Title: Gravity Forward climbing sticks.
Post by: larry f on January 02, 2022, 06:17:02 PM
I have one set of these sticks and have not been able to find anymore, I think the company probably went out of business. Anyone out there have any information on where to get them would be appreciated.
Thanks Larry

Do you have a picture you can post ? I’ve never heard of that brand, might be sold under another name ?

I know what you are asking about (Hurricane Systems?) but I also think they have stopped production. Given that I hunt almost 100% private land, alternatively I usually buy the 15' metal top ladder stands at Sportsman Guide and merely hang a stand off to one side of them. It serves the same function and gets me about 16' or 17' feet.

I started this when my children were very young for a safe ascent method into the tree and just never stopped doing it. Now that I'm "old" I find it very reassuring to have an easy way to get into a portable. I always use a HSS safety line and the whole thing can be taken down and moved to another location is about an hour.

I have actually used the system on public land as well but it isn't as practical in most cases.

 It sounds like they are out of business, I was hoping they might be made by a different company. I would post a picture but the one I own is in a tree. I may have to go the ladder stand route.

I just did a quick search, and on Amazon I saw "Hurricane Gravity Forward Climbing Sticks".  Not sure if they are the same as what you are asking about.
