Compact Climbing Methods: One Stick Climbing & Catalyst Ion Review

[@dustinhorn8495]

Great video production. Quality audio, HQ image, good angles, good frames, and I especially like the detail cut scenes. Thanks!

[@stevegermain1222]

I just got my whole saddle setup for this season that makes seven different types of stands I found your information be very on-point I've watched a number of them and yours is definitely one of the best thanks for taking the time to do this for us newbies it's very important to learn safety wish you a great season

[@cdp50359]

Thank you for showing everyone the safe way to climb

[@effmarco3425]

Once again, an excellent presentation. I'm one of the lucky ones with an ION, and I just can not wait to hunt with it! It's remarkably sturdy and, like you mentioned, it really is confidence inspiring. I feel like I can get up the tree just effortlessly. I thought it couldn't get any better until you introduced me to the roll-up. Thanks again.

[@justingreber9717]

I climb very similar to this but with an ewo 1 stick up ,10.5 mm platinum rope, a gri gri + belay device and same as you technique wise. Very good video for the beginner or seasoned climber. Ordered the tether lock and I have a roll up pouch I may incorporate into the base of my stick after viewing your video. Thanks for taking the time to share this info.

[@leomcnally6638]

Well done! I wish I had known this technique 40 years ago :)

[@SaddleHunter]

Thanks, it's certainly much faster and easier than I would have thought.

[@woodsdog7849]

Great video. This is basically my setup but I use the EWO Ultimate One-Stick with the UP Platform and two step aider. I like the idea of that drop out bag for my rappel/tether line though. Great job.

[@skipnoid3791]

Hey Spencer, Great video as always! Very well done and very informative. I dug the groovy music at the end too! I'd really love to see a video of your technique and order of how you get all your gear into the tree, etc. Pack and bow only, I guess if you're just using that stick as a platform too. Now that I've been practicing since Spring, I need to become efficient at getting my bow, pack and platform up too. I went out hunting for real the other night and it was a good first run. I'm not one to wear my pack or carry my bow or platform on me as I climb. If you already have a vid on that, maybe just link me to it. Thanks again for a great job. You've saved me an awful lot of trial and error by doing what you do and it's greatly appreciated!

[@clarkansas6590]

Great job.

[@504daron]

whats your set up for 2022 season? thx great video..appreciate u sir!

[@voiceforthevoicelesstruth5480]

Awesome bud I started to rappel down now just in case I drop the stick I have a way down and it’s faster

[@EasternWild]

I use a Doyle’s hoist for my bow, I wonder if running a Second Doyle’s on the opposite side would be easier to clip onto rope to pull down instead of the dyna glide?

[@carypeaden4147]

You do a very good job in your videos.

[@RTSchriner]

I’d love to see you do a review on the Trophyline EDP

[@upnorthkenny9674]

Great video lots of good information hey where did you get that tether locker at

[@paulcrave3112]

Is the Catalyst available anymore? Are they still in business?

[@cjr4497]

The technora sheath on those Sterling Canyon ropes are slippery. My rope is Canyon Tech, and even though it is 9.5mm I still had trouble finding a carabiner to work.

[@AERIALASSAULT1]

To change the rope you remove the cleat and that "pin" is actually a bolt. Unscrew the bolt slide rope out. Slide new rope back in and place bolt back in

[@jack002tuber]

The process of putting a loop on the end of the amsteel is pretty simple as well. Lots of youtubes that show how

[@dannybrowning2068]

two question? do you not caring the old tether or just use the repel rope as a tether.? can you not keep your bow up there with you incase you see a deer on the way down? like on the lineman rope?

[@Chickensk-y4s]

Where can I find the tether locker your using? Great video!

[@evanbylsma3902]

Is there anyway to srt with the mammoth smart 2.0?

[@HighHunting38]

Any chance of a Trophyline Wingman, UP platform review? The ION would be difficult to find.

[@F15Bluto]

Great job on the video and info. I’m trying to wade through the options of my first setup, and your videos are a wealth of good info. Did you ever do the final comparison video of the transformer vs the Cruzr XC? I’m kind of down to one of those or the Tethrd. (Although I’m not sure I should rule out the H2)

[@allannesss7782]

What saddle is that? I hate one sticking with my cruzr

[@stevevistad4612]

I am not finding a website for catalyst ion. Do they have a website?

[@gregbrightman1205]

50 seconds you could tie a double running bowline, No need for a delta link, a special rubber thing to hold up your delta link, no tie, at the end just hook pull down line to the back of the bowline and pull down the rappel line. I like double the rappel line tie an alpine butterfly, nothing else needed

[@dannybrowning2068]

what is the link for the tether lock?

[@paulcrave3112]

Do you ever have a concern about that aider blowing around in the wind? When hunting?

[@jamesmarsee3297]

Just hook it up over the step

[@paulcrave3112]

@@jamesmarsee3297 isn’t that kind of a reach when you’re on the top of the stick?

[@jamesmarsee3297]

I have a pull up rope with a treble hook thing on it that I use to pull up my bow and backpack, I use that.

[@benoitdelorme5256]

Catalyst ion is not available....banckrut compagny ?

[@jeffreygerber4336]

How do you get in touch with them I can’t find any website?

[@SaddleHunter]

I’ve only ever communicated with them through Instagram, but you could try Facebook as well.

[@jeffreygerber4336]

Tks

Can you film in Stereo? The Mono messes me up when trying to listen to you. Combat veteran with jacked hearing.

[@RWetherby]

Do you have a link to the teather lock

[@jdrkside23]

Innovating The outdoors is the company. The Ohm is the product...my wife has one for her 9mm Canyon Elite camo rope and I have one for my 8mm Resc tech repelling rope...awesome product! sure beats a nite ize gear tie!

[@chrisfarey8924]

Where do you get that tether tender?

[@jamesmarsee3297]

Innovating the Outdoors ohm tether locker

[@gregbrightman1205]

@@jamesmarsee3297 with a double running bowline that is not needed The rope will tighten on itself. move it up or down ,a quick pull tightens the rope. why tie a sinker to your rope with 15 ounces of steel? just sure to invite a rope to the ground.

[@publiclandoner1821]

Are you willing to sell it for $450

[@mikelong7593]

I am not a fan of the one stick..I think it's a accident waiting to Happen.

[@jorgequinones991]

You use it to hunt? Where is your rifle. You talk too much. The rest of the video is good. Thanks for showing me the system.

[@SaddleHunter]

Yeah I use it to hunt, but I’m not hauling a rifle out to public land in the summer. Thanks for watching.
