love the idea on the climbing sticks! Ive actaully just wrapped the camo cloth tape around any part that meets the tree toi get rid of squeeking.. nothing worse than something that squeeks when you are hunting and trying to be quiet!

I also use the Fall Guy 20+ Safety System (I own four of them).

I have them permanently installed for the season at each stand. I don't pack them in and out each time.

These devices allow me to ascend and descend at a normal rate of speed. Any fast/sudden motion and they lock up NOW like a seat belt in a car.

After you've used them for a few years, you won't want to be without them.

Super :idea: dual purpose no harm to the tree, don't get me wrong I've put many a hole in a tree and will again, it don't hurt to keep it to a minimal.
