Benefits of the One Stick Climbing Method

The one stick climbing method for saddle hunting has major advantages over using multiple tree stand climbing sticks. From the lack of weight to less gear clutter and noise, One sticking is a great climbing method for both saddle hunters and tree stand hunters looking to stay efficient, mobile, and light.

Weight Savings: One of the biggest reasons most hunters switch to the one stick climbing method is becuase of the weight savings. Depending on where and how you hunt, saving those extra pounds/ounces can be important.

Less Noise: Less gear means less chance for unwanted noise. Stealth strip a B.O.B. or SH1KAR and pair it with a 3 step climbing stick aider and there won't be a tree you can't conquer.

Climb Higher: While not always neccessary, the one stick climbing method will let you climb higher to saddle hunt. The only limit is the ammount of tree you have to climb or the ammount of safety rope you brought with you.

Advantages Of Saddle Hunting

  • Extremely Lightweight Tree Saddles: Tree Saddles are lightweight, making you more mobile. Perfect for the Public Land Owner! Make sure to check out our new Ultra-Light saddle hunting steps for the ultimate lighweight hunting pack. 
  • Little to no noise: With tree saddle, you don’t get the noise typically associated with pulling up tree stands.
  • Hunters Safety: While there have been lots of hunters who have fallen from conventional tree stands, when saddle hunting you are tethered to the tree from the moment you leave the ground until you step back on it after the hunt, making it almost impossible to fall.

Finish your saddle hunting kit with these accessories.

    Big Bob

    Published by Tony Mills on 10th Oct 2022

    I love what I have seen so far. The only thing I would change is adding a rubber ball to the end of the amsteel so it is easier to throw around the tree. Tethrd does this on the daisy chain. I am actually going to see if I can get one from them

    Another Great Product

    Published by Joe B on 1st Oct 2022

    This stick is just awesome. I started one sticking this year, and the Big B.O.B. makes it so easy. This stick is super solid on the tree, and the adjustable platform is easy on the feet and ankles. OOAL knocked it our of the park.

    Great One Stick

    Published by Toby Chamberlain on 7th Sep 2022

    I have tried it out a couple of times and it is real easy to work with one sticking. Sticks to the tree like crazy and is rock solid! Plenty of foot room. Can’t wait to make some long hunts with it this season.

Is the Big B.O.B. considered a one-stick?
Yes, the BIG B.O.B. is what we consider a one-stick. This “One-Stick” is often used by itself to climb the tree and as a platform (although not technically considered one).
Can the Big B.O.B. be used as a platform?
While we do not classify the BIG B.O.B as a platform, it can be used in a similar fashion.
How does the Big B.O.B. handle side pressure?
The BIG B.O.B. was designed to handle all types of pressure applied at different angles, especially side pressure.
Should I cam over the Big B.O.B. when attaching to the tree?
NO!!! DO NOT CAM THE BIG B.O.B. It is not meant to be hung like this. To secure the Big B.O.B., simply attach it to the tree like you would any normal climbing stick. No need to cam, although by raising platform slightly, slide stick down slightly then fold platform down, secures stick to the tree. Do not tighten amsteel with platform up as damage could occur to stick itself.
Do people use SHIKARs with the Big B.O.B.?
While not technically a platform. Some hunters do use the Big B.O.B. with other SHIKAR climbing sticks, both Standard and FXD versions.
What straps are recommended for attaching the Big B.O.B.?
We recommend using 1/8” or 3/16” Full Bury Amsteel paired with a Harken Cam Cleat for the most secure and easy to use attachment method.
Can I use a climbing stick aider with the Big B.O.B.?
Yes, the Big B.O.B. and all other one-sticks and climbing sticks are designed to use our 1, 2 or 3 step aider. You can find those here.
