    Base layers

    Talk to me about base layers. I currently have under armor base layers which are not merino. I don't have any issues with them but I'm not afraid to upgrade either. Why are merino layers better? I'm not backpacking so I don't need to wear them for days on end. Also, is there any difference in...

    Lacrosse alphaburly pro boots

    I've been looking at these for a long time. Lacrosse alphaburly pro boots $115 at midway. It's only the 1600g which is more than I wanted but couldn't beat the price...

    Ropeman 1

    Don't know how long it'll last but I saw orange ropeman 1s on Amazon for $34 and thought I'd pass it on. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B008D52J30/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_i_9DKC9V75S6N8W98Y64ZC?psc=1

    Gift exchange

    I've got a $50 gift exchange coming up where each person says what they want. If I have a saddle and platform, what are your ideas for additions under $50?

    New bridge necessary?

    I purchased a used saddle and the adjustable bridge is slightly frayed. Is this a problem? Is it time for a new bridge? I thought about just tying a second bridge on but wanted to get some input.

    Mantis

    I'm looking to buy my first saddle. Everyone says the mantis is "uncomfortable". Is it really or just compared to others? I'm 6'2" 170 if that matters. All my hunts are 4 hours max.

    Fiddle Factor

    Hello all, Getting ready for another season in the saddle (second season)! I currently use a primal plywood platform and maybe I'm just out of practice but it takes some fiddling around to get the platform set just right. Is there a similar fiddle factor with a pivot style platform? My issue is...

    Target

    I'm in need of a new target. What do people like for the money? Is it worth getting a super expensive target? I'd like to shoot broadheads into it as well.

    Rut Spots?

    Totally new to hunting specific spots for the rut. Where should I hunt on this public? The fields are mostly cut corn at this point. To the west is a lake and to the east is a farm field and a new residential development. It's thickest in the north.

    Saddle or Platform

    I'm currently using a sit drag/RCH and a primal plywood platform. I like both of my options but see the benefits of getting something better. Should I get a commercial saddle or platform first? I don't like bulk of the rch and I think I'd rather have a better platform. Those are my cons. I...

    Linesman Belt

    Well, it happened. My linesman belt fell out of my pouch yesterday and I didn't notice until today. Couldn't find it. Someone just got a sweet lineman's. I'm trying to build a new one inexpensively. If i get 11mm, can I use 9mm for a prusik or is 7mm sufficient? Can't find 8mm without having to...

    Sit Drag vs Commercial Saddle

    Just had my first hunt out of my sit drag RCH and I'm totally hooked on saddle hunting. My question is if you've used a sit drag and switched, why? What am I getting with a commercial saddle. I should have the money to buy a different saddle next year so wanted to get this out there to start...

    Bow Question

    I have a hoyt lazertec made in 2006 and am thinking about getting a new bow for next season. I hunted for a few years around then and am trying to get into it again here but I don't have a ton of money to throw at a flagship. My questions are, will a new less expensive bow (diamond, bear) be a...

    Sit Drag Loops

    I finally just got all my stuff in and realize that I'm not going to be able to use the gear loops on my rc harness for my pouches (ropes and stuff). It looks like people are attaching loops to their sit drag. Can I do this without a sewing machine? If so, how?

    Platform Question

    I'm new to saddle hunting and don't have the cash to buy a proper platform. I've read about people making one from an old steel tree stand seat and I think I'm going to go in that direction. I also keep reading about this OCB strap. That should work for the platform right? My thought is that...

    DIY Saddle vs Commercial

    I'm new to saddle hunting and saddlehunter.com. Could someone sell me on either the sitdrag rock harness or commercial saddle (mantis or others). Some items to consider. I don't want to spend a ton unless it's worth it to get the commerical one. I also don't plan on any all day sits if that...
