How did your changes affect your mobility?
MUCH more mobile. Can get into 10x more trees that I could with my climber and I have found myself way more willing to walk farther into secluded spots.

Are you satisfied with your changes?
Absolutely, don't see myself ever turning back.

Are you planning to go further with this next year or did you find the perfect set up for you?
I may try single stick and even some DRT/SRT climbing next season.


Nice, heard mixed reviews on the steps. Seems people either love them or hate them, no in between. I too want to try my hand at rope climbing. At the very least I plan to add rappelling to my arsenal. It won’t save weight but it sure is fun. I haven’t bought into the 1 sticking yet. I think I’ll need some more practice.
