    A new use for a Saddle

    A co-worker shared this with me, and I thought "I know some people that would appreciate this!" So who's used their saddle like this before? Looks real doo-doo-able with a 2 panel!

    Notch Quickie Verdict

    Alright, its been quite a while since people started using the Notch Quickie, I think 2019 or 2020 was when it first started popping up on here as an option to the Oval and Delta quick links. I currently have a delta but sometimes that damned thing gets so tight I feel like I need a small pair...

    SRT and 2TC with Latitude Method 2

    Hey all, looking for some input from anyone that climbs these methods and is using a Method 2 saddle. I just stopped by the EWO store and tried one, I've been thinking of switching from my single panel Merlin to a Method 2, and my first impression was that it was def more comfortable due to...

    Possible hip pinch solution

    I know lots of people have tried to solve this problem, and while not a complete solution and it does have some limitations, it might be something useful for relieving some of the hip pinch experienced with current soft saddle designs. Disclaimer, I am not a professional and this is to propose...

    Lap Bar or Bridge Spanner?

    Obviously one of the issues with using a soft saddle is the dreaded hip pinch. Options like the JX3 negate this by keeping the pressure off of your hips using a something solid like the seat of the JX3. Has anyone ever used something with a soft saddle to try and decrease the angle that the...

    What song is stuck in your head while hunting?

    Whole time climbing and setting up, I have Alvin and the Chipmunks " Christmas don't be late" stuck in my head. How about you?

    Tethering weapons at height

    Anyone doing this to prevent dropping them? Never really thought about it before, but having my gun in the saddle got me to wondering what people do in case they drop their weapon or it falls somehow

    Sangym tree climbers

    Anyone ever used something like this? Depending on how they operate, it could be a easy climbing tool and be able to get around branches. Maybe...

    Climbing with Stirrups

    I'm looking into adding 2TC to my arsenal this season since I already have the minimum equipment for it. I've tried it out and really find digging my toes into the tree an uncomfortable experience and saw some old threads where people were using stirrups or two foot climbing loops. This looks...

    SRT Preset line management

    Hey all SRT climbers! This year I started setting up preset trees with a loop of paracord before hunting season, and I even preset a tree in my yard to practice climbing. One of the things I noticed, is that the paracord can become a pain the keister while climbing once you also have your...

    Ridge Runner and Squirrel Steps with Daisy Chain Strap

    Hey everyone, hoping someone has some experience with this, as I'm pretty new to the whole Saddle hunting thing. I am currently using the Ridge Runner platform, and while I love the platform I don't care too much for the strap it came with. I can never seem to get it as tight as I'd like, and...

    First Deer!!

    I'd love to say I got it out of my new saddle, but it was just too cold this morning to be lugging around climbing gear on top of all the cold weather gear I needed. It was the last day and I finally got it done! I've been hunting deer for 8 years, and until this year I was focused on bagging a...

    Michigan backpack help!

    Alright, I know...a backpack thread. I've searched a lot on here, and everyone comes from different areas of the country, so it's hard to filter through to find the advice/suggestions I'm looking for. I'm looking for recommendations for a pack that can carry my climbing gear and winter garbs...

    New from Michigan

    Hey Everyone! Sold my climber and going all in on the saddle. I was looking for something that weighs less and is easier to manuever through the woods so I could be more mobile and hunt deeper, and this looked like exactly the right thing. I've been practicing with 20" heliums sticks, but...
