I like how fast and easy you made it look when you scaled down the deer. I think it is an awesome setup.

[@georgiapublicproject5578]

It really is a great set up! Thanks for watching!

[@brandoncusmc]

Really neat set up. Definitely thinking outta the box

[@georgiapublicproject5578]

It’s worked well for me this year!

[@tombutler7726]

Very quick, efficient setup. Definitely have to have confidence in the tree spikes.

[@georgiapublicproject5578]

You got that right!

[@TheSouthernObsession]

Awesome setup man! I was curious and thought about texting you to see what you were running this year. I have LWCG 1.0 and thought about trying to climb with spurs with it!

[@georgiapublicproject5578]

Do it man! You won’t regret it!

[@TheSouthernObsession]

​@georgiapublicproject5578 what spurs are you running?

[@heardthewordoftruth6704]

What’s the learning curve like with spurs?

[@georgiapublicproject5578]

It’s really not that bad. Just be sure to practice at a safe distance. Climbing down is more challenging than up. A buck squeeze would be the safest option for you, especially while learning. I recommend repelling down vs trying to climb down with spikes!

ClimbRight Aluminum Tree Gaffs

[@Estrnhntr1300]

I hunt very similar with my LWCG .5 and one stick. Spikes are illegal to use in Ohio, Ky, and TN so one sticking is the next best thing. Rappelling out of the tree has to be the best/safest way to come down as well!

[@georgiapublicproject5578]

Absolutely the safest easiest way out of the tree in my opinion!

[@WilliamRommel-iq1dg]

Very nice setup! The hybrid game is where it’s at. I run the XOP Mondo you won’t regret it if you go that route. What backpack straps are you running on your Cold World?

[@georgiapublicproject5578]

They are the TX5 custom straps!

[@TumlinOutdoors]

Pretty cool concept brother! Been debating on this or one sticking been stuck between decisions

[@georgiapublicproject5578]

If your a big guy like me, 1 sticking is not super fun 😂

[@karmas.busdriver]

I like the unique and efficient combination of styles in your set up. Mine is similar, instead of climbing spikes, I use a 4--12' extension pole with a custom slide on hook which I can hook on any good branch up to about 20 feet in one set. With my rig I'm 20 feet up working on hanging my stand in about a minute, of course my style does require good anchor branches within the 20 foot reach.

[@georgiapublicproject5578]

That’s super cool! Hard to find really solid branches in GA at 20ft. Most of the big branches are at 30-40ft. We would love to see a video of your set up though, sounds awesome!

[@karmas.busdriver]

@@georgiapublicproject5578 I'm up just across the border from northeast Wisconsin. Lots of shorter, fatter trees up here 😁 I'll send you a link when I get a production grade rig finished in a couple weeks. My original is a glorified meat hook with a 3" piece of 1/2" id black pipe welded to it . All it has to do is connect to a Caribbeaner, and have a tube to slide off an extension pole. Reach up and hook it in. I use a 22" T bar with a ropeman1 on it for a slide up or down step. Madrock safeguard on my saddle.

[@gordonneverdies]

​@@karmas.busdriver I'd like to see a video of that too. Sounds pretty cool.

[@nickbrlan5188]

Arborists invented mobile hunting …nice set up

[@georgiapublicproject5578]

Much appreciated!

[@joshuapierce6701]

Can you tell me how you made your buckles on your spikes? Or where you bought them

[@georgiapublicproject5578]

I made them with just some webbing, and buckles. Honestly would not recommend it, I would quiet down the factory leather straps. Much safer in the long run! I’m taking mine back to the leather straps on the lower part! -Jonah

[@RigidOak]

What straps/back pack system are you running to carry the stand? I have the xop gamma but I like the look of that one!

[@georgiapublicproject5578]

It’s the TX5 strap system!

[@ljc_outdoors9511]

What straps are actually on the stand when you carry the stand on your back?

[@georgiapublicproject5578]

TX5 strap system, you can get them from Latitude now!

[@NpisVwjNeejYias]

Great setup, but how do you setup on trees with big branches?

[@georgiapublicproject5578]

Good question. I normally put my tether (repel rope) above the branch, and then disconnect my linesman’s rope and go around the branch. Thanks for watching!

[@NpisVwjNeejYias]

@@georgiapublicproject5578 but if that's the case, how do you get your rope down with trees having branches? Sorry for asking so many questions.

[@georgiapublicproject5578]

I just pull it out of the tree with my pull up rope. I have a carabiner on the end of my pull up rope that connects to my repel rope. You just have to watch out for trees that have really tight crotches in the branches because sometimes your rope can get stuck!

[@aubpen]

Sweet setup, what pack is that attached to the stand?

[@georgiapublicproject5578]

It’s the badlands monster fanny pack! I will probably be changing that part up this year. Haven’t figured out what I am going to change to yet though!

[@aubpen]

@@georgiapublicproject5578 sorry i meant back pack straps lol, i like how the have padding but are still minimalist in a way!

[@eddiesheppard7124]

I have always thought it was illegal to use spikes on live trees on WMA's and Gov't land in Georgia, so after hearing you say it was legal in Georgia, I went to the regs hoping you were correct. On the top right of page 38 it states: . No carving, cutting, chopping or damaging of live or standing trees. Unfortunately, spikes damage trees and I am pretty sure they are not legal on Public Land. If I am wrong, can you point me in the direction that I can see where it is legal?

[@georgiapublicproject5578]

I have asked 3 DNR rangers about it in my area, and all of them have told me I am good to go. 👍🏻

[@georgiapublicproject5578]

Also, they do no more damage to a tree than sticks or a climber. So, if your looking at it that way, technically anything we use to hunt is illegal.

[@eddiesheppard7124]

That's not quite true. I've been an ISA Certified Arborist for almost 30 years and know a little bit about tree biology. Didn't comment to argue with you. Just trying to get some clarification. Thanks for responding@@georgiapublicproject5578

[@georgiapublicproject5578]

No problem! Thanks for watching! Appreciate it!

[@mr.washington1837]

Could you pack out a deer on the stand?

[@georgiapublicproject5578]

Most definitely. You would need straps of some sort to hold all the meat down to it. That and game bags to keep the meat in before it goes on the stand. The seat would be a perfect meat shelf.

[@TalenWhite]

Spiking a tree isn’t good for the tree. Spikes go through the bark into the sapwood leaving a wound that bacteria and bugs can get in. Climbing sticks are good because they don’t cut through the bark. Also sticks have less points of contact.

[@TheSouthernObsession]

After running multiple setups for years, I can comfortably say climbers, platforms, hang ons, and climb sticks all have done more damage in climbing than I have ever seen tree spurs do. Maybe if you try to hammer the spurs into the tree but when climbing they don't go that deep. Definitely better than the drill in climbing spikes people have been using alot.

[@cray-z7404]

What kind climbing spikes

[@georgiapublicproject5578]

Climb Right Aluminum tree gaffs, they are linked in the description!

[@nicshirey6254]

Your wrong about keeping your knees slightly bent. lock them out

[@TheSouthernObsession]

After climbing Utility poles for work and climbing tree for trimming and hunting, I'll always keep a slight bend in my knees. I may lock out one leg while I'm working if I'm stationary at one spot but active climbing no need to lock the knees. Easier to move when you keep a slight bend and tend to run less of a risk of cutting out not locking your knees.
