    DIY Dump Pouch

    going to make one slightly larger for my bullman ROS. got some Realtree Cabelas pattern suede material coming from off etsy, 1yd for $3.50 or so plus shipping, that should give me enough to make what ever I need. lol

    The Wraptor

    So, I have been away for awhile, but want do build a 4th Wraptor, with tweaks. The last couple of years, I have still been messing with the saddle, but using my LWCG .5 more, some ground hunting, but I keep coming back to trying to get the saddle thing to work for me. a little background on...

    LWCG 0.5 Full Season Review

    For myself, I went from an older LW assault (8.5lb version) into the saddle world. I tried a ROS, Predator Platform, OOL scout, along with standing on my top Beast Gear steps. they all kind of worked for me, but I had issues shooting left handed. I just couldn't get comfortable with the...

    The official saddle hunting fanny pack /lumbar pack thread

    it worked for where I went in, not to deep on my first sit of the year. I’m sure it would work for longer distances. 2nd-4th sits, I took my LW hang in, and used the saddle as a harness /saddle depending on the area. I have been back and forth with the stand vs saddle for the last 4yrs now...

    The official saddle hunting fanny pack /lumbar pack thread

    I am running a monster pack this year, or on the days I want to go light. I am going to see how it works with 4 beast sticks strapped on top. I actually am using some paracord to help hold them on. must be a better way. I have a rolled up deer sleigher strapped on the bottom of it. I use...

    Diy latitude

    quick ?, I am making one of these minus the mesh. how much oplux did you use for the bridge? also, how much amsteel and what size did you use for the prusiks on both the bridge and the belt hitch? or is the belt setup using different rope? any closer pictures on the belt knots? thanks

    Beast Stand

    I've got spots where a saddle just won't cut it. my LW will. so, I have not gotten rid of it. I hunted 1/2 in a saddle, 1/2 in a stand last year. I have an older LW Assault, 8.5lb version that has been modd'd so it works better. lol

    Staying warm in cold weather... TIPS?

    Nothing to add here, lots of good info listed above. 2out of the last 3 years, I’ve sat in -5 to about 5 above with 20-50mph wind gusts. That gets cold after awhile. Layers, stay dry walking in, something wind proof makes a huge difference. Also having a bigger tree to break the wind...

    Solo scout

    I'm using the angled scout on a Beast Stick along with a ROS. depending on how high I go, I have set it up with another stick to the side, as well as using the ROS. I find it works well for my setups. really happy with it.

    "The official saddle hunting backpack thread"

    I used to use an older quiet fabric backpack when I used my stand, just bungie it on. This year, early, I used a fanny pack, and shoulder sling for sticks. not really liking that. mid to now, I have used my Exo 3300, nice frame pack, but noisy for the whitetail woods, and larger then I would...

    The Wraptor

    I sat in my 2nd wraptor with the Bent D-rings. it worked perfect on Saturday. I spent 6 hrs on a rainy Saturday afternoon. It was the most comfortable one I have been in. No ride up, overall worked great, but I have figured out my tether height already. I also used an Scout platform on my...
