About Revive Outdoors:
Revive Outdoors was created by our Founder, Taylor Philpot, in 2020 after the loss of his daughter. Taylor experienced a lot of healing through the outdoors and wanted to share this with others who found themselves walking through a challenging season of life. He began to connect others to the outdoors through outings, content creation and events where they too, found the outdoors can be a place to “Revive Your Life” and connect with God in a greater way.
Often when Taylor reflects, he says, “I remember going to the woods after we lost our daughter and crying out in anger to God some days and in sadness the next. The woods became my safe place to talk with God and tell Him what I really felt in my heart. Sometimes I would get deep into the woods so I could scream without anyone hearing me or cry without anyone seeing me. In my lowest moments spent in the woods, God brought me closer to Him and it allowed me to REVIVE my life.
Revive Outdoors is an 501(c)3 organization created to make a positive and eternal impact in the outdoor community through events, outings and content creation. Each year, we host multiple educational outdoor events, create content through our social media platforms and orchestrate outings that provide a one-on-one environment that teaches proper stewardship of the outdoors.

Thanks for the review
Picked one up from the show last Friday, looking forward to trying it out
Let us know how you like it!
We appreciate you! Enjoy it! Can't wait to hear about your stealthiest hunting season ever!
Cool product! Very similar to 2TC I guess, maybe more stable with having both feel on the base. Some tether handles would be a nice added safety feature to your product
Thanks for watching and the input!
simple and light, always the best. One thing I would add to it though is a string attaching it to you because if it slips all the way down the tree while you're up high, you're screwed!
I was thinking the same thing earlier today! We all know someone whose had that happen with a climber 🤣
Your feet stay in the loop of the climber the whole time! If you climb how it is intended, it won't ever fall!
I see what you mean, I rewatch the video and understand what you're saying. But for the strange reason that someone loses balance or just slips it probably wouldn't hurt to have it tied to you.
Is this easier than one sticking? It looks like it may be? I'm currently one sticking but don't like sitting in the saddle dangling. Could you hang a hang on with that thing? I use the hybrid style. Saddle with a hang on
@@tomnolan2186 that’s what I am interested to try myself
I assume you can use any tether. Very unique.
Yes you can!
What’s the rig weigh? Pretty neat set up.
Thanks! It weighs in at 3.7lbs, and we didn't sacrifice any quality. It has a steel base, carbon fiber reinforced end caps, and abrasion resistance arborist rope!
Point of fact; title is incorrect two tether climbing with stirrups and amsteel rope is the lightest method. By far. A variety of one stick options are also kighter. If you are also carrying a platform, because this is not a true platform replacement option, then this sytem is also not lighter than a LW hand climber top or either of the climbing platform options on the market.
Stirrups allow independent leg movement, each on a separate axis when using the system as a platform and can be used on one foot allowing you to leg lock the tree while adjusting your tether. You can make this yourself out of a 2x4 which Scott Adkins demo'd several years ago and be lighter as well. I've done that, played with the concept, and stirrups are head and shoulders a better option. My current 2TC setup is from CGM.
@@danhoff4401 thanks for sharing and watching!
I saw the CGM setup/demo video today for the first time. It was very interesting to see
2:21 where it starts
Thanks Chris! And thanks for watching!
Then you come to a branch 🤔.
What if the tree is wider in diameter?. No room to get your foot in
Our general rule of practice is only climb trees you can hug! Haha
But the Bandit Climber will work on a wide variety of diameters, and you won't even notice if the diameter changes on the tree.
@@raccoonrigs when it doubt, hug it out! 😎👍
Thanks guys! Happy to answer any questions anyone has here in the comments!
I assume you can use any tether. Very unique
Looks like I am ordering one moving from wild edge steps
@@bulletsandbroadheads Yes! We just offer ours for people who don't already have one, or want another at an affordable price
@@mississippioutdoorsman1 Awesome! Can't wait for you to get it! We look forward to hearing about your stealthiest season yet!
Nice light weight but looks like youd better lay off the twinkies to use it
I prefer honey buns! But will let you know how I handle it when I put it on the tree!
@@reviveoutdoors4him i didnt mean you personally like you look fat i meant the average hunter in general. Sorry if it came off that way
Are we climbing poles or trees?
Looks like everything is being designed now days around telephone poles with no obstructions at all lol
To much work lol
After using it you'd see that its actually a lot less work than other climbing methods!
Wtf has happened to hunting 😂
Social media has invaded every aspect of life that’s what.
Looks pretty useless unless ur hunting telephone poles
Not sure how even to reply to this haha 😂
Do you say the same thing about all other climbers?
We have plenty of videos on our website where we are climbing trees!
@@raccoonrigs I'm not saying I completely agree with him, but I'm on the fence about ordering due to this. I don't have the luxury of having nice, straight, limbless trees where I hunt here in the swamp. I really like the concept here but it's hard to see how this could replace my climbing sticks (which I would really love to). If there are some ways you can workaround limbs using this system, I'd love to see them. Perhaps using multiple tethers? Carry a single stick with you to help transition over a limb/rough patch on a tree? A video of that would be great.
Also is the intention to not use a saddle platform here? I think I'd still use one.
@@ADirtyRunner Some people do, some people don't!
I personally use it as my platform for rifle season. But for bow season I bring up a separate platform to stand on.
Other people at our company always bring a platform up with them!
@@ADirtyRunner you would treat it like one sticking, so you hang in your saddle, use your feet to steady yourself against the tree and move the tether of this thing around the limb to continue. That being said I think there is a need for products in this category just disagree with the approach of this method. That sandpaper is going to wear down and it is much easier to slip off a round bar with a prusik while moving your tether up than something like a stick
