    Alaska guide creations and using a bino harness in the saddle

    I wore my marsupial harness all year in my saddle with no issues. After using a harness out west it gives me to many advantages not to use it back east in the big woods. I like having a select few items on my chest at all times. I set my tether around forehead high and haven't ran in to any issues.

    Question on Climbing with Bolts

    I soaked mine in dawn dish washing liquid, gave them a little scrubbing and then laid them out to dry. It didnt completely get all the residue off but did pretty good. Just take a walmart bag or something with you for when you pull your bolts out. It will make a mess in your pack if you dont.

    Question on Climbing with Bolts

    What range finder do you use and how do you like it.

    Leupold 1200i tbr. I use it year around for archery tournaments and hunting both. Its stood the test of time and has been a great piece of equipment. I would also recommend the Nikon 3i or 7i. Me personally I like the reticle in the range finder to be red. Its much better for low light conditions.

    MANTIS...... WHATS UP TETHRDNATION

    With people already aggravated, going this long without an update of some sort was probably not the best thing to do. Communication is key and honesty is the best policy. Even if you cant fill a single order for the next two weeks just own it and be honest about it. The saddle market is to...
