    XOP Platform kits?

    LOL I can wait an thank you for responding that far away. The saddle platform looks perfect for some natural ground blind operations as well as in the tree. I stood on my xop lock on to see how i liked it and it was 180 degrees world of difference and much more comfortable. Good luck and get a...

    Hawk helium sticks

    I did the same as Red2Delta. I simply used a 1/4" dia reamer and the hardwear fit perfectly. I am using 3/8 amsteel till the 8mm static arrives. After reading through the post i figured better safe than sorry. As for the sticks I like them when wearing boots but not so much in running shoes...

    ISC D4 Descender

    Can you show a pic and list the parts you use ? I have read several post and looked at some arborist forums but the setups I see them using appear to be bulky. Thanks for the video.

    SRT Questions vs modded Helium stiks

    We dont use SRT as we use a motorized winch to ascend from a hole. All else we use ladders or rappel to the victim. That said how would you quiet down the metal contact? Have yall refined the system for weight and efficiency for hunting? Whats the initial cost and most common brands and setups...

    Better attachment accessories for the Kestrel

    I use the smallest nite eyz clip without issue on the same setup with my rescue gloves. It may not be for everyone but I like it.

    How long have you been hunting out of a saddle?

    Not a single day but lots of hours hanging from one in training and on scene preforming high angle rescue. I was on a cell tower at 175' up once and as i was observing the scene below the thought of hunting from the class 3 harness did occur to me! Since then I have been reading and listening to...

    Ring mod on kestrel

    Once the kestrel arrives I plan to splice an eye to the right side of the saddle and leave the blakes hitch but swap in one of my ultralight carabiners ( 5k plus lbs life rated with locking gate ) Same for the tree strap. That will clean up the knots, weigh less and not have any metal to metal...

    Better attachment accessories for the Kestrel

    I have used clips and D rings designed like the ones that go with the kestrel and like the simplistic attachment.
