Heck yeah!! 💪

@@rorycalhoun8011 pretty awesome! I love things that have multiple uses.

Not real sure. I don’t see it on the website yet

Very good to know! I can’t wait to get mine on my backup bow! Unfortunately gonna be mid season before I can mess with it. But I’m excited nonetheless! These success stories are hyping me up! Thanks for watching Curt!

@@thor777mx sweet! I’m a stickler about matching camo 😂 so I’m glad mine was solid

Huh? 🤔

@@robzmancave the built in hoody with face mask, tight material on the arms for archers lightweight, the list goes on and on. Its basically a sitka top

Hope to see you back soon brother! But until then you can live vicariously through me 😂

I think that the HECS would be more suitable for congested vegetation, like lower to the ground or early/mid season when the leaves are more full. Whereas the WTF would likely be more suitable for hunting in the treetops mid to late season when the leaves are gone. Not saying that either wouldn’t work in both situations. Just my thoughts

@@robzmancave for suree! I jus never wanted to wear another layer to see if the hecs was legit even years back when i first heard about it. But i also dont do any spot and stalk unfortunately…all northeast saddle hunting public whitetail. Thanks for bringing us along showing all the new stuff to hit the industry!

Yeah it’s tough to take a dive into something when you are used to something else. Thanks for following along bud! Btw, got a monster giveaway coming up!!! Follow Close on my facebook page!

@@robzmancave sweet! Will do

That’s awesome! I probably would have preferred the mud color, but I’m definitely good with the slate. Haven’t had a chance to play with my jetboil yet

Thank you brother!!!

@@ospreyoutdoors2225 I appreciate your time! Pleasure is all mine!

Not my product, but I see what you are saying. I also one stick. If this had a really easy way of jumping over limbs it would wipe out sticks all together. BUT for us southern boys, who hunt in the “land of the pines” 😂 this thing is perfect.

Love my EWO!!! 💪

Pretty pricey, but comes with a lifetime warranty

@@robzmancave Im not bashing. Lifetime warranty is a plus but a man has still got to eat. Lol

🤣

I think it would be manageable, but still a pain. Would be easier than a full climber for sure tho.

😆

@robzmancave It does look like nice camo. Sorry for the harsh comment lol. You know how the fisherman and hunting stories go lol. If I didn't already have new camo, I would purchase your camo. I just don't know what camo is the best. Every camo company always say theirs is the best. You do make some good arguments about your style of pattern. But what makes your camo different from the Veritago camo back in the day?

@@ryanpate6215 it’s not my camo, I am the one that interviewed them. I do think that there is something to the pattern tho. Should break up sky lit silhouette pretty good. The folks are really cool and down to earth!

Great to hear!

Any decent camo is going to be pricey.

@@JohnA-sd7ug I have about 600 bucks in new camo. It looks to be about 400 bucks to get into this camo. I also pieced mine together after the season ended for the past 2 years.

I love it! Just saving up to make the price jump

Designed while smoking pot

Not sure about that…

Agreed

You are right, it wasn’t the camo they were seeing. It’s the silhouette. And that’s the whole point of camo, is to break up the silhouette and blend with the environment. Sure, you can take your recurve and your plaid flannel out and shoot deer. But you aren’t always going to have perfect cover. I don’t really care what camo you buy or don’t buy.

@@zb5715 thank you!! For what it’s worth, the straps carry my one stick which is about 7lb, with no issue. Something I strap my bow to it. I think it would be fine if you can figure out how to strap it all on there

It is great quality!

It will work with any saddle. In fact, it doesn’t require a saddle to use it. But it is a saddle accessory. It would not hinder movement around the tree because your tether still hooks up the same way. Very cool setup.

@@robzmancave I might preorder test it out. How does it work on bigger trees

I agree! This is a superior method of climbing. And if you just disconnect it and hang it from your saddle and rappel down. I believe that would be fastest up AND down. And potentially the safest.

​@robzmancave You are right about that, that will make it fast. I think if more well-known companies get involved and make their own version. This market may blow up to be something Huge🎯

@@enjoytheoutdoors1018 We are with you - did the same with the seat of a climber for years. Getting it strapped/stable was sometimes a pain and we also thought it was so obvious large companies would come after this. Patience is not always our strength, so we decided to file for patent and go after it. The post and adjustable pitch (with the bolt) makes a huge difference vs. our modified climber seat.

Actually you are wrong. You cannot make a climber rigid like a platform. They cannot handle side pressure. This is a climbing PLATFORM.

