    WTT JX3 HYBRID

    Brand new Size 2. I'll keep it for a backup if I can't find a JX3 to trade for my boy. We both have and used the original Kestrels last year and like them very much. This Flex would get the nod over the Kestrel for use this year, if I wasn't giving the JX3 a run. Bad back and bad knees are...

    WTT JX3 HYBRID

    I'm the guy willing to trade my new Kestrel Flex size 2 for a good JX3. Also $ to make it right.

    Full Redundant Backup for Entire Saddle - 0.8 lbs.

    Yep - makes perfect sense. Probably going to find the most minimal, non-intrusive backup harness I can for my son and I and give that a run. Gotta decide on a good, lightweight backup tether and prusik.

    Full Redundant Backup for Entire Saddle - 0.8 lbs.

    Curious, doesn't the LB continuously fall down when hunting? You must keep it tight or have a hook on the opposing side of the tree to drape it over? if you go from sitting to leaning, aren't you constantly having to adjust the length of that LB? Regarding falling over backwards, there are...

    Full Redundant Backup for Entire Saddle - 0.8 lbs.

    Yeah - I'm thinking a second, smaller tether would be a nice backup. Either looped twice through the spliced eye to help keep it in place, or maybe even just placed ABOVE the primary tether, but it still may dislodge and fall down a bit when moving around the tree. Castration band or similar...

    Full Redundant Backup for Entire Saddle - 0.8 lbs.

    The OP is spot on in my opinion. A recent fall was reported on FB. And yes, that gent may have used an improper knot on his bridge, but the fact is, sh!t can happen out there. Absolutely NOTHING wrong with redundancy. Tell you this, with all the new folks I see jumping into saddle hunting...

    Getting your harvest out

    A cart for me in the Southern Ohio Hills; but I'd like to try a sled too.

    John Eberharts Scent Control

    I personally believe John's approach of focusing on things other than the wind is correct, but likely for the wrong reasons. I always got a kick out of guys that say they NEVER hunt without the wind in their face. Give me a break. Even Drury's suggest they'll 'bail on a hunt' if the wind...

    The Saddle Shootout

    I couldn't agree more. I'd be very interested in a revised Mantis that fit more like my Kestrel. I think the overall shape of the seat needs revised and the trajectory/size of the bridge loops might need tweaked IMO. My Kestrel stays-put 1,000x's more. Only way for me not to continually...

    Tether'd Nation Saddle & Platform

    Congrats again, Dave! Well done. Way to stay after it.

    DIY platform

    I personally think you could skip the grating. Does it really add much benefit? The detractor is potential for noise when cold and when dragging a boot across it. I think it'd be nearly as functional without that grating. JMO

    OnX works awesome without cell service too. Just download the map in advance; just like GAIA.
