    Climb up with rappel rope as tether? What do you do with the tail end?

    I hate stuff hanging on my saddle. I've tried but I just don't like it. I also don't like my rope hanging from the tree to the ground while I'm hunting. I like to be neat so I have these (4"X 6" ?) bags from Hidden Woodsman that I keep my stuff in, in my pack. One of these have my repel rope...

    Giving it another try

    I also have the Transformer that is a two panel. I'm 5'10" and weigh 240. My transformer is my most comfortable saddle. I separate the panels by about 5" so I'm sitting on one panel and the other is around my waist. Very comfy!

    Instead of always arriving early to locations. Maybe start once light is visible is a better approach?

    I have been in my stand a few times where I see deer and hunters interact. one time I had four doe under my stand. I had no doe permit so just observed. They all bedded down under my tree.

    I don't know why they do it but varmint's like to chew on stuff. I put an electric dog fence in my yard extending into woods. The wood area I put the wire on the ground and covered it with leaves. Some animal chewed through the wire several times. I found in the lawn area they dug the wire up...

    In the market for a new saddle

    The Mantis is the only saddle I've sold. I have the Kite, the Kestrel, the Merlin and the Overwatch Transformer. I love my Kite and Kestrel but to be honest really never gave the other two a fair shake until yesterday. Yesterday I pulled out the transformer and wow! I've never sat in a saddle...

    Sometimes I wonder about myself?

    LOL today I did get out my one stick and I have to say I think the Transformer makes it easier to one stick.

    Sometimes I wonder about myself?

    Today I decided to make a learning tree. My thought was to have a tree behind the house, clean it up, clean up around it and bring my stuff out and revisit. I was playing with my WE Stepps and something popped into my head. I watched an Eberhart video where he said two panel saddles are more...