@robzmancave lol a summit climber will 100% take my full body weight of side pressure. Ive used one for 20 plus years and to get the clearance I sometimes need with my 62 inch longbow, I have to get clear off to the side of the stand... With zero issues.

@@matthunter1667 Are you using a saddle with your foot platform? I love my Summit climber but I don't think that it would take the side loading of using a saddle and leaning out.

Wouldn’t that be crazy!

It's gonna be pretty awesome! Super light! And being able to put the angles on the side is very nice!

Yes he is! Ive been watching him for a few years.

I agree, it's the safest way. I hope to see what he does with Ape Canyon!

@kevinanderson4610 Changing the way we think is job 1. And with knowledge, we make tactical changes to increase our safety. Regarding kits, ApeCanyon will be introducing some kits, but unlike every other system you might purchase, I insist that climbers take the responsibility to tie their own knots. They don't need to be tied in the woods, but they do need to be tied. In every other climbing discipline, climbers take that responsibility. They also need to know how to untie them and how to inspect their cords and ropes, because friction hitches don't last forever. I realize this task is daunting to some, but it's not a whole lot more difficult than tying our shoes. And once we get it down, the pride we feel is immense. Cheers and thanks.

You Got It!!

Pretty Slick!

I agree! He is very knowledgeable, and is very safety oriented! Glad I could help you be at the expo remotely!

I don't know anything about this...

Mockery goes against my values. I don't engage in it. Nor do I engage in debates with someone making a false accusation. My reputation in the saddle community is well earned. I help anyone I can. Don't expect another reply. Just wanted to set the record straight.

I find this hard to believe. My first interaction with John was my concern over the slack involved with one stick climbing. There was a good bit of discussion about how to accomplish this between a group of a few people. It seemed everyone showing interest in this became involved in this group. I have no first hand knowledge of what went down between the two of you but I highly doubt he blew you off. I’ve had a couple conversations on the phone with John about this at his request as his objective has always been to help everyone climb safer. Ive never felt it was his intention to be the only one to receive recognition for this. I can’t even begin to express my thanks for the time and money he’s spent in his busy life to help everyone climb safer.

@@robzmancave I know that. You're a cool dude and you're killing it.

@@jrbtc That is a lie! You mocked me in your video (jrb climbing in 100 degree heat). I was the butt of your "smack talk joke" You know your first attempt at humor. Your words.

Im certain he has done something like that for sure

Yes, that's what we do, climb on the same rope you hunt off of, then rappel, either SRT or DSRT. Several systems, methods . I use the Maverick hitch and jrb 5-2-3 ascender hitch with SRT to climb then munter to rappel backed up with the same 5-2-3 hitch.

I think so too!

@@user-gu1rq2lw2n probably just website maintenance. I got an email a day or so ago updating on this months box. When did you purchase the subscription?

@@robzmancaveI purchased it Sunday do they send out tracking information for the boxes

@@user-gu1rq2lw2n if you purchased inside of the month of August, you will receive your first box in September. The cutoff to receive the August box was July 31st. Essentially every month you pay for the next months box. They normally send an email with tracking but not always. I recommend creating a FedEx account and sign up for text shipping notification. Doing this you will get a text update on all FedEx packages. But it is a good way to be notified when your huntvault box is getting ready to ship.

Thanks! Yeah last year my mics were sub par! Much better setup this year. Always improving! 😉

@@robzmancave it wasn’t your mics lol. It was where he positioned it under his chin. His beard was eating it the whole time 🤣 Lav mics can be a pain sometimes 🤷🏻‍♂️

@@EasternWild 😂 oh yeah! I tried to edit as much of it as I could out. The dead cats would have helped, but I forgot them. 🤦‍♂️

@@robzmancave shame on you 😜 it happens 🤷🏻‍♂️

Thank you!!!

I can’t answer that question just yet, but once I get mine mounted and try it out, I will do a review video. I will make sure to put that in there.

Yes you can shoot with both eyes open.. Just like a scope or pins.. your dominate eye is going to take over so you will still see the sight picture. Once I go past 50/60yds I do tend to close an eye..

@@chucklewis5396 thanks for the response here! Great info!

Here ya go buddy. This link will take you to the post on Facebook that you will need to post the screenshot on. Let me know if you need help facebook.com/share/PoVdCSVfKAefSqGN/?mibextid=WC7FNe

Thanks man! You get entered?

These are the kind of reports I’m looking for! I’m looking forward to trying it out! Thank you!
