Ultimate Climbing System for Me
Рет қаралды 171,008
4 жыл бұрынThis is the ultimate mobile climbing system for me. This video is not intended for people to identically duplicate or even make this system. Climbing trees is very dangerous so every individual needs to be prepared to assume all of the risks and liability before attempting hunting from a tree or climbing one. If you want to further analyze my approach, the parts I used to make my setup are as follows
Tube aluminum from onlinemetal.com
Camo Duct Tape from amazon - amzn.to/2Q4TZCC
10 inches of 2,000-pound strength rock climbing rope - amzn.to/2EdJDO9 - (I've also used this material to make my lineman's rope to hang from, utilizing prussic chord - amzn.to/3kY8Qgp
4,500-pound breaking strength webbing for the ladder - amzn.to/3l0LqqH
about 4 feet of 550-pound breaking strength cordage - amzn.to/2Q7Lcjn
Green PVC pipe - amzn.to/2Qc1K9K
Straps and legs to that go against the tree were from XOP climbing sticks. Similar Lone Wolf straps can be purchased on Amazon with this link - amzn.to/3l2o7g3
End caps - amzn.to/2DaCWMz
If you decide to try a project like this, be overly careful and practice all safety measures possible, and be prepared to assume all liability for your designs and actions. This type of project is extremely dangerous and it is not advisable to duplicate it.

Since several people have missed it and then asked, I will note that you have to watch the video in full to see how I attach the ladder to me so that it can't fall to the ground. I use a piece of paracord rated at 550 pounds and a steel carabiner rated over 1000 pounds, tie one end to the top of the ladder and the other end clips onto my saddle. Even if I were to drop the ladder (which I intentionally do when coming down the tree for one of the steps) it is going to just hang there waiting for me to grab the paracord and keep going.

Thanks. Let me give you an observation I made after using it a bit. It works on straight tree but slanted trees it became tough to climb because you hang off the side of the tree in a real awkward way. If you try making something similar stick to straight trees.

First and foremost, Thank you Sir for making these videos. I'm a new Hunter, getting overwhelmed with all the things people recommend I "should" have. But, most, very rarely, explain how things work. All of the videos I've been watching from you have given me more knowledge on the actual machanics and break down. I'm slowly getting my gear that I will need for hunting. And this video has me thinking of how I can make my own sticks and ladder for my 265# self and my big feet 🙃. So, again I thank you Sir. Stay strong, stay healthy, stay blessed.

Great idea Sean. This would definitely come in handy on hunts where your way off the beaten path and need to travel light. I would have loved something like this years ago, but, not now, as I am in my mid 50s, I steer away from from taking too many chances when getting 20 feet off the ground. Honestly, I find using a 15 lb pack-able ground blind is the way I am going to hunt this season. Mainly because my son, Zach, will be hunting with me and being with him in the blind gives me more teach-able moments. I got 3 over the last couple years at the end of the season when Walmart put them on sale from $200 down to $75. The blind my son got his deer out of on opening day (5 Sept) was put there a couple weeks ago and deer got used to it quick. Anyway, good luck this season and God bless!

For that loop of climbing rope opposing overhand knots are probably fine for this purpose, but opposing double-overhand aka double-fisherman's knots will have higher strength and security and never loosen over time. That's what's typically used to make a loop of rope for climbing gear.

Also I have and idea on how to make the steps a little wider at the top for the foot to rest easier and safer on the top of the step.

Shew. I am a 12 to 15 feet guy. Sometimes even lower if short trunk trees. I have had two different tree stands, a ladder, and a climber, collapse or spin around a tree. Lucky I survived the falls. This was pre-safety harness days. Don't think the outcome would be the same that high. Had three bucks at the same time 360 degrees within feet of me and they never winded me 12 feet up. Also the steep shot angles from that high can get interesting. Quite a bit of wind sway as well.

