This has got to be the next “big secret”.....right? A climbing method and platform all in one which equates to the lightest method available for public lands.
Many of us have resorted to the lone wolf or xop hand climbing seats for the time being and they do work very well but I do believe either Out On A Limb, Tethrd, or other saddle hunting accommodating companies could have a GREAT market for such a product!
Think about all the newcomers transitioning from climbing tree stands to saddle hunting and how it would make for a “smooth” transition and familiarity. Don’t you think it might soften the hesitation from making the jump into saddle hunting....?
Not to mention the safety aspect of being tethered in the entire time and no need for a lineman’s belt during the accent or decent.
The speed is quite fast as well. I’m rather new to this method and can be up 20’ in less than 3 minutes and back down in another 3 minutes. Not quite as fast as spurs but for me is much faster than sticks, stepps, and setting bolts.
There are some cons like getting around limbs, getting the platform “solid”, the climbing bands getting stuck/bent, or making noise on certain trees. But any method that has pros also had a set of cons as well...
P.S. I’m up for some field testing if y’all wanna build some prototypes.... Been swinging from trees for over 10 years from these tree diapers and love it! I might also be familiar with some Autodesk Inventor as well...just saying.
We’re just simple saddle hunters looking for more viable options and I truly believe this should be one!
Thoughts, comments, ideas...?
