    Shikar or One Stick?

    Running beast sticks and they have been great. Considering a lighter more packable option... any thoughts between a Shikar or a Tethrd One? Thanks, Tom

    Why an adjustable bridge?

    So I've been at this for a few years now thanks to Ontario hunter. I have a very comfy kestrel. I'm wondering why there is so much hype around an adjustable bridge. I think mine came with one when I bought it along with a biner on the opposite side. I can hardly remember though as I removed the...

    Tether climbing?

    Probably already been discussed but I searched for it and found no clear link. In our continued efforts to reduce weight and bulk, and pack further in, why not use two teathers to climb.. rope or webbing? Much like one sticking, without the stick. Im pretty sure I saw a video on youtube with the...

    revisiting tether and LMB weight

    Certainly the heaviest part of my set up and looking to lighten things. I have a stock aerohunter tether and LMB. Does anyone know the weight of these and how they compare to the tethred versions? I think teathred says their teather is 11 oz. while the LMB is 13oz. Does anyone have even lighter...

    Lets Talk Amsteel

    Ok, I need some help here from those that know far more than me. I have not used Amsteel. I have a kestral with a stock bridge, tether and LMB. These are heavy with carabiners, and ropemans! How much lighter is amsteel than this sort of line in a comparable breaking strength? How well do...

    Transporting saddles/packs

    Wondering how many wear their saddle to their hunting spot versus, packing it in. I find walking in my saddle makes it slide down while walking, so I am packing it in (It will actually end up at my ankles). This leads me to want to know about packs. I am not happy with the pack I use. It seems...

    Lines, Friction and reducing wear

    As a long time windsurfer, I have used a hardness for decades. On my hardness lines, I have plastic tube covers to prevent chaffing, wear and breaking. These plastic tubes also keep the shape of the line consistent. Has anyone considered a similar thing for either the bridge, the attachment to...

    Breath Cleansing?

    Any strategies? It would seem obvious that breath is likely the #1 source of odor.. how do you deal with this? Also, does anyone have any data on scent retention rates? How long scents last on surfaces? Tom

    ozone and scent control

    Some questions re ozone from ozone users. A. what type of generator are you using? B. Where did you get it? C. For the Ozone DIY... does ozone weight more than other gases in air. Will it settle over clothing in a bin or rise through them? D. How do you treat your boots if they are rubber or...

    safety lines on established trees?

    I have always used a full safety line on trees that I have stands in so I am attached from the ground up, and back down. Once I have a stand in place, I put the rope in and secure it the bottom of the tree so I simply slide my prussic up as I ascend and down for descending. Going to a saddle...

    How steep is too steep?

    I have a tree I want to set up in, but it is on a pretty steep angle. How steep is too steep of a tree to set up in? Does it matter? I realize swinging around the tree will be tough, but that is not an issue for this set. Thanks, Tom

    New XOP platform

    So, new to saddle hunting I got an XOP seat and Ernies set up. Ernie was GREAT to work with as the seat I ordered is a new model and it has some small changes to an older model. (Thank you Ernie) Everything seems good except, the tabs attached on the outside of the platform are uneven. On one...

    Platform to sticks orientation

    As a new to be saddle hunter... I have a Kestral coming and an Ernie kit, I am wondering what people do for the set-up of the platform once at height on the sticks. I will be using LW sticks that I already have and have used for many years. Do you, place your platform above the highest step...

    Stand without the stand for a platform?

    I have a few LW stands but I am going to try a saddle. I am wondering if anyone has simply removed the stand platform from a tree stand to make a saddle platform? This would leave a standard length shaft with the seat/platform on the top... any thoughts? Pros - I already have it - save me $$ -...
