Saddle only. Surprise right?
I've been using the kong duck, but ropeman would work.I can't find you post on the climbing aider from my phone, so I'll ask the question here. Is that a ropeman you are using on the RS climbing aider?

Dont take long does it?Last year was my first with a saddle. Used a sit drag and RC harness like you. Made myself commit to only using a saddle last year. Glad I did...first couple of sits were a little rough and helped work some kinks out. After that, I quickly decided I'm all in on saddles.
Either one will work for those. On my tether I use a duck and I have my biner wrapped in a little vet tape to keep it quiet. On my lineman's belt I use a ropeman because the duck would be too noisy with the biner rattling. On my aider I've been using a duck because I just tie the foot loop directly into the hole but a ropeman would work just as well.Which do you like better, Kong or Ropeman? I've been thinking about trying a Kong for XOP Hand climbing or ur aider climbing.
As I mentioned ins the original post I pickednup a sitdrag and RCH. I recently purchased 2 yds of fleece to try my hand at a DIY. Any pictures and suggestions on the fleece? ThanksI'm all saddles all the time, I only recently started so I didn't have any treestands, was looking at getting a summit climber but didn't like the limitations, ended up with a saddle and haven't looked back, sitdrag/fleece saddle all the way!
I'll try to get some photos of a the fleece saddle I made, I've got a small one that I didn't really like. Need to make s bigger one.As I mentioned ins the original post I pickednup a sitdrag and RCH. I recently purchased 2 yds of fleece to try my hand at a DIY. Any pictures and suggestions on the fleece?

3 - Option 3 is trusty old Summit Climber. In the very crappiest of weather is when it gets called into the game. I find climbing sticks to be rather miserable when it is raining sideways and 33 degrees out, that kinda stuff. I am not a fair weather hunter. I’ve also spent a bunch of all day sits in this thing, and I’m not yet sure how a saddle is going to handle 12 hours, 5 days in a row. The climber is a comfort zone when things go to crap. I think as the years pass I will eventually sell it, but for now it still has that niche carved out in my lineup.
Not to say a saddle can't be used in crappy weather as well but when there's a lot of nasty weather and rain I'll get my climber up tight underneath an umbrella and use a pistol chest holster underneath the rain gear to keep everything dry. Once you get set-up it's surprising how relatively comfortable inclement weather can be.
Thats usually the case because i always forget my umbrella or think it won't rain.I rather enjoy the rain. As long as there’s not a lot of lightning with it, the deer in our area tend to move fairly well in it. All you have to do is make sure your phone is waterproof and enjoy the soak, no umbrella needed
