[Corydd11]

Hey SH'ers. New user here. Been huntin lone wolf stick and stand for about 5 years. Love everything about them.. until I couldn't hunt the tree I wanted.
Been doing some research and I made me this saddle just now. (I haven't hunted out of it) but have been hanging in the tree behind my house for a few hours messing with it. This XL dog harness is very well made. I will definitely trust it.

Welcome from Louisiana. I’m curious to see this dog harness/saddle conversion.

XL dog harnes $12 and $4 foam pad
I am 190lbs. I was trying to break it from gound level and I couldn't.

The rings connecting the straps together and rings each side of the buckle must be welded to hold your weight.

At least wear a riggers belt or rock climbing harness under it. Looks like it could be pretty comfortable tho!

I'd be afraid of the plastic buckle in the middle.

That's a good point. Thank you. I will tac thoes ends.

Great idea. I agree with @KYHunter, safety first. I would need a dog harness for a Bull Mastiff. Lol

The buckel isn't load bearing at all. It's just kinda there.

I definitely agree with KYHunter above. It looks comfortable but I would be cautious and where a backup system of some type even fi it’s just a fall harness that comes with one of the of the other deer stands you already own. Be safe and good luck!

Awesome start!

You could break out those rings with a cold chisel & slide 2 carabiners in there.

Indeed I do. No way I would trust my life to that thing without backup.

What quality of thread do you suppose the Chinese used when stitching that together?
A fall from 20' might make a good used saddle look pretty cheap...

I second this. While I dig your ingenuity, please be careful and use a backup system if you are going to climb with that untested contraption!
