DIY climbing sticks (for the whitetail guys!)

[guitarpreston]

tinkering around with building my own climbing sticks. Saw the LWGC micro doubles and thought, I can build that. Cut prototype 2 this afternoon out of some 16ga that was on the table already. I need to tweak some of the weight relief, it’s getting the steel too thin on the sides and too thick between them, and make the bottom step a bit thicker.

Currently drawing standoffs, thinking about splitting them down the middle and having a 1 inch gap between the left and right side for the sticks to nest in.

To quote Elaine Bennis about another kind of stick:

"I don't know how you guys walk around with those things..."


You should run this past the boys on Saddlehunter.com. Not as feisty as 24HC, but they'll tell you what's what ...

I expect a lot of “you’re going to die” and things of that nature
