    Thoughts on oversized saddle?

    5’9” 190lbs 34” waist. Rope belt is nice and the saddle doesn’t seem too bulky. The bridge and lineman loops are not to far forward either. I very satisfied so far, coming from a phantom

    Thoughts on oversized saddle?

    I ran into Latitude guys at Total Archery Challenge here in MI back in June. I was torn between Archon and Method 2, leaning towards the Archon due to larger bottom panel for one sticking. I’m 5’9” 190lbs and 34” waist. After talking and leaning for a bit, they suggested to try out the xl. It...

    Trust issues

    Inspect all of your equipment before you start your climb, at your truck or tree. It takes a solid minute to check any signs of wear to stitching, rope, mechanical devices,etc. Everything we use is rated to handle way more than our weight. Knowing your equip is in good condition will give you...

    Bridge length

    There are so many factors for comfort. Trial and error. Lots of good advice so far but sometimes it just comes down to the saddle.

    Treehopper Ultimate Saddle

    Most, if not all the saddle makers and and saddle supply companies are what I would consider “small businesses”. Saddle hunting in general is not quite mainstream so they’ve got us, the saddle hunter as their only market. We, the customer use YouTube and forums to check out new equipment and...

    Rappelling kit

    Wrapping will work, for sure. It’s while it’s not around your leg. One slip while rappelling or taking off your lineman rope. Just safer for very little cost or time.

    Rappelling kit

    Agree!! You’ve got to have some type of backup while using the super minter hitch. If he let go of the rope for any reason he’d be hitting the ground. It’ll take 20 sec to install a prusik and safely go hands free at any point

    Don’t Cut Corners

    I happened to watch this and thought I’d share with everyone. Sounds like while climbing down and using a lineman rope/strap it broke causing him to fall 23’, breaking his back. He blames himself as to not replacing an old lineman rope. It’s a good reminder to make sure each and every time we go...

    DIY Rappel Rope Bag Build Along

    Thank you for the vids. It’s awesome you took the time to show the process and steps of the build. Very nice. I like the flap on the bulk rope section to keep it from flopping out. Nice touch. I don’t have sewing equip to do myself but might have check into some. So many options when you can...

    Just finished up my first season in a saddle. No turning back. New to Saddle Hunter forum but had done tons of research from posts that were google searched. Figured it was time to step it up. Wow. Unbelievable how much knowledge is here. It seems like an awesome group of likeminded guys/gals...
