    Barren Ridge saddle climber.....anyone use?

    Carry all three cables?? Depends, and remember I havn't had it in the woods hunting, here's my plan. If I have scouted and found a tree, then I'll know which cable fits the tree I want to get up. If I'm going in cold then I'll carry all three. The cables are light a relatively small and...

    Barren Ridge saddle climber.....anyone use?

    The one I have, that JoyRyd gave me, is the same as the one in the link posted above and does not fold up. Admitedly I had to do several mods to it to make it useable for me, and to silence it, but I believe now it will be another good tool. After reaching hunting height, using the leg loop...

    Linesman belt instead of linesman rope, input please

    Dutchtouch - remember I'm new here and still learning the correct terminology. As Brocky said, calling it a strap is really more appropriate and no it's not a triglide (had to google triglide to see what that was). Not sure what the correct name of the "buckle" is but someone will tell you...

    Linesman belt instead of linesman rope, input please

    So I'm very new to saddle hunting, but I hated using a prussic knot on my linesman rope. Too hard to adjust with only one hand I know there are other options to make a linesman rope easier to adjust with one hand, but I started using a linesman belt (see picture below) on my last couple...

    Climbing platform research and development.

    Plebe - why do you say this?? I'm a new JX3 user and I believe I want the platform in a fixed position so I can use it to push off on and move around the tree. I'm not questioning your statement, just want to understand why I would not want the platform in a fixed and secured position. Maybe...

    Lite weight (6 lbs or less), resonably priced, quiet, place for cam buckle or rachet stap to make it solid after setting up, simple and easy to attach and climb

    Saddle climber, what's available??

    I said "if I remember correctly" and at my age that's questionable. Maybe it was 12.2, in any case it doesn't feel like 12 pounds when paired with the pack frame. So even with a relatively lite weight climber it will be significantly less than carrying my Summit Just need to find a climber...

    Saddle climber, what's available??

    If I remember correctly, my Gen 1 weighs in at 11.2 pounds and the military pack frame makes it easy to carry. Fells lighter than its actual weight

    Saddle climber, what's available??

    I saw the one @woodsdog2 has in classifides. Looks like a lot of harware and difficult to setup, no teeth to hold climber on the tree, old design and has to be a more modern lighter design, limited tree size that it will fit. In short decided against it The Barren ridge stand is called...

    Saddle climber, what's available??

    The Jx3 is for comfort, not saving weight, obviouly. The Summit Viper I have is 25 pounds, the Jx3 with a 4/5 pound climber is 15/16 pounds. lotta difference in weight and not at all the same. And the pack frame on the Jx3 carries a whole lot better than a Summit I'm 66 and would not last...

    Saddle climber, what's available??

    New to this saddle world, but gotta say I think I would much rather use a climber of some type (with a tether) than sticks (I'll use my Jx3 once I get up the tree). Read a lot on this site about possibility of using a LWHC (out of production) or Summit open shot (the top of it, but kinda...

    Summit Open Shot alternative to LWHC

    Reviving an old post Recently, like in the last month, bought a Jx3 and got into saddle hunting. One thing I dislike is using sticks to climb, after a long-time using a Summit climber it would be so much easier and quicker to have a platform climber. So I found this topic very interesting I...
