    Do I need stopper knots after figure 8 knots?

    See the pictures. I have figure 8s on everything. It is on my sit drag bridge, tree tether, lineman's rope, and rappel rope. Do I really need all of those stopper knots on everything or is it safe to just have the figure 8 knot alone?

    Misty Mountain Cadillac RC Harness

    I bought one to pair with my Sit Drag. Let me tell you, if you want a harness to pair with the Sit Drag then this is the one. It is so comfortable and easy. I bought the one without the quick release buckles so it does take a little time to put on (like 1-2 minutes). I really love it. Also...

    Cambium Saver/ Tree Saver, Rope Saver

    When girth hitched to the trunk of the tree, does anyone use a cambium saver to help with the friction on the rope? This is to ease friction to make the rope more retrievable from the ground. This would also save wear and tear on the rope. Who does this?

    Use Ropeman 1 as an Autoblock?

    So I was thinking the other day that using a Ropeman 1 as an autoblock would be less fiddly than using the hollowblock sling. Of course, this is in a rappel situation. I am going to try this and report back. Does anyone that rappels see any issues with this?

    Screw in step platform positions, how many?

    I did a search on this and really did not get anything. When using screw in steps, how many do you use and at what positions (as on a clock) do you use them around the tree? I am fairly new to this, and I want to see the positions everyone else uses.

    Triple Fishermans Knot for Bridge?

    So I am making a bridge out of climbing rope for my Sit Drag. I just need a short one so I made a loop with a triple fishermans knot in it. This will be attached using carabiners on each side of the Sit Drag. So I can remove it or swing it to the side as needed. I will then have a carabiner on...

    New Saddle Hunter from Tennessee

    Hey, everyone. Thunder81 here. I am a long time hunter. I bow hunt only and I exclusively use run and gun style setups. That is why I am here. I initially bought a sit and drag and liked it. I have a Kestrel on order. I love the saddle style hunting and it will greatly improve my 2017-2018 season.
