[QUOTE="tree_ghost, post: 5008016, member: 14521"] Climbing methods are diverse and I have several that I’ve tried. I started off with standard LW sticks and have gone through multiple manufacturers since. I haven’t found the “perfect” stick yet but I’m still experimenting. Personally I like a short stick 17-20” in length with single aiders. I carry a total of (4). This is the method I use for public land. Another alternative, and my personal favorite, are climbing spurs! To me these are the ultimate in mobile climbing methods however spurs are not for everyone! The first season I used them I was cautious and nervous. This year is my second full year with them and I feel like a squirrel! I can climb in the dark just by feel and they are quiet and fast. Also height isn’t a limitation. Lastly and the method my wife uses is the hand climber. It’s a great option for people transitioning from climber stand hunting to saddle hunting. You will be looking for the same type tree as your used to and the motion in climbing is virtually identical. Each method is unique and has upsides and downsides. There is no “best climbing method” there is only “a tool that is best suited to help you achieve your goal”...killing deer! [/QUOTE]
