sticking so you can belay down if you drop the stick. -Mark
Yes and a small tether to the stick would be useful to save you a trip back down the tree. -Danny
Great vid guys!!! Is all your cam gear in pack?
Have y’all ever been to tiger bay?
I’ll be hunting that archery and using y’all’s tips for scouting and for my game trails….. I’ve had lots of smaller doe…. But no bucks lol!
Mostly just pines and some cypress so finding oaks and food sources has been hard!
Anyways love the videos guys! Keep it up!!
Forget about oaks. I mean deer do eat them but there’s plenty of other food sources to focus on. Early season they eat a lot of palmetto berries and beauty berries
Finally, a one sticking with a JX3 video. Thank you. About how much does the stick weigh? Looks slick.
I’ll get you the exact number tomorrow. I weighed it before but forgot what it was. It’s pretty light weight aluminum with reinforcement pillars inside the tube. I’ll try to get a detailed video out on it soon. -Danny
JX3 told me it weighs "just over 2 pounds"...
@@JohnSims3 hey John sorry I hadn’t got back to you.
Ill be dropping a full review video this coming week. I was holding off till they became available.
@@SwampNStomp Thanks!
I sure would like to know more about that stick. It looks awesome
We are going to release a video specifically on the stick next week!
@@SwampNStomp what's the name and how do u buy the stick 🤔
@@cray-z7404 go to JX3outdoors.com you’ll find them there. Use the code in our description for a discount. -Danny
Please do not take next as a discouraging and Enjoy hunting. ;-) however, why do not use repel rope on the way up? it is much safer (especially at the end of the hunt). your step/platform system makes it hard (dangerous) because it catches your rope on the "wings". Also, you Need 3 rope steps with your climbing style. feel free to message me re this. I moved to FL some time ago and using as guidoWeb (ancestor of your saddle) as regular saddles (including made myself) in mobile mode. You can make rope ladder yourself and tune it for your climbing style..
Good stuff! Im lookin to one stick with my ultimate stick and utelize the jx3. Gettin tired of hip pinch and back pain in my regular saddle.
What saddle do you have? If adjusted properly you shouldn’t be experiencing any of that in a good saddle. The JX3 is definitely a great and very comfortable option though!
@@SwampNStomp Man I have owned a tethrd Mantis, the Predator, a Drey, and a Kestrel Flex and they ALL have hip pinch or back pain during long sits!
Are you using the regular bridge with the jx3?
Just watched your older video on using the DRT method with the JX3. Is this your preferred setup now and/or did something steer you away rom DRT method?
Hey Cody honestly I only use single stick when i have to like in last minute situations. Otherwise I prefer srt and or multiple sticks when I can. I’ve not done DRT since I got all my gear for SRT. If I’m revisiting a sight I’ll setup sticks to get in quiet and not disturb the area. -Danny
Ditch that short tether. Get 30’ of rope and a descender. If you drop the stick you’re screwed.
Already have. This video was from last year.
Let me help you out summit viper lol
Lol I have one. It stays in the shed. One stick is definitely not the most efficient way to climb by any means. Personally I prefer SRT and use one stick when I’m climbing a palm and or going into a spot at night and am not able to get a throw ball over a branch quietly. Believe it or not but you can one stick just about as quiet as you can climb with a climber. Not as fast tho. Thanks for watching tho! We appreciate the humor. -Danny
Let me help you out, half the weight just as comfortable. Honestly I’d say JX3 is more comfortable
Also can you tell me about the seat/harness system your using?
That’s the JX3 hybrid check it out on www.jx3outdoors.com
So you have to buy a rappelling rope separately from the jx3?
If u want to climb using SRT. Either way you’ll need to get yourself a climbing method, whether it’s sticks, ropes, etc. -Mark
Maybe you said it, but, how many inches are each step in your two step aider?
It’s a moveable aider called the ultimaider so you can adjust it to the exact length you need. Danny has it setup pretty long, probably 17-18” for each step. Thanks for watching, don’t forget to subscribe! -Mark
I got my first WMA quota this year in Lake Wales Ridge Royce Unit. Obviously it depends on the land and such, are climbers and stands required or is it possible to hunt from a ground blind? I’m worried that it will be too swampy in most areas.
How did you do at Royce Unit? The areas I saw were pretty dry....
@@JohnSims3 I saw a handful of coyotes, a small doe, and a bobcat. Too far to shoot. It was HOT!!
@@DownNDirty-gi6sr At least you saw something! Yep, it's too damn hot to bowhunt in FLA!
@@JohnSims3 I’m headed to SC next weekend and MO in November. Hopefully a bit cooler
@@DownNDirty-gi6sr Good luck!
Cool demo. Crazy saddle though. I saddle hunt to pack smaller and lighter. I don't see the point in that type of saddle when you could just use a climbing stand or a hang on stand. To each their own not everyone's hunting style is the same.
It’s a lot lighter than a climber and it still gives you maneuverability of a saddle but extra comfort. It’s good for al day sits. It is definitely bulkier than your typical saddle. It has its place in the toolbox though. Thanks for watching -Mark
@@SwampNStomp My openshot weighs around 15lbs and that saddle alone is listed as weighing almost 14lbs. You would have to have less than a 1lb stick to come in at a weight less than the openshot sd. If you were to one stick climb and just hang a stand it would be lighter than the saddle alone at around 10 - 11 lbs. I have sat in my saddle all day without issues but by far the most comfortable all-day sit was in a goliath summit climber. That thing was like sitting in a recliner, but it weighted around 23lbs total. I walk through a lot of tight brush and it looks like that hybrid saddle would get caught on everything.
