How To Get Your Climbing Sticks Up The Tree

[@thomasliptrott3834]

I really got exposed to mobile hang and hunt setups watching The Hunting Public this season, but your videos like this one and your lone wolf assault review have me sold! Now I just need to figure out how to afford the gear. Keep up the good work!

[@SamkoTradBow]

Keep the gear simple. Less is more. Especially running mobile. Start with good stand and sticks. Either put a hip belt on the stand or get a pack that you can put the stand and sticks on. But money wise sticks and a stand are most important. You can get a molle hip belt for 15 bucks that will take the weight off your shoulders until you have the money for a good pack set up. It's worth looking at exo mtn, kifaru, kuiu, stone glacier, etc. For a quality pack. But again all in time when you can afford it. The hip belt on the stand works great on a budget. Will also need a damn good headlamp for trying to figure stuff out in a new spot in the dark. A gps or phone app. And a good saw. Not much more is needed. Any questions on anything just ask!

[@SamkoTradBow]

Oooh and a good harness and lineman belt!!!! That is mandatory!!!!

[@pahuntnut]

Funny story. My sticks were clanking like that and i was so mad at myself each time it happened. It Ended up rattling in a buck but i was setting the platform at the time. Lol

[@travispearce3590]

Ima need to tie some antlers onto my sticks now 😂😂😂

[@jamesedwards6269]

Great video. I have recently started listening to your podcast. I listened to “Wisdom I wish I took more seriously” today. You could not be more right about what you were saying. I am truly sorry for the loss of your son and hope that you and your family will find some peace in your lives. God bless you all are in my prayers Merry Christmas.

[@SamkoTradBow]

Glad you are enjoying the visit and podcasts. Greatly appreciate you writing this and offering the kind words. We are doing best we can. And its support and prayers like this that help make it manageable. Thanks again. Merry Christmas to you and your family!

EXCITED TO TRY THIS METHOD, I CAN SEE IT WORKS! ANOTHER GREAT VIDEO! ALWAYS THUMBS UP!

[@SamkoTradBow]

Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it. This method has always been the fastest and method I like best

[@freddiebeavers8085]

Great tip. It's such a simple and practical idea that I just had one of those "why didnt I think of that" moments.

[@SamkoTradBow]

Sure saves time and energy making you climb up and down.

[@F.O.S.]

That's a sick start to a video. Hell yeah

[@SamkoTradBow]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@barryph1]

Thanks for the great video! I’m new to saddle hunting and climbing sticks, and have been struggling on how to get my sticks up the tree. I would set 2, come back down the tree to get the next 2. This makes it too simple!!

[@SamkoTradBow]

Glad i could help! Good luck this season and be safe

Thanks for the idea!!

[@pensnut08]

Such a simple solution.. Genius :) I would use the L/W sticks but I like have dual foot steps. Makes life a touch easier when climbing and especially when hanging the stands.

[@SamkoTradBow]

Double rungs are great to have. Xop makes a great stick with double rungs.

[@eagleone8270]

Grips are they called Yaks?

[@SamkoTradBow]

yes yak grips (kayak handle grips)

[@2Ryled]

Can you put a link to the lineman belt please? I dont know which one to get. There are so many. Thank you

[@SamkoTradBow]

This lineman belt is not available for sale but has to be made. Search lineman belt on my channel and will show you videos on what couple items you need and how to put it together. Super simple. Bit I can not sell them due to the cost of insurance on that sort of stuff.

[@2Ryled]

@@SamkoTradBow thank you

[@michaellacour3519]

smart...thank you.

[@SamkoTradBow]

@@michaellacour3519 glad you enjoyed it

[@urbanoutdoorsman1650]

Maybe I missed it but is there a vid of you hanging the stand as well? I have a Hawk Helium Light if that helps.

[@SamkoTradBow]

yep I have about 8 or 9 videos on hanging stands including one that shows how fast and how high with my set up. just search tree stand on my channel and they will all pop up for you.

[@joeldurette3209]

Jason...what kind of harness are you using

[@SamkoTradBow]

Old discontinued seat of the pants minimalist harness. They stopped making it a few years ago.

[@joeldurette3209]

@@SamkoTradBow Thanks for the prompt response...I'm looking for one like that with linesmen loops...what would you recommend?

[@SamkoTradBow]

@@joeldurette3209 I like the minimalist harnesses from tree spider, muddy, seat of the pants, and gorilla gtac air.

[@joeldurette3209]

@@SamkoTradBow Again thanks Jason going to look into those. Been watching your videos for awhile just subscribed. Take care.

[@SamkoTradBow]

@@joeldurette3209 thank you.

[@charltonlwalker]

Jason I am testing the Yak grips and I found they bind the strap a bit making it more difficult to cinch down or loosen the straps. Have you found they loosen up with time?

[@SamkoTradBow]

Yes they do loosen up. But they will always be a little tighter than not having them. I found that after they have been on there for a few days they get easier and after a a couple uses they are good enough to not bother me. Then they just get easier and easier as the season goes on. But the first couple days they are pretty tight to work with. The noise reduction is amazing and in my opinion worth it. Other people have actually cut a slit in the bottom of the yak grip to let the strap feed thru with less resistance and had good success. But for me th er y work fine after a couple days of stretching and get pretty easy to use.

[@garrettstraffon608]

👍🏻

[@MrTNBassmaster]

How high do you like to go

[@SamkoTradBow]

Between 12 and 18 feet. Usually around 15 or 16

[@MrTNBassmaster]

@@SamkoTradBow yeah, I dont see a use togo 20 feet

[@SamkoTradBow]

Between 12 and 18 feet with 14 to 16 as my average. Only go as high as I need to for cover

[@SamkoTradBow]

@@MrTNBassmaster I agree. The shot angles get to bad when you go to high

[@steppib.4598]

Are these sticks damaging the trees???

[@SamkoTradBow]

Nope not even a little. They just hang on the side of the tree for you to climb. Nothing penetrates, bites, or hurts the tree.

[@pennsyltuckyoutfitters1912]

What kind of camera do you use?

[@SamkoTradBow]

Pennsyltucky Outfitters canon 7d mark 2 with a canon 24-70 2.8 L series lens
