I didn’t know the weight limit on the gear hook was just 100. It handled 200 just fine but I guess I should use a carabiner and short webbing loop next time. Lol. I also had a tether around the tree connected to my harness by a grigri. Even if the clip failed and the aider popped off I wouldn’t have fallen.How many clips are you using? Great ingenuity. I know the clips on the site say they can handle hundreds of pounds.
Moving the tether up the tree can be kind of slow but I like how secure it feels and with a grigri I can easily rappel down or ascend up to the top of my tether.
This is my first season hunting exclusively from a saddle. I’ve been trying lots of new things to figure out what will be my system. 7 deer down and a couple weeks to go. It’s been great!
