Hey everyone, hoping someone has some experience with this, as I'm pretty new to the whole Saddle hunting thing.
I am currently using the Ridge Runner platform, and while I love the platform I don't care too much for the strap it came with. I can never seem to get it as tight as I'd like, and I'd rather not use a ratchet strap. I was considering switching to a daisy chain strap and using either the trucker hitch or timber hitch to hopefully secure it tighter. I was interested in adding a squirrel step or two for better stability when taking shots or maneuvering off the platform.
Anyone with any experience using this kind of setup? I see the Squirrel steps being used with the OCB, but do they work just as well with a daisy chain strap and the hitches mentioned above? Anyone have success with those hitches using the RR?
Thanks!
Edit: Or am I better off adding the squirrel steps with a separate OCB strap?
