    Why don't yall 2TC? - ultralight rope technique

    I haven't tried that one, but I have used a stiff bottomed footloop (diy Carbon Fiber). The real question you have to figure out is if you want your foot in the footloop the whole way up, or if you like taking it out and putting it back in as you go. If you discover that you prefer the former, I...

    Let's see those pre-sets!

    That's why they have chafe/sun protection on them around the tree trunk and a couple feet down. I've never had any chew marks at all on my ropes, but if I did, I'd just use paracord. Maybe spraying fake deer piss diluted with water on my ropes also helps keep the squirrels away....

    Saddle hunters support thread.

    Thank you....for some reason I only saw boyne's reply yesterday, so I'm super glad for all the detailed measurements. It really is a challenge finding the perfect size and angle to meet the small to large tree tolerance and a solid grip on both extremes.....

    Saddle hunters support thread.

    If you haven't boxed it up yet ...the 3 blue lines were the measurements I was looking for. I know the post then comes and fills some of that space but I'm just trying to understand the thinking behind each designers tree bracket shape and what the absolutely most ergonomical dimensions would...

    Let's see those pre-sets!

    Yes, for my "in city" and 2 5-acre private land(not mine) spots i have presets but I actually leave ultra tech(7.9mm) rope in the tree. They have a sun and chafe protection on them at the top and are always facing the north side of the tree. I don't have any installed now but will try and take...

    The New, New Gear. 2025 Edition

    What's the differences in the V bracket portion....like the width and depth of them? Does the wider V still catch good on a smaller tree(like 5" or so at the top)? Thanks.

    Why don't yall 2TC? - ultralight rope technique

    Looks close enough. You'll know youve got something good if it works smoothly in both directions. No worries, the thread is quiet these days with other summer activities taking priority. I think the struggles go away slowly once you start moving more slowly and smoothly in a relaxed manner. The...

    Why don't yall 2TC? - ultralight rope technique

    Hi, sorry I went on a trip to Tennessee for work, and didn't have a way of taking pictures of my saddle and blakes hitch second bridge..... Well here it is. I forgot I had actually made some modifications to JRBs v2 version. I basically have tied loops that won't shrink acting as tending devices...

    Why don't yall 2TC? - ultralight rope technique

    You just add an extra wrap on the bridge/LB loop and when the bridge is in use it doesn't shift around at all for me.

    8mm Predator linesman

    A prusik with 2 very stiff ropes can sorta be ok. A prusik with 1 or both ropes being soft like oplux....always jams tight....in my experience.

    Why don't yall 2TC? - ultralight rope technique

    I'm not exactly sure what you mean about the loops biting into the loop well....but if you mean the holding power of the hitch then yes they do If you mean the holding power on the lineman's loops then yes they do stay put under tension and if you tie it just shy of being tight to the lineman's...

    The soft stitch is by far the best tending hitch you can tie.

    Why don't yall 2TC? - ultralight rope technique

    To be honest,I really like JRB's Blake's hitch tensioner V2 bridge. The reason it's great is because a carabiner doesn't tend it open like a regular bridge with a friction hitch. I know his stuff can seem complicated or confusing to folks but that bridge really works and is just 1 length of rope...

    Safety

    For me, besides the safety factor which I enjoy, buying an expensive saddle and my rope gear is like buying multiple hang on stands because it enables me to be in many places over the course of a season simply and quickly...its also lighter and untraceable. In my city hunt, I don't have to be in...
