My Lone Wolf Sticks are ready/Ready for my mobile way of hunting
I just camo'ed these out today with Ultimate camo cloth tape. It quieted them a lot, and definitely conceals them better. I am toying with the idea of blowing expandable foam in them to further quiet them. I added the UCR's(Utility Constriction ropes) to them and this lighted my load up by 1 1/2 lbs on 6 sticks and added 2' of extra length. They are also rated for much more poundage than Lone Wolf Straps and no buckles to bang together.
I also just bought a tree saddle, and I have been practicing with it. It is very easy to use and very comfortable. Just another tool in my mobile way of hunting. I never leave a stand out, and what I carry in each hunt, goes out after each hunt. Deer can't pattern me, as I have no pattern. The best time in a stand, is always the 1st time I sit in a stand. It is always the 1st time for me. Since I adopted this type of hunting, I have been having success like I have never known before. Good hunting everyone, and be safe!!

Don't forget what tree you put them on if you decide to leave them overnight. You'll never find them.
Man they look fantastic! Great job on the tape Andy (Diesel77, Ultimate Camo)! !

These UCR's are really neat and I bought them late last year and used them on my last hunt of the season. They enabled me to hunt this tree, as it was the only real decent tree in the area and it was too big in diameter for a stock LW strap to get around. Here is the result from that tree on that late, bitterly cold, afternoon set; one of the biggest does I have ever taken.

First, wow - you really like to get high. That's too high for me.
Second, is that rope strong enough? What is the break strength on that?
The rope we use on the Muddy sticks is 9mm and rated to over 3,800 lb. break strength. Those look a little thin to me!
Be careful with anything home-made. It hasn't been through TMA testing which ensures it's safe!

About the ropes:
These ropes work off of the hollow core rope constriction principal. There is an inner rope, which I'm calling the static line, and there is the outer rope which I call the constrictor. When tension is applied to the loop on the constrictor, it grabs the static line and will not slip. This works almost identical to a prussic hitch on a static line. If you've used a prussic, these will feel almost identical in use and how they are adjusted.
Each rope has an eye loop on each end. The loops will come standard with eyes that are 2" long. Longer eye loops can be ordered, just let me know what you need (for such things as dog leashes). The standard, fully extended, UCR length is 6'-0", loop to loop (much like a bowstring). I can do custom lenghts as needed, see pricing below. The rope material I'm using is 1/4" black rope, that has a special coating on it to give it color and to make it soft and pliable. The only color I'm offering at this time is black (it turns grey with use, so don't worry about the color change, it doesn't effect the rope). The 1/4" rope material that I use to make them is rated for 3200 lbs of tensile strength, however the UCR assemblies are/should be rated for less than that.
