    Will a Sitka ToolBucket Pack hold a Predator XL platform?

    Do you also haul climbing sticks with the ToolBucket?

    Will a Sitka ToolBucket Pack hold a Predator XL platform?

    I have not. Just trying to figure out a reliable and effective hauling system, for whenever that platform ships.

    Will a Sitka ToolBucket Pack hold a Predator XL platform?

    I’m considering either purchasing a 2019 or 2020 Sitka Tool Bucket backpack to carry sticks and a Predator XL platform for day hunts. Dimensions of the Predator XL platform are 15.25 x 13 x 3. Was hoping to place the platform inside the bag, but unsure if that would be too tight of squeeze...

    Leaning toward trying AIDERS with climbing sticks. What kind? Where to buy? DIY rigging? Carry as you go?

    Did you purchase the 1 step webbing aiders or just rig them up yourself?

    Leaning toward trying AIDERS with climbing sticks. What kind? Where to buy? DIY rigging? Carry as you go?

    Been obsessing over saddlehunting for the past week or two, and would really like to give it a go in Indiana this October. So I was considering two climbing options: 1. First, just strapping some cheapish climbing sticks to a tree as a permanent setup to allow me to get comfortable using the...

    Is it just me or are these saddle companies largely "silent" about fall testing?

    https://roperescuetraining.com/physics_fall_factors.php This site talks about "Fall Factors." And how a fall factor of 2 will likely cause injury. This means that if I had a 2 foot tether line and climbed 2 feet above the anchor point and just let go, I'd be at risk of injury (4 foot fall/ 2...

    Good stuff, but here's my question.... Does this community know -- at what distance from a fall from a static system (while being harnessed) before the body is critically injured?

    Is it just me or are these saddle companies largely "silent" about fall testing?

    I don't know any guys personally using a RC harness with it either, but as I've gotten sucked down the internet rabbit hole regarding "saddlehunting safety," I've come across at least a couple guys who stated that they used some type of RC harness as a backup. So, to correct my own thinking, I...

    Is it just me or are these saddle companies largely "silent" about fall testing?

    Just makes me wonder if there is a company that is not doing their due diligence when it comes to fall testing. I will give props to Tethrd as I did find a YouTube video on their fall testing, which inspired buyers confidence in myself regarding their company.

    Is it just me or are these saddle companies largely "silent" about fall testing?

    New guy here. So I was considering buying a rock climbing harness to serve as my safety harness when using my hang on stand, but then I started investigating saddle hunting. The more research that I did, the more I wanted to try it. But there is a safety issue that I'm trying to get a clear...
