SRT | 1-Stick | Rappelling Kit

From: $0.00

The SRT Saddle Hunter Setup – Everything you need for SRT, 1-sticking, and rappelling in one place. These three go hand-in-hand for the ultimate run-and-gun setup. SRT when possible using presets (paracord) or using the 1-stick climbing method. Rappelling is the safest and fastest way out of the tree.

This kit is designed to be safe, “in spec”, easy to use and interchangeable no matter what you bring with you into the woods. See picture for everything in use currently by The SRT Saddle Hunter (shows optional Stealth Strips and some customizations).

For starters, the kit is designed around the Rappel gear. This will replace your tether and ascender/friction hitch. I use 40ft of 9mm Sterling Canyon C-IV, MadRock Safeguard, Madrock Super Tech Screw carabiner, Kong 8mm Quick Link, and 40ft of dynaGLIDE pull back rope. All of this gear is essential for me no matter how I climb. I’ve even used this gear while hunting hang-ons. Once you rappel, you’ll never want to climb down a set of sticks or steps in the dark.

The next piece of gear I add in with this is the 1-stick. A quality 1-stick is efficient, lightweight, packable, and versatile. A 1-stick paired with your rappel gear can get you into just about any tree. I use a 15″ FeatherStick paired with ultralight standoffs, ultralight bottom step with built-in 3-step aider, the top step is either an ultralight or Scout platform. I have been experimenting with both and find I really enjoy having the Scout on the top paired with 2 SquirrelSteps on an OCB strap. This is the best of both worlds. A platform as well as a ring of steps. Very comfortable and easy to maneuver around the tree. Also, the EWO stick with a cam cleat is soo solid to the tree that you can push off the backside without the stick budging. Don’t forget the one-stick rope made from 3/16″ Amsteel with a full bury.

Finally I add in the SRT equipment. The Kong Futura hand ascender is so small and packable. I use a Maillon Quick Link  to attach the Beal Air Step to the hand ascender. This gets wrapped up and left in my dump pouch. It’s always in my dump pouch even if I don’t plan on using it. If you drop your stick climbing or need to rappel down for any reason, its nice to have the hand ascender to climb back up. Before I leave the tree I am hunting I will leave behind a loop of paracord. If I ever plan to hunt that tree again I can always use the paracord loop to set my line so I can climb SRT.

Default quantities selected will give you everything you need except a saddle, lineman’s rope, and gear hanger. Everything is optional too, so you can uncheck items you already have.

Pictures and videos coming soon!

Sterling C-IV Canyon Rope

PLEASE DO NOT BUY MORE THAN 40' of CIV GREEN per order as those are the lengths we have left available.

ORANGE you can order what you would like

Sterling C-IV 9.0mm Canyon Rope - works great for SRT and rappel rope as well as for your tether/lineman ropes. Sold by the foot, enter quantity as the number of feet that you want and it will come in one continuous length. Since this rope is 9mm, we recommend the Kong Duck instead of the Ropeman for an ascender. For a prusik, use the Beal Jammy (available in 35cm/50cm/60cm), Beal 5.5mm Cordellette, or Sterling 6mm TRC. This rope is in spec for the MadRock Safeguard which can be used for rappelling down after your hunt.

New option - add a continuous loop of dynaGLIDE to the end to make it easier to use as a pull-up rope for your weapon or backpack. Choice of Orange or Green. Click here to add.

Mad Rock Safeguard

 

Mad Rock Safeguard - used for SRT (single rope technique) climbing and one stick climbing. This is the same as the Lifeguard without the spring.

Mad Rock Super Tech Screw Carabiner

NOTE: These are no longer available for 2022 - replaced with these similar carabiners: Singing Rock Colt Screw Gate or Black Diamond LiteForge

Mad Rock Super Tech Screw carabiner. Affordable carabiner with twist lock mechanism.

Quick Link - Delta

Delta quick link for use in 1-sticking and SRT for a girth hitch. Allows you to quickly attach your rope instead of feeding your whole line through your girth hitch. Better than a carabiner as there's no worry about cross-loading.

Multiple models available in plated steel or stainless steel (subject to availability):

Cypher Plated - 20kN
Maillon Rapide Plated - 27kN
Kong Stainless - 40kN

dynaGLIDE Throwline (1.8mm)

dynaGLIDE is a hollow braid throwline of pure Dyneema®. This throwline from TEUFELBERGER is coated and has a strong signaling effect due to its neon colors. The orange or green of the throwline provides for good visibility in the trees. Its coating ensures very little elongation and better gliding characteristics on bark.

The dynaGLIDE throwline impresses with:

  • Very high strength
  • Polyurethane coating for better abrasion resistance
  • Smooth surface gliding readily over rough bark
  • Good visibility due to neon colors

Sold by the foot, enter quantity as the number of feet that you want and it will come in one continuous length (up to 200').

 

FeatherStick

FeatherSticks are super lightweight without the holes. Build DIY sticks your way in your preferred size. 12" - 18" sizes make a great stick for "1-sticking." Click here for the perfect DoubleStep with a sewn in aider.

Lightened aluminum square tube in 6061. 1/8" wall thickness. These are available in the following lengths (12", 15", 18", 20", 22", and 24"). These have been machined to lighten the tubes in a unique pattern while maintaining maximum strength. Available in black anodize, raw aluminum, or camo dipped.

Climbing Stick Bracket

Climbing stick bracket/offset for use with 1" square tube to offset climbing stick away from the tree for foot placement. Sold individually and includes just the v-bracket, not the climbing stick or DoubleSteps shown in pictures. Includes mounting hardware.

Now with additional holes drilled through the bracket to lighten them from 4.2oz, Ultra lightweight design further reduces the weight to 3.1oz. Our ultralight design is for the lighter hunters, those over 250 pounds with gear should stick with our standard/heavy duty brackets.
NOTE: Please use our standard bracket in conjunction with a top-of-stick platform like The U.P., Scout, or Monarch.

  • Select the 5/16" version for use on Muddy Pro or XOP sticks, otherwise all other styles have a 1/4" bolt and hole for use on most other sticks.
  • NEW: Hawk Helium version for use on Hawk Helium regular and mini sticks.
  • Rotating design available that has ears removed to allow bracket to rotate. Allows bracket to be used on various sized tubes like 3/4" or 1.25".
  • Ultralight standoffs

DoubleStep Ultralight

Ultralight DoubleStep for making the ultimate DIY climbing sticks for hunting. Many also upgrade Lone Wolf sticks with these DoubleSteps, especially on the top step to be able to comfortably reach higher to place next stick.

Using on Lone Wolf sticks will require a replacement bolt. Use 1/4"-20 x 2", Grade 8. Might be able to get at your local hardware store or available here - Replacement bolt for Lone Wolf Stick. Note - you only need a replacement bolt at the top and bottom, not middle step. Be sure to re-use the plastic washer under the bolt head to prevent the rotating LW standoff from loosening your DoubleStep.

DoubleStep Slotted for Aider

Aider Friendly DoubleStep for making the ultimate DIY climbing sticks for hunting. This version of the DoubleStep has 1″ slots that are perfect for adding a webbing aider and come black anodized or camo dipped.

Pairs well with:
