    The Wraptor

    I understand that now! I would concur that the way you have it configured is the way I use my saddle as well (but mine is the original Anderson and I have a Recon). The upper panel (A&B) is the one I adjust the "depth" of my seat, with the lower panel (C&D) hardly ever moving during my sits...

    The Wraptor

    Check out these "mods", essentially just adding an Anderson style belt. Pretty easy. I would imagine you would want the overlap to be on the bottom of the bottom most panel, such that it would be easier to sew molle, linemans loops, etc. on the upper of the uppermost panel. Still not...

    The Wraptor

    Followed everything except the part quoted above. I understand the 4 layers in two of the ladder parts and 3 in the remaining. I guess I'm not following you on the "inside" portion, unless you are referring to one of the "panels" being inside versus outside, and having the outside one...

    The Wraptor

    NMSbowhunter, Great work! Where is the overlap of the 2" webbing, as I can't see it in the pictures? Have you thought about sewing one of the ends of the bridge, thus eliminating one of the tri-glides? I know Eberhart sews both of this bridge ends, as he says that once he has settled on a...

    Frog Survey

    There was in fact a survey being done by Steve Niemela regarding the foothill yellow-legged frogs. Some info can be found here regarding Steve Niemela and the survey: https://www.fs.fed.us/r6/sfpnw/issssp/documents2021/inv-rpt-ha-rfaba-boylii-keehnetal-20210507.pdf So it appears that the...

    Frog Survey

    So does Steve Neimela (the Conservation Strategy Implementation Biologist ) work for both the Kentucky DFW and the Oregon DFW? Something seems "froggy", I mean fishy, to me. Not only that, but Larry and Amanda Anderson seem to have addresses in both Kentucky and Oregon. While humorous, I...

    The Wraptor

    I have not tried a one continuous loop version, but I will say that option 2 (Anderson and Recon design) is more comfortable and easier to adjust for me than option 1 (two independent loops). Option 3 is easier to sew as you only have one place to connect the ends of the loops versus 2 for...

    NMSbowhunter, If you carefully look at the Recon, it is not made with one continuous loop, but with two loops, as shown by Bwhana in post 370. This is exactly the same way that the original Anderson sling is made (I have two Anderson slings as well as a Recon to confirm). The connections of...

    The Wraptor

    Shot Thru, The original Anderson design is constructed with two loops, not one continuous webbing loop. The two loops are formed as such. Loop one is for the top uppermost strap and the lower bottommost strap with Loop two being the two middle straps. The vertical ladders are then sewed to...

    Tethrd One Climbing Sticks

    DanielB89, Sorry you missed the context of ImThere's question. He implied that Tethrd (with the example of the the Teach and Trains) is doing more for the saddle hunting community than any one else. I gave several examples of others who I believe do more. If you don't like them, great...

    Tethrd One Climbing Sticks

    From the ASTM F3249 -20 Standard Specification for Treestands, Climbing Sticks, Tripod or Tower Stands https://www.astm.org/Standards/F3249.htm 1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this...

    Tethrd One Climbing Sticks

    Who's condemning? I was pointing out that doing the Teach and Trains was self-promotion and not necessarily as doing more for the saddle community in contrast to Eberhart or RedSquirrel. It's not like they are a non-profit organization out to teach and train saddle hunters. The expenses that...

    Tethrd One Climbing Sticks

    Not a company, but two people come to mind. First, I would say John Eberhart. He has written books, magazine articles, interviews, bootcamps, DVDs, etc. highlighting his DIY sling. His bootcamp could be considered a Teach and Train at the highest level. Second, Red Squirrel who founded this...

    Ordered a Recon, how has everyone improved upon it?

    You could reroute the webbing such that the webbing still pulls from the outside, but you would still have the issue of the curved piece being on the inside. You would have to take the webbing completely out and reroute it, rather than just flipping the G hook. But is that curve really an...

    Ordered a Recon, how has everyone improved upon it?

    Luckylakes, As you can see in the first picture, that G-hook is coming up through the bottom of the leg loop connector, rather than from the top. Compare that to your other side where the G hook is coming in from the top of the leg loop connector. The connections of the right and left leg...
