    Here is my "Frame pack".

    Pack sizes

    With a platform as big as the mission I would suggest putting some quality straps on it and using it as your pack. You can strap your sticks and extra layers to it. Everything else you really need can fit in your pockets a dump pouch or satchel. I have a lwcg ambush and have been using this set...

    Is this safe

    Yes, I am using an ESS saddle and have been since it came out. The reason for the ring and the questions I have about the tether is I want to be able to lower my tether as much as possible. I am using large platforms (ambush and novix hybrid). The traditional tether I can only go so low. With...

    I tried a plastic buckle just to see if it was going to work. Seems like it will. So I ordered this: https://austrialpin.net/product/ansi-cobraframe-release-d-ring/ Next heading to EWO for some webbing.

    Thank all of you for your replies. I definitely have some research to do. I'm sure I will be back with more questions.

    Is this safe

    What I am trying to do is mock up a lwcg ghost harness. I have all the components to do so without spending 300. Do you have a solution where I can use the Ring on my bridge and have a removeable tether? I am asking this Because I agree with your statement but I don't see another solution.

    Wow, that looks pretty awesome. Thank you for sharing.

    So would a steel quick link be a better option then?

    Is this safe

    One end of my tether is permanently attached to my bridge. When I wrap the tether around the tree I need the rope to then pass through a gated object, in this case a caribeaner. I have used a tether in a traditional way for a few years. I'm experimenting with a different set up and was...

    Is this safe

    I was wondering if I am loading this caribeaner in an unsafe way. If this is unsafe what is the better choice. I do need something with an open gate for the tether rope to pass through.

    Dump Pouches vs. Dump Bags

    https://doublesteps.com/product/step-satchel-pouch/ I have been using this for a couple of seasons now. No saddle sagging or suspenders. When walking in I keep it in the center of my back to minimize my profile. When I need stuff as I climb I can slide it all the way in front of me. When I am...

    Novix hybrid treestand

    I definitely see what your saying. I have zero interest in kneeling (bad knees) so this is perfect for me. I am perfectly comfortable on a large platform and leaning for about 6 hours. I will only be using this set up for all day sits

    Novix hybrid treestand

    Thanks for the idea. In true saddle hunter fashion I had forgot that I had an ooal rut and roost. I bought it to pair with the predator platform a couple years ago but I just didn't have enough room to fold the seat down on that size platform. Not a problem with the LWCG Ambush.

    Novix hybrid treestand

    In your opinion what makes what you described above better than if I on my LWCG ambush and knees in the tree? I can see how that would be better on a small tree. I just don't want to spend that kind of money on the .5 to do the same thing I am now. I would really like to sit down for 15...

    Novix hybrid treestand

    One of the main reasons I got into saddle hunting is I am not comfortable with heights even though I sat in tree stands for 30 years before I got into a saddle. Being in a saddle and feeling that tension all the time has allowed me to hunt elevated without anxiety. So when I say I am looking...