I use the strapping material and cut a long piece. I then cut a piece of green PVC pipe and slid it down to the center of the bottom of the long piece. I tied a knot in the strap on both sides of the PVC so that it couldn't slide around. Up about a foot and a half I slid the strap through another piece of PVC from the opposite ends, one from the right one from the left. I then tied a knot on each side of the plastic piece so that it could not slide around or slide down the strap. And then went up about another foot and a half slid the strap through another piece of PVC pipe and tie the knot on each end so that the pipe could not slide around. I then tied a loop in the top. To make it easier to use in my system I tied a more rigid type of rope to that which would make it go on and off of my step easier.

Too many loose parts for my liking. I’d end up dropping a key piece out of my pocket and have to come down and start all over or leave a key piece in my truck. I’ve used ladders, and different climbers. So far my favorite is the lone wolf assasin. Lightweight and absolutely quiet going up and down the tree. Easy to use and comfortable if you set it up right. This in conjunction with a harness and 30’ prussic knot safety rope is my go to set up. It’s so light I hook a small pack to it and I can drag a deer with my gear on and not have to leave my weapon or gear in the woods or have to call a buddy to help. I like your innovative idea but too many parts to drop while half way up the tree.

very cool. I've been up three times in my Summit Viper, about 8-10'. With a supply bag, it's probably 35 or 40 lbs. I've finally got shoulder straps and molle belt to make it easier to pack into the woods and back. Now I'm wondering if I should just switch to a saddle system which seems so much lighter and simpler... or maybe try to get a few kills with the climber first, to justify the cost :)

I dont get it. Id carry a Volkswagen in the woods every time if its comfortable. Its become a common trend on youtube to complicate a simple process of climbing to shed a few lbs. Why not just carry good quality light weight sticks. These systems look maddening in the dark or coming down freezing cold. Im a mobile hunter too, I look for good quality comfortable, reliable gear and rarely concern myself with weight. What am I missing?

How far do you walk to your hunting spot and how many times have you had to drag a 200 pound deer back out? Donut enough times and the compact and light weight will make more sense

@@B.r.i.a.n.1 Perhaps try putting yourself in someone else's shoes if you are seeking understanding. For instance, after college, I joined a Franciscan religious order where we vowed to live in poverty, chastity, and obedience. I took it seriously and to the extreme. In my young immaturity, I looked down on the brothers who wore glasses because I didn't think that was living poverty. I have perfect eyesight and so I don't need glasses, which means it was easy for me to say no one should wear glasses who vows to love in poverty. But, for the person who can't see without glasses, it is a necessity to be able to function at a reasonable capacity. In essence, I needed to learn empathy and how to look at situations from other people's perspectives and needs. That is basically what I was trying to get through to you. Not everyone is as physically strong and fit as you have made yourself sound, and perhaps you should try putting yourself in the shoes of someone who simply is not capable of doing what you can do. Those of us who struggle with all that weight and gear while trying to also drag a deer many miles out of the forest, we look for ways to lower the weight so that we can manage the drag better. God bless you.

Where did you source the tree bracket that connects to the aluminum step pole? As far as dangerous, as long as you climb and have experience with a safety climbing system with a prisic type or an ascender/descender, with a body harness, I think you take some of the danger out of it. If you fall the safety system should catch you. Of course, I would test practice on very low heights to check and recheck all of your gear to ensure its not going to fail.

Okay maybe a stupid question but I'll ask anyway. Why do you need the brackets? If you have the rope ladder all that would be needed would be to have a loop through the top end. Pass it around the tree and through itself and just move that up and down the tree as you go. Yes, you would have to take it off going by branches. Has anyone tried doing this? Do you think it would be much more difficult or noisy going up and down the tree?
@seansoutdoors 4 жыл бұрын
The bracket holds the ladder away from the tree so that you can easily and safely get your foot into the ladder. Without the bracket you wouldn't be able to slide your foot in because the ladder would be laying against the tree, it would be a nightmare to try to climb that way.
