    Why don't yall 2TC? - ultralight rope technique

    Thanks. I am subscribed to you on Youtube, so I saw it there already this morning before I even saw your post on saddlehunter. Unfortunately, when I bought C-IV to make two tethers, it was using your "old" system. I did get a little extra to be safe, but not enough for 6.5-7.0'. So if I...

    Why don't yall 2TC? - ultralight rope technique

    Thanks for the new videos. Not sure if you remember me, but I made a stiffened tether months ago using your instruction video. Looks like you are now using 1x19 5/32" cable, so may have to think about making another one using that. However, I am mainly interested in your tether hitch. I...

    Release survey while hunting

    Wrist strap and it is either attached to my bow when not hunting, or attached to my wrist when hunting. That way I never lose it, drop it, forget it and so forth. Had thumb release clipped to D-ring many years ago, and had enough times where I lost it, bumped the trigger and it fell, forgot...

    Tell me your a saddlehunter without telling me…

    Asking her to tie the knot can also lead to the same result.

    Tell me your a saddlehunter without telling me…

    When you get slapped in the face for asking a lady if she wants to get hitched.

    Favorite shrink tubing?

    I bought some at Harbor Freight if you have one of those near you. 8' for something like $2-3. Seems okay but not heavy duty.

    Why don't yall 2TC? - ultralight rope technique

    Just wanted to let you know I was able to use my stiffened tether and tether attachment for a number of hunts in January and I really like the system. I used Bluewater 7mm accessory cord for my tether attachment and a prusik and that worked well. See picture I sent. I like the color...

    Recon

    Recon was my first saddle and used it for about 4 years. Pros: Inexpensive, lightweight, compact, comfy. Cons: Wants to sag/drop if any weight on it such as a dump pouch attached to it with your tether or other stuff in it, so walking in and out with weight does not work. Likewise when in...

    Why don't yall 2TC? - ultralight rope technique

    So I have now hunted with your stiffened tether system including the hitch (top only, and still using CGM's tubular webbing 2TC kit for foot tether), and so far so good. I can move that top tether up and down much quicker, and it coils up smaller than I thought when carrying it in my pack. So...

    Why don't yall 2TC? - ultralight rope technique

    As someone says in a post below, it is more or less the same technique, with people just making their personal adjustments. I'll give you a couple of examples. One is that I hunt river bottoms a lot and have to wear hip boots to cross water. The hip boots do not have a steel shank. When...

    Why don't yall 2TC? - ultralight rope technique

    Last evening I stiffened my Canyon C-IV with the shrink-wrapped cable. As you note in the video, that milking process takes awhile and a little hard on the hands. I tried wearing cotton clothes but they slip too much and don't pull the sheath. Took awhile to figure out the rhythm, because at...
