In this video I go over the best climbing stick attachment method that I've come across to date: The USA Pro Series from the Amsteel Guy. I'm finally ditching the cam strap for my Predator Platform because this strap is so solid. If you are looking for an attachment method for a climbing stick or a platform for mobile hunting you'll want to check this out. You can purchase them from www.etsy.com/listing/12692111...

I just picked up some USA Pros for my EWO feather sticks, that’s the best stick attachment that I’ve used yet. Really like then.

That USA pro is awesome! I put it on my seeker platform that would never ever bite the tree like it’s supposed to with the cam strap but she’s finally biting strong with the USA pro. Thanks for the video and the amsteel guy for another great product!

i bought the USA double bury, for platform looks nice doing on ground love to see you do up on sticks. I have been for last week and not easy holding preasure on platform and do all the pass through pull and hook.. oh yeah the shrink wrap fell off after several uses i need to go buy some new shrink wrap because amsteel is fraying alot...

@brianbennett8445 Жыл бұрын

Just a heads up. Get yourself secure to tree and comfy before you put on the platform. It will go a lot easier. Good luck

Passing the rope through the schwabish can be tuff. Pro tip... put the rope thru the schwabish before going around the tree. Then you can just grab the rope at the schwabish & take it straight to the versa button. My 1st time out I thought the same as you, that I may need another hand. But, when I took the platform off the tree I didn't pull the rope back thru the schwabish so it's ready to go the next time out.

@andycar01033 Жыл бұрын

When standing directly in front of it it is easy but i put my platform to my left or right try that and pull and loop and hook in a demo in tree . the full bury for platform is very thick and the 2nd swabish folds does not pull like the lite.

What would be the benefit of the full bury version compared to the lite?

@SaddleHunter 2 жыл бұрын

The only advantage that I have found in my testing is that the hitches don’t cinch down as hard on the full bury version.

Geez, I literally just bought a USA LITE and haven't even tried out yet and it's replaced. I guess it is possible to just purchase an Amsteel loop and make the second swabish on my exiting LITE, no? any idea on the loop size?

Is there a difference between this and the Vital Grounds Outdoors PSH? I like the idea of ditching a cam strap… just trying to find the best option. Thanks in advance

Yeah they operate off completely different principles. Both are good options. My experience with a PSH is super limited, but a friend who has both believes the USA Pro gets tighter.

I don’t find it difficult. A short push to induce slack and you are good to go. The full bury is definitely easier to break than the lite.

poor tree, i try me best to not run large loads on anything less than 1inch. i definitely get the pitch here but i understand that cambium can be easily damaged. probably caring too much about the trees but ive even switched up some very productive trees cause i can see the years of wear from me using them. probably not really as big of an issue as i think but it should be on your mind if conservation is a goal.

This is just stupid. No offense to you personally but this is complicating something with zero benefit of doing so. Use a truckers hitch and a daisy and be done. You yourself commented on the best attachment video you did that you didn't include the truckers hitch bec you felt like you might as well use a rope mod if your going to do that. Then you promote this.

Honestly, this is so over complicated. And the price seems a bit ridiculous in my opinion. I feel like this is just another way to grab money from folks. There are pother companies making amsteel products that make things MORE simple, not more complicated. I'm going to go with them as this just seems like not a whole lot of added value yet the price tag doesn't reflect that.
