Installing a Cam Cleat | DIY One Stick Build | Hawk Helium One Stick build Part 2

This video focuses on Install a cam cleat to my hawk helium one stick build. I have been wanting to start using the one-stick climbing method for hunting. I was going to buy a pre-built, all-in-one stick, but didn't want to pay for something that I could build myself. I already had a set of Hawk Helium sticks and figured I could safely modify one of them for my one-stick. This series will take you step-by-step, showing you how I modified my new one-stick.

Just what I needed to know , thx

[@coltonbozeman4475]

Hey man what size bolts did you get for the cam cleat? I have the exact same set up

[@madhuntsadventures]

Awesome! Thanks for taking the time to make this series!

[@TheHunterGatherer]

No problem. I figured there are a lot of helium owners out there and couldn't find a video of a build. So I decided to make my own. Glad you found it.

[@dfm-jv7ry]

Where do you attach the amsteel cord that you will pull through the cleat?

[@jax9224]

Did you get the harken 150 and if so what size bolt did you use including length if you don’t mind sharing. I have actually did everything you have done and followed your video for all the info.

[@nicklausmisiti5204]

I have the same question any link to the cam cleat and does it come with hardware, if not where and what hardware did you get?

[@TheHunterGatherer]

I got the cam cleat from www.doublesteps.com and it came with the hardware at the time of purchase.

[@Bigheadproductions23]

two (2) #10-32 x 2 1/2″ flat head, black zinc socket screws with black zinc lock nut and washer.

[@seanbarrett657]

Any reason this couldnt be used on an old sandcast lone wolf hang on? I've seen the cam cleats used on sticks but not on stands. Not sure why. Seems like a no brainer.

[@stevenlittle4430]

did you find that lip to cause any problems when installing the cam cleat?? sits snug and tight??

[@TheHunterGatherer]

I haven't seen any issue with it. It seems to work fine.

[@jax9224]

Does it do good on the tree with the cleat in that spot like it don’t kick out or anything or do you wish you put it higher or lower

[@TheHunterGatherer]

It worked really well the few times I got to try it this year. Didn't kick out at all.

[@johnstancato8785]

Where did you get the bolts for the cam cleat mine did not come with any

[@TheHunterGatherer]

Mine came with them. I bought it from Eastern Woods Outdoors (doublesteps.com).

[@Latituderanch]

@@TheHunterGathererhmmm wondering why mine didn’t come with hardware. I reckon I can scroll through here or rewatch the video to get the size bolt that you used to attach it to the stick . Or I can be the 100th person to ask lol

[@TheHunterGatherer]

@Latituderanch I got my harken cam cleat from doublesteps.com and it came with the hardware. This is what the website says. Includes two (2) #10-32 x 2 1/2″ flat head, black zinc socket screws with black zinc lock nut and washer.

[@SpaggleRock80]

Could this be added to the hawk 31 sticks?

[@TheHunterGatherer]

I don't see why it wouldn't work.

[@SpaggleRock80]

@@TheHunterGatherer now I’m would u need one or two per stick

[@hayward57]

What size bolts or type did you use for the cam cleat? Mine didn’t come with any

[@TheHunterGatherer]

Mine came with them from doublesteps.com. I'm not sure the size.

[@Dmoore37]

What size bolts are those?

[@xNaS71x]

Also how far below the button hole did you put the cam cleat?

[@TheHunterGatherer]

About 3/8 of an inch for the top bolt hole.

[@stevenlittle4430]

Did you use the button hole for the cam cleat or did you make two new holes instead of just one?

[@stevenlittle4430]

Also, what size hardware did you use for the cam cleat? Mine didnt come with any.

[@TheHunterGatherer]

I didn't use the button hole. I drilled new holes. Not sure of the hardware. Mine came with it already.

[@mossyoak78552]

@@TheHunterGatherer any particular reason you made two new holes instead of using the existing hole for one?

[@davidclementjr3425]

How did you attach the am steel rope?

[@TheHunterGatherer]

Good question. If you watch the 3rd video in the series, you will see how i did it. The video covers the full burry amsteel rope. I made my brummel loop just the right size to fit over the hawk helium stick.

[@BWalter032]

Are those just regular drill bits?

[@TheHunterGatherer]

Yes, just metal bits.
