    Heated base layers?

    Any of you guys use heated base layers while in the saddle? Are there certain brands that have the battery packs out of the way of the saddle? Never owned a set and curious what experiences you guys have had with them while in the saddle. Like the idea of the Fieldsheer ones controlled by the...

    Short tag ends???

    Guys I'm starting this thread to bring something to everyone's attention. First off, I'm not bashing any company and plan on my next saddle to come from them. Secondly, I'm not a knot/rope guy that dreams about the stuff and always coming up with new ideas to try. I pretty much order it and use...

    Stepson's first deer

    He got his first deer today and only his second set in a saddle. He keeps saying how much more comfortable it is compared to a stand.

    Doyles inside of pack?

    Do any of you guys run your Doyles inside your pack and out through the bottom? Just trying to think of ways to keep the saddle molle from getting over loaded/cluttered.

    Best size amsteel for rope mod?

    Not wanting to walk all over ChssingDinner's thread, thought I would start this one. I have used the "search" function, must be an idiot as I can't find the info I'm looking for. So...... have decided to use the rope mod on my Shikars and I'm wondering what is the best size amsteel to use. I...

    Flex back band question

    So besides height adjustability, are there any advantages to using the supplied prusick cords to attach to the bridge? I'm honestly thinking about using a continuous loop through the carabiner instead, seems alot simpler than putting those prusicks on every time. Am I missing something?

    Handy Dandy Paracord

    We've all got it lying around and it's cheap, lightweight, compact. After looking through the pages of this forum and seeing all the DIY ideas you guys have come up with, I had to laugh at myself for overlooking the uses of paracord in hunting. Not my ideas but just my take on a few...

    Big boots/platform

    I know you guys that are "Genetically Superior" like myself are always asking about saddle and platform sizes, so while out back today I took some pics, hope the visual helps. This will be my first season in a saddle, in boots I wear from a 13 -14, depending on brand. In these photos I'm wearing...

    Youth saddle hunters?

    How many of you have put your youth hunter in a saddle and on the same tree as you? Any advice? Reason I ask is that I picked up a saddle and another Ridge Runner for my stepson, he's 15 and slender built. Figure I'll put the RR's back to back and keep him in the same tree as me, this way I can...

    Hip replacement!?!?

    I hate to even bring this up, but looks like I'm going to have one done. So....how many of you guys have had this done before season and how was it getting back in the saddle? Probably July 24 for me, season starts here in Tn Sept.28 I believe. Honestly believe 2 months is enough time, anyone...

    RR with steps?

    Haven't had time to play around with this setup yet and I'm sure some of you guys have tried this. So.....did you like it? With the steps higher than the platform are there advantages or disadvantages? One advantage I see, on a leaner, is if the platform is on the high side of the tree then the...

    WTB saddle for youth.

    Sold my stepson's climber today and wanting to put him in a saddle. He has a slender build with a 28" waist, Tethrd site shows that to be a "medium". Since everyone seems to be switching over to the Phantom, I figure there should be a Mantis or two needing a home. Let me know what you've got.

    Umbrellas?

    I always carried in a treestand umbrella on those mornings with a chance of rain, but those style umbrellas look like they wouldn't cover a saddle hunters back. Am I correct in my thinking? Have you guys found an umbrella that works good with a saddle?

    .....East TN

    Found this forum late last summer and have lurked daily since, so much good information here and extremely helpful. So, thought I better support and join up. What made me look into saddles was the fact that I'm tired of carrying all the weight of a climber, tired of the straight tree being 20yds...
