    She buys a hawk saddle about every 4 hours.

    Here is the latest evolution of my bwaider. This particular model was made to be as small and lightweight as possible. Including the carabiner it weighs 6 ounces. I used the webbing strap from a hawk stick instead of rope. It is lighter, takes up less space in my bag, and doesn't slide...

    Saddle Size

    Anytime I'm looking for a new saddle to try, I seem to spend weeks trying to find info on specific saddle measurements, sizes and how they fit different people. There is a lot of info out there, but it can be a pain to look all over the place for it. For new users and old, I thought I'd start...

    Stiff rope like Sterling HTP stays upright quite well.

    Tried a few new ideas. First, I tried using a hawk helium stick strap for my main loop. This is about as small and light as you can get for the main loop. I love it. It wraps up smaller than the amsteel. The nice part about these straps is that they already have a sewn eye so you only need...

    Thanks for the idea @Liebadude. Here is my amsteel boogie woogie aider (bwaider). 1/4 amsteel. 1100 paracord for the knaider loop at the moment for ground level testing until I decide what I want permanently. Bigger rope tends to be stiffer and hold the loop upright better. Also made the wood...

    I misunderstood. I am using a bigger j hook on my knaider and i think it is much easier with the bigger j hook. When I use it on the wild edge step, the j hook part of the knaider is going onto the horizontal bar of the wild edge step. My carabiner goes on the v part. Sorry for the confusion!

    Just ordered some amsteel from @DanO. I'll send some pics soon! The only reason I don't use a j hook is because I hook onto the lower v of the wild edge. When I clip in, I force my foot out from the tree and down into the wood of the bwaider and the biner tends to slide up and down the v of...

    That twig is backed up, and will be further with additional webbing now that it has been tested at ground level. #notanavgclimber

    I tried a few different variations. I started by just using the large rope loop under the wood to knaider. This made building it easy, but it was difficult for me to access with the knaider. I moved it off to the right and up just for easier access. It may help with kickouts to have it centered...

    It doesn't look all that great, but its functional!

    @Recurveaholic is your knaider hook getting caught and turning almost upside down after grabbing? If so, I had this happen when I switched to the bigger hook. The straps connected to my hook would slide down lightly due to gravity and then the hook would slightly lean forward occasionally...