Tom the JX3 isn’t comparable to a saddle and or a climber or hang on it’s in it’s own league. The JX3 allows you ti sit in the skinniest of trees with the up most comfort. You have to look at us as more of a system then just a saddle or climber. The pack system meshes flawlessly with it. It’s basically a frame pack that allows you to hunt from an elevated position. -Danny
@@SwampNStomp It is definitely an interesting setup bit it seems wide and a bit bulky. I only started into saddle hunting a few years ago and have the xop platform right now and I 1 stick with helium sticks and an aider. It is light and I have found that setup works best for smaller trees. Basketball size and smaller. When I know the trees are going to be straight and limbless I go with the summit openshot sd. When I plan on hunting the same spot a few times or during gun season I will pack in a light weight hang on. For public land nothing is better than the saddle and a single stick for weight and flexibility. Never know if someone else will be in my spots.
@@tray22 sounds like a solid setup ya got there. All we have access to is public for now. So the mobile setup is what we use. -Danny
What is the cleat you're using on your climbing stick? I looked in the description but couldn't find it.
It comes standard on that JX3 sticks. The will be available to the public soon. We will pass it along to the owner that he may want to make the clear available separately as well.
@@SwampNStomp A Harken 150 cam cleat would be easier and quicker for one-sticking.
The website don’t let you buy just one right now :/
I like How cautious you were, almost a little scared, I would be too my first few times 😅. Is there a safety rope on your stick? I notice you totally unhooked it from the tree every time you moved it. Would kinda suck if you dropped it huh?
I’m actually very comfortable in the trees well above the hight that I was climbing for this video but I am definitely always cautious. Things can go side ways real quick. Even if you don’t fall all the way down a short fall can ruin a hunting trip.
You could add a tether between your self and the stick if you’d like. I personally don’t but it’s not a bad idea. In the event that you drop the stick you could just setup ur rope and repel down or use your lineman’s belt as a second tether and work your way back down. -Danny
I would like to see more about those sticks!
They will be released very soon! That are pretty sweet and super lightweight!
If you use a little more rope, you could work with both ends of it and set anchors above each other. Eliminating the need to slide the tether up. Standing on a stick, with a lot of slack in your system and sliding it up the tree with your fingers behind it is an extremely dangerous thing to do.
No it’s not. Don’t drink the JRB koolade. Look where it got Dane Purcell! RIP. Know your equipment, know your abilities, don’t do more than you should. You can one stick climb as safely as any other method! Slow and steady wins the race. -Mark
@@SwampNStomp How it's that not unsafe? Saddles arent fall arrest devices, a fall with the tether that low while adjusting it will probably be fatal. Dane Purcell wasn't even climbing JRB and was found upright in his saddle. Get your facts straight.
Where can I buy the stick?
I have been one sticking with jx3 and a hawk helium... I would love to upgrade. I also repel to get down.
The sticks will be on the www.JX3outdoors.com site soon.
Muddy stAgger sticks $80 a set
Why are you using such a large one stick design? Does it attach to your JX3 saddle for the walk in and out?
How much does the stick weigh?
Yes it actually attaches to the JX3 perfectly. The stick with the attached top par I’d about 2lbs. -Danny
@@SwampNStompwhat about a backpack. Do you have the JX3 backpack? Does it stay on your back for the hunt?
@@paulcrave3112 I do have the JX3 pack system. It took me a little bit to get use to it but now I use it with all my systems. Its pretty damn sweet. -Danny
@@SwampNStomp I guess I'll have to look for some videos on it. From the photos I see on their web site, it looks like a huge tangle potential. Lol
@@paulcrave3112 😂 it’s a system. You can use it with or without some of the items that it comes with. I personally haven’t used the hand Warner thingy. -Danny
Can you do a video on the sticks
Will do.
I wish they sold the single but $250 for the set is too MUCH
They do sell singles. -Danny
@@SwampNStomp I saw it, for 90 plus shipping. These guys are a little over priced IMO
@@ThomasShue try SNS22 for a discount. They are pretty darn sweet. You won’t be disappointed. -Danny
@@SwampNStomp I actually bit the bullet and bought one hoping that a one stick setup would be good for me. I plan to make one sticks of the other 3 and sell them to pay for my entire investment
They do sell the single
I’m confused…why the hell wouldn’t you just use a climbing tree stand. The one I use is 10 lbs, $200, and works 10 times faster, 20 times easier. Put it around the tree, sit down, tie your safety rope, and climb on up. Can climb a tree that high in 30 seconds. The weight of your ass on the seat is what makes it dig into the tree. It’s so simple.
Is there a law in Florida that doesn’t allow climbing stands?
Hi Mike! I’ve actually hunted from a climber most of my life. Since I switched to using saddles I’ve not picked my climber back up.
Saddles allow you to access spots that you wouldn’t be able to in a climber. You can get into virtually any tree that will hold your weight. Also you can go as light as 10lbs in some cases even less. It’s not for everyone. But most ppl that try it don’t go back to Climbers. Thanks for watching! Be sure to subscribe! -Danny
Hard pass. I’ll stay w my beast sticks.
