    2tc vs one sticking

    Some people aren’t comfortable standing with one leg wrapped around the tree, it is why there is a market for double stirrups. And with double stirrups, the draw back has mostly been the legs spreading and straddling the tree. We had some similar complaints in years past with the guys trying out...

    2tc vs one sticking

    You should lead the movement. @always89y , @tailgunner and you could all make some fantastic you tube tutorials and let’s all share it across our social media pages….. I know there are a few videos out there but a lot of manufacturers are gonna push the sale of sticks (or one stick set ups) for...

    Side load carabiner test

    Correct, The choking the tree would theoretically be weaker than a drop on a correct carabiner orientation though. Obviously the width of the tree would play a factor in the angle the carabiner is pulled in but anyway you slice it, it is a multidirection pull even if it’s not truly “side...

    Side load carabiner test

    While I agree that being injured is more likely while using sticks, I dare say the biggest threat is our own bad habits and complacency while ascending and descending. Also, In most of my testing the carabiner broke before the rope or the stitching on the saddles. Again this is with everything...

    Thanks man. Honestly I am just glad that a safety first company wanted to continue the builds. I am unsure what I can and can’t say. I do not work for ACO or sell their products, but it is my design and I do get a small small percentage of the sells from the saddle so I guess that qualifies me...

    Another new saddle maker out and about for the ultralight guys. The saddle is the exact same shape as the Tethrd phantom. 1” waist belt. Amsteel utilibridge *** edit- evidently I was wrong, the bridge is not the utilibridge style with a prusik, it’s actually using the same size amsteel and tied...

    While checking out the press release for the saddle, I also noticed that Ape Canyon Outfitters will be releasing a backpack and a quiver. I was told the pricing will be $129.99 for the Conclave backpack and $87.99 for the quiver. I saw some pics of it on Instagram.

    What did you do today that’s related to saddle hunting?

    Yes sir that’s the original. I don’t really work on them anymore or build or sell anymore, but for any member of this forum, I’m willing to help out anyway I can. It’s a minimalist saddle, it’s not as comfy as the deluxe but for run and gun hunting, it’s pretty sweet and it dries quickly. The...

    What did you do today that’s related to saddle hunting?

    If you wanted, I would have swapped out the open bridge for the standard one. Just curious if you the original or deluxe saddle? I am a fan of the 8mm predator that hang free is selling. A great bridge option would be that or oplux (2 pieces, one at 38” long and one at 24”) with a 8” eye so you...

    What did you do today that’s related to saddle hunting?

    He’s doing it to keep the weeds and growth off of his access trail. I’ve heard of private land guys doing that as part of their spring prep work

    Is that @always89y at the top in the loin cloth saddle? He said it was a dare, but deep down I think he liked the freedom of movement :sweatsmile:

    Tethrd - saddle buy back

    Buy the used out of date saddles for $100 off a purchase of theirs. Then right before hunting season have some guys list them here in the classifieds for $175.. Great money making idea

    Favorite Hunting Clothing Brand (where you like the camo pattern)

    This is true but hunting clothes were also designed with hunters in mind. The materials, pocket placements ect are specific to the activity.
