    Tree Tether + Lineman’s DIY vs Buy

    Hey guys I wanted to follow up on this. I went the DIY route - I ended up talking with a friend who is an avid rock climber and showed him the linemen’s and tree tether I wanted to build; he said this was very easy to make but advised me to get professionally spliced Prusiks. I ordered 25’ of...

    Out On A Limb Ridge Runner Platform - Warning

    It was inside of the original box unused in a closet with the rest of my hunting gear until a couple weeks ago. I was only able to get it out and practice twice. Definitely didn’t sit in the elements fellas. :)

    Out On A Limb Ridge Runner Platform - Warning

    Absolutely right guys! We all get excited to get out there and use our gear and it’s easy enough to overlook our rope, straps, etc. I think it becomes even easier to overlook when we’re playing around in the yard with new equipment only going up a stick or so from the ground. We all know saddle...

    Out On A Limb Ridge Runner Platform - Warning

    Honestly I got my platform after the season ended so it sat around unused until I got it out to start practicing. This happened on my second use of the platform. I also agree with you entirely that this is not a reflection of OOAL or their quality. Their platform is incredibly well built and...

    The Heavy Arrow Movement is Flawed

    I’m not judging anyone’s setup - shoot whatever makes you all happy. That being said I am a firm believer in shooting fixed blade > mechanicals regardless of what weight arrow you choose to shoot. I shoot 750 gr arrows from a 31” DL/60# bow. I’ve got my bow sighted in out to 60 yards which was...

    Out On A Limb Ridge Runner Platform - Warning

    Hey guys, I’m not trashing the platform so please keep that in mind - I think it’s very well made and dang near bullet proof. On Monday I got some good climbing rope, new Prusiks, etc and whipped up a new linemen’s belt and tree tether. Has a rock climbing buddy check the knots, make sure...

    New to saddle hunting from Kentucky

    Very cool! Did you get your saddle yet? I’d be happy to let you try out my AeroHunter Kestrel Flex if you haven’t had a chance to try a saddle yet. I do a lot of public land hunting (Peabody, Knobs, etc) maybe I’ll see ya out there!

    New to saddle hunting from Kentucky

    Welcome! Where about in Kentucky are you from? I’m over in Bullitt County right outside of Louisville.

    Tree Tether + Lineman’s DIY vs Buy

    Glad I’m not the only one! Personally I hate heights and like you being strapped to the tree the entire time and feeling that rope tension makes me feel a whole lot better. I took a lot of bow shots in my 20’ stand sitting because I hated standing up in the thing even with the safety line. I’m...

    Hello from Guam.

    Welcome Mitch! Sounds like you have a wonderful environment for hunting. I wouldn’t want the damage that hogs would bring to my area but I’m also immensely jealous of folks who can hunt hogs year round! This is a good place with lots of good people. Hope you enjoy your stay with us! Patrick...

    Tree Tether + Lineman’s DIY vs Buy

    Amen to that. Thanks for sharing your opinion! Safety is the number one priority and it should be for all of us. Honestly safety is the primary reason I started getting into saddle hunting. I wasn’t sure if there was an easy option for DIY so I still figured it was worth asking. If not it’s...

    Tree Tether + Lineman’s DIY vs Buy

    That makes perfect sense to me. I used a lot of climbing gear when I was doing search and rescue but I wasn’t the guy setting the lines or equipment. I’d rather spend $120 vs $80 and risk ending up with a broken neck. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Tree Tether + Lineman’s DIY vs Buy

    Hey everyone, I’ve been using my Hunter Safety System tree tether but it’s 20’ long, heavy, and really designed to be a permanent rope setup for a tree stand. I wouldn’t want to lug around a 20’ section of rope onto public land and fumble around with it setting it up in a tree. I’m using an...
