So I am looking to move from my climber to a hang on and sticks. The bloodsport and muddy sticks (rope system) has my attention. I searched this forum and see a few posts but everyone is all in on Lone Wolf for the most part, but that rope system looks slick. My once concern is rope give / slip. I am 236 lbs with no gear, how tough are the bloodsport stands / rope system. How secure are the, might be a mental block I have to the rope system, but it should work fine. Thanks.
Its all I use any more. I even switched out to a rope system on my muddy 32" sticks. The blood sport has become my go too stand for packing in. I have had no problem with any slippage, and as far a toughness and durability it hasn't been and issue at all. they are well built. The biggest plus for me is the dead silent set up of the rope and cleat system. At this post i have moved my LW over and leave them out and set up....I like the blood sport that much. I carry the Blood Sport stand with three 32" muddy sticks, on the first stick I attach a 5 foot adder and that set up gets me up to about 15-17 feet, set up and hunting in less then 15 minutes...its silent and lite weight.
They are a awsome set up. I can have 5 sticks and a stand hung in less the 10min. Once you tie the knots it shows you to they are not slipping. Once they get pressure pulling down the knots tighten up so there is no slipping.
to carry less sticks i place my first stick as high as i possibly can then I attach this with a carbiner .... BLACK DIAMOND Alpine Aider Etriers - Eastern Mountain Sports
