The ultimate ultralight saddle?

[huntin_addict]

So are you going to use the entire yard to make the hammock seat?

Yes, figure I can bunch it up if I want.

Ripstop is pretty loud. Test sit this evening, had a doe and 2 fawns come in, I shifted as if to shoot. She never saw me, but she darn sure heard me.

fleece.

@DaveT1963,

How do you orient the stretchy part of the fleece? Top to bottom or left to right?

Thanks!

Front to back, if you do left to right it will stretch a lot when you sit down in it.

I did the stretch front to back as well figuring that I didn’t want my lanyard to have any additional stretch in it and with extra stretch going front to back I figured it should give some ease to hip pinch as it would stretch around it, maybe? Idk, what I figured anyway.

front to back

For the life of me, I can’t figure out how you would align fleece to stretch “front to back”. It seems to me that the lines of fiber run horizontal or vertical, when holding the fabric up stretched out.

Right. If you pull on it one way it stretches less then if you pull on it the other way. So the long stretch way I have going from my knees to back and the short stretch way from bridge end to bridge end.

So front to back means vertical, correct? I am confused with “front to back” term.

Thanks all for replies.

If verticals is the material directionally going form your knees to your butt and then up your back and horizontal is going from tied end (bunch end) to tied end......then yes. So if your sitting in the saddle front to back is from in front of you (under your thighs) running to behind you back and side to side is from hip to hip or the tied ends.

I made justsomedudes small version ultralight this last weekend and I’m impressed! It’s about as comfortable as my sit drag and scrunches up in my palm!

Just made a few fleece saddle's for myself and @rheusmc13 and in my haste got the stretch wrong....oh well, can't uncut it, lol.

Does the new info ever stop?
Good stuff.

So I ordered several yards of fleece and rip stop back when this thread began and played with it a little bit this summer but, then as always happens on this website new ideas and toys started being discussed and scavenged the continuous loops and bridge I was using for other projects and kind of forget about the fleece saddle.

Well yesterday I decided to hunt in the fleece saddle I made and WOW. I have never been that comfortable in either my Kestrel or sit drag. I am seriously considering selling my Kestrel. It also helped that I finally got to try out my Predator since my son wasn't hunting last night. Between the two of them it was my most comfortable hunt to date.

I really need to make a bunch of these for myself and my kids.

I want to do this. How much rope do I need to order for the bridge?

I agree! I didn’t order the Mantis heater because I’m planning to just use my fleece saddle under my Mantis. I think Mathis and the fleece is going to be fantastic when it’s cold.

It is funny that there is finally all of these options for saddle hunters and I am seriously considering going back to a $6 peice of fabric.
