    Platform Lock

    I got an email from Cruzr on a sale so I checked out the price on the Seeker platform, it was at a price I couldn’t refuse so I bought one. It was my original choice when researching saddles, but as I said, I was put off by reports from a few about not being able to get it tight, but at the sale...

    Madrock Safeguard

    Good point. Although I see a lot of people use the Safeguard like a Ropeman, it’s a good point that you bring up.

    Tether vs rappel related questions

    I have no problem trusting a quality Madrock Safeguard, I trust that more than myself getting knots right 100% of the time. I think a rappel rope as a tether and a Safeguard is about as safe as it gets. I have been thinking of this combo myself.

    Madrock Safeguard

    Here is my issue, I was coming down a tree years ago with long, not so great sticks. I had one stick kick out, I was in a harness with a lineman’s rope and a tether, I dropped down and it was very difficult to recover, now I am 25 years older. I never had an issue with newer model short sticks...

    Wearing out is just something someone threw out there of possible issues.

    Madrock Safeguard

    I wonder about the rope used and its effects. Many swear by them, some say they creep. I just wonder if the different ropes or different size ropes can be the variables in responses here and other places. Some even suggested they wear out over time.

    Platform Lock

    I figured the webbing stretches. I also know as buckles get old the spring weakens and they slip, so it stands to reason they are micro slipping before they go noticeably bad.

    Platform Lock

    I agree on the cam straps, I have been using the USA Pro for the last week and like them much better than the straps and buckles.

    Platform Lock

    It’s a hairy feeling o_O when you platform slips, especially being a newbie. I had looked hard at the Seeker and never bought one because of the lock on issues. I did see a guy had good results replacing the top stand off. I was in the trees today with both platforms, my EDP and Mission, to play...

    Wrap Or Not To Wrap?

    On my EDP platform the paracord reduced the size of those traction bumps on the sides so I didn’t think the cord was a benefit.

    Wrap Or Not To Wrap?

    Good point.

    Wrap Or Not To Wrap?

    I originally wrapped the outside frame of my two platforms with paracord like I did with my cast hang ons. On my hang ons, it was a locater of the outside edge of my platform I could feel, but the saddle platforms are quite different in that you are standing on the edges. My thought is that edge...

    Climbing Platform vs. Panther Climbing Platform

    Is that with the tariffs :tearsofjoy:

    Climbing Platform vs. Panther Climbing Platform

    That’s a great set up. I would have no problem not screwing with the rope and repelling gear, skipping the repelling down and just climbing down, but repelling would be fun ;). I think the climbing platform is a very easy and I believe could be the safest way to get in and out of a tree, but I...

    Climbing Platform vs. Panther Climbing Platform

    I think just like the development of platforms, the climbing platforms for saddle hunters will continue to be developed and prices will become more competitive. The downside to those buying these high priced saddle climbing platforms is their value on the second hand (used) market will drop...
