I totally agree it's way safer ever since I started one sticking I no longer climb down any tree even when I'm running climbing sticks I always rappel it's just so much easier rappelling than trying to climb down in the dark and you can use multiple step aiders cause you don't have to risk trying to climb back down them

Great "how to," Chad! Thanks for putting this out there. 👍🏼

[@kalebsmith2155]

Wow, crazy fast!

[@thefullaj]

Great video great system. I would highly encourage anyone using an assisted breaking device like the safeguard to tie a simple overhand on a bite knot on the break strand to prevent any accident from happening. Those devices (though they hold most of the time) are not designed to be hands free.

[@libertyordeath1287]

Great video. Have you tried one sticking. With the one stick method options now available it seems like packing multiple sticks in the woods is needless.

[@GRockBlues]

awesome job

[@gentrye02]

Pretty slick!

Hey guys! Just bought my first saddle setup. Any more info on how to make this aider? Need a single step to get off the ground. Thanks!

[@carypeaden4147]

The Cruzr XC is a great saddle, but what this video shows is a multiple (3) stick method with a movable aider and a lineman's rope on the climb and a rappel descent. It is not the one-stick method. There is nothing wrong with the method shown other than the One Stick label in the title. The one-stick method uses one stick (usually with one multistep aider) moved several times while hanging from a tether to climb and then usually a rappel descent. The guy in the video was fine in everything he said.

Thank you

Holy hell that fifi-hook aider is genius

[@tl2135]

What kind of carabiner is that you used to wrap around tree to rappel?

[@ryderschneider92]

What rope are you using 8mm , 11mm? Or could you post link :)

[@JoshTheFlyGuy]

when you attach the repel rope/tether to the tree how do you stop it from getting loose?

[@TheElementWild]

It stays tied from your body weight, holding against the cinch/loop.

[@wadesoutdoors1914]

Do you open the brake up all the way ? Just wondering what controls your speed .

[@TheElementWild]

Thats a great question. I'll ask Chad or if you want you can send them an email at the CRUZR website.

[@wadesoutdoors1914]

@@TheElementWild thank you . The only reason I’m asking is bc mine won’t start to move unless I have the lever pulled all the way . Just wondering if the right hand on rope adjust for the speed going down tree .

What dump pouches are you using there?

Cruzr makes them!

[@JSJTOUTDOORS]

I got the seeker platform and while I like the design I am very disappointed in the quality control of how it came from factory. The way they cast it. There is overpour that should have been sanded rather than be left like a razor blade. Thee are also pits /holes in the cast so could possibly be weak spots that could fracture. Overall I was very let down from what I thought I was going to receive to what I actually received.

[@Michaeldpress14]

You dudes are pulling some Batman type stuff in the woods 😂😂

[@REPR100]

My feet hurt just watching

[@Rcss27]

Just don’t get it. Seems like way more work than just climbing back down and removing the sticks. Everyone trying to reinvent the wheel.

[@sspice8934]

You obviously have never done it. Climbing down with an aider is way less safe than rappeling

[@williamgray1698]

@@sspice8934 then don’t use an aider….

[@sspice8934]

@@williamgray1698 in either case rappeling down is much easier ive done both ways
