Modified Novix Helo tree stand two stick Ultralight Method (have since rectified safety issues)

Followed my son and one of his buddies into the woods where they demonstrated how to set up and the advantages of a #modifiedNovixHelo lock on stand. The #ultralightdeerstand system is very mobile and very quick to deploy. The use of only two sticks and aiders makes for a very light mobile stand system. The simple short cord method that allows to use the seat of the stand as an additional pack space is a definite game changer with this method. This mobile hunting setup with climbing sticks and stand combo make public land hunting more accessible when your area is pressured and you are forced to move locations in a short amount of time.

Strongly suggest linesman’s belt on the way up. Only takes one fall to get seriously hurt. Thx for the video

[@charonvanth5166]

Awesome video on what not to do😂

[@outsideourlane4295]

Glad you liked it!

[@brianbennett8445]

I'm new to saddle hunting. I've done a lot of research and spent the last year doing it. I have 30+ years bow hunting (with one fall) I can tell you I thought I was being careful and safe. I was not. I think you are on the right track and you will get there. But, you absolutely need to wear a tether or safety rope at all times! Not doing so and not promoting wearing one is a bad idea. I only forgot my safety rope one time. I'm lucky I now have three crushed vertibrae (instead of being dead or cripple) I can still hunt, but not like I used to. Do us all a favor and practice safety and promote it too. We bow hunters need to stick together. Good luck this season!

[@kevinh845]

Glad your still here brother.🤙🏻

[@outsideourlane4295]

We’ve all talked to him and now wears a tether.

Best video I’ve seen yet thank you!

Also would be great to get a video of the specific setup, with mods n all

[@outsideourlane4295]

I’ll get with the guys and try to get one made.

[@linthicum75]

Great video

[@jasonnull2248]

You can also add an aider to the bottom of your stand after you get it hung if you wanna add some height. I do that to limit sticks.

[@outsideourlane4295]

Great idea

[@RaisedOutdoors]

Quick and easy

[@kevinh845]

Awesome video brother. Appreciate the content

[@outsideourlane4295]

Thank you very much!! We love making it!!

[@wampire1284]

That was nerve racking to watch. Use a lineman’s going up. Have a tether attached above your stand after you set it and before you detach lineman’s to get in. 550 cord is light for body weight. 8mm accessory cord minimum for aider. Doesn’t matter how much you trust your Amsteel cordage on the sticks when you’re putting your weight on standard paracord

[@paulcrave3112]

Good video. Thanks for sharing. I think I heard you say that the top of your first stick is at 8 feet. You must be about 7’4” if that stick is at 8’. Lol

[@outsideourlane4295]

Lol, just a little over. No at 6’2”, 8’ isn’t that much higher.

[@plaw93]

Please put a dang harness on

[@outsideourlane4295]

If you can tell by the title, he wears one all the time now.

[@davidrussell631]

One possibly even fatal flaw with this method, though. All your hang on tree stand and climbing stick manuals say to step DOWN off your stick into the stand. I doubt many actually put the top stick above level with the platform, but you need to realize that when you’re stepping up so high to get into a stand, you’re basically asking it to rock and kick out BEFORE you even finish setting it. Begs the question of why bother toe hooking it to set it if you’ve already taken such risk? Right? Speaking of setting it, what’s important is not how much it drops but that a couple of the batwing bracket teeth are visibly biting the tree. I’m all for toting less and I use aiders as well, but bottom line is it’s hard to SAFELY get to most folk’s preferred hunting height with only two sticks. Multi-step aiders can work but how safe are they on crooked or wet trees? Toting one more stick won’t hurt. Check out Traditional Bowhunting and Wilderness Podcast. Dude is as fast and efficient hanging 3 LW sticks and a stand as anyone I’ve seen. Mainly though, stay SAFE and maybe you’ll still be able to hunt elevated when you get as old as I am.

[@michaelrobichaud5160]

Great advice David, he should make another video this time being safe, the young guys are good to keep our triditions alive but there never going to happen to me attitude needs work and that comes from hunting with a friend who drives an ATV into his blind because he can't walk anymore, A friend of mine closed off 400 acres of his land because someone sued him when they fell from there stand, the judge dismissed the case and today nobody can hunt without permission and waiver from there attorney, this is the price we pay for carelessness

[@michaelrobichaud5160]

Your're going to fall one day, where's your linemens rope, Your're swinging that stand around at that height, at one time you only had your feet at point of contact, balancing, and that harness you had around your waste tethered to tree is not going to save you, at least Corey had on a full harness, it's not a young man's game I just know how to get up there safely, I'm 60 years old hunting for 58 years and been hanging stands since the old Loc On stand days, I know you're young and believe never going to happen to me, you fall from that height and you could find yourself hunting fields from your truck with your handicap placard on your mirror, life isn't a race, be safe and enjoy your hunts

[@outsideourlane4295]

You are very correct, and think he has heeded the advice given.

[@michaelrobichaud5160]

@@outsideourlane4295 Make another video, this time highlighting his previous errors and it will go a long way, it's good to see young men today doing his thing and not in front of the Xbox

[@outsideourlane4295]

That is a very good and wise idea, we may do that very thing!

[@michaelrobichaud5160]

I don't respond to videos much but with the mobile hunting being the craze these days and the young hunters out there I thought it was useful, tell that young man his next video will go 100x fold, my worst hunting accident came at 16 when I actually sat on the brow time of a 8 pnt shed, still have that trophy shed today

[@daveyboy8907]

I hunted like this for almost 20 years without a linesman belt or a harness but now I wear a harness..I was lucky for 20 years..Be careful bud.

He does now as well. We talked to him about it.

[@steverickert212]

[@michaelrobichaud5160]

Your're so correct Steve, I lost track of all the errors that young man made, the stand and sticks companies should put out proper use of the products

[@justinlloyd9342]

I just got the novix helo it’s a good stand but I’m not real happy with it nothing wrong with it I guess I’m just getting to old to mess with these lock ons I fought with the sticks for 35min and never even got to hanging the stand I was completely wore out so I let my 17 yr old son try it I walked back to the house got my open shot climber walked back climbed a tree and came back down before he ever got the stand in the tree I feel like the climber is just more efficient for me but I can see where a lock on is needed

[@outsideourlane4295]

I think I probably agree with ya for us older guys. Just outta my comfort level, but take it back 15 years and I’d be all over it.

[@arkieoutdoors397]

Great video on the Helo set up. I think it’s the best bang for your buck as far as hang ons go. Good to see some other Arkansans on here. Needs to add a lightweight Rock Climbing Harness to his system though. Can I get some more info on how he built or attached the pack? Looked like a great idea.

What kind of safetey harness are you using? Look super light and comfortable.

None, just has a line hooked to his belt so if his takes a spill he's gonna be sideways. Looks pretty sketchy. I do like the use of aiders though and how he carries his sticks.

[@matthewt2422]

Coming from someone that's hunts with a saddle system you know how important it is to be tethered to the tree. It only takes one wrong move and you could be paralyzed. Or worse. Very discouraging to see this guy and knowing younger more inexperienced hunters are probably going to follow his example. Stupidity kills brother

Hawk

You can get a 4 pack for little over $100

Hmmmm……it maybe lighter, but still dangerous , at least a Hunter using a climber is always connected and falling out is highly reduced when your attached to the climber.

Be safe. A lineman's belt is ounces that could save your life. Well work the extra weight to carry. Notice that fact you edited out that part. That you don't use one. Some good advice "you should" again it's not about the deer. It's about who u return too. I cringed a bit for you watching this video
