    Guidos Web buckles

    I initially didn't think I could get them off without cutting them off or putting back on without some sewing. When I looked at it a second time both were doable. Was actually about a 5 minute job when I figured it out. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

    Guidos Web buckles

    I hated the noisy metal buckles on the guidos web shoulder straps. I had a summit safety harness lying around that had some really heavy duty plastic buckles on it. I cut them off that harness and put them on my gw. I could not be happier with the swap. No more metal noise now. It was a...

    Guido's Web Review

    Was reading your review and noticed you never said how or when you noticed your whale tale was bent and what you were doing when it happened. For the life of me I can't imagine how you could have bent it. Outside of putting mine in a vise or hitting it with a hammer I can't see anyway it...

    Figuring out How to Climb with a Guido’s Web

    I think the plywood or a rubber coated hook would be good. My only concern is that you do actually want it to have a little weight and be solid. It seems to be more maneuverable and positionable that way when your up high. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

    Figuring out How to Climb with a Guido’s Web

    Part of the “learning curve” for any type of saddle hunting is figuring out what works best for you to get up the tree. Part of this equation for every deer hunter is to ascend the tree quickly, without sweating any more than absolutely necessary, being able to safely do this in the dark, and...

    GW OR EVOLUTIION

    Big Joe, I hope this helps with the GW side of your question. I have not used an aero evolution, so I cannot speak to it. I highly recommend the GW...and not just for comfort... To me, it seems like the ideal saddle in multiple areas. Here is what I posted formerly about the GW...

    Advantages of the Guidos Web

    You can add clothes while hunting out of a Web? You could indeed add upper clothes like a thicker jacket or take off a jacket if it got to warm. Just slip the shoulder straps off take it off/or put it on and then put the shoulder straps back on. The safety harness is below the shoulder...
