What bridge lengths are you guys going with?
We're talking about setting your tether hookup to the tree at eye level while you are standing on your platform.Are you guys talking about putting tether around tree at eye level or where you hook it to bridge??I'm coming from using my trophyline tree saddle ,But you guys got to me and I have a kestrel on the way lol... seems like Ill have a adjustment period getting used to kestrel.I hooked tether on TL as high on tree as I could and seemed to work well for me
Mine is about 24 inches from end to end.What bridge lengths are you guys going with?
Anywhere between 24 - 28 feels pretty darn good. Outside both ways and I feel some discomfort.Mine is about 24 inches from end to end.
Where can I find your video?I have been using an eye level hook up for years - I think I explained why on one of my videos. It really is simple physical science and leverage points. A higher hook up, without moving further from the tree transfer more of the weight downward. Since we cannot move further way form the tree (unless it is a leaning tree) then lowering the tether hook up transfers more weight across the three angles thus reducing the downward pressure (leaning verses sitting)
Just get a ropeman 1 to make the bridge that came with the Kestrel adjustable . That's what I did.So my Kestrel came with a 44" bridge. Do you guys think it's worthwhile to go to REI and get some rope to build an adjustable bridge? If so any diameter recommendations for both the main bridge rope and the prussic?

I'm a 36 and got size 1. The waist belt has a lot of adjustment so it should be fine as things bulk up. Officially to be determined though.How is sizing? Im 36 waist... would you get the smaller one or opt for the larger one for winter wear ?
