    First time tether slipping (latitude outdoors)

    Thanks for all the info. I’ll get back out in the saddle this weekend when I have some free time before the sun goes down. I’ll see if I can’t replicate the situation. I’m 210lbs right now. I don’t know if that seems like I need extra wraps to not, just answering the question. I think I’ll mess...

    Hawk suction cups

    Literally just went through this last night with my new sticks. Finally when I got them apart the button on one stick broke and stayed inside the cup of the opposite stick. Ridiculous.

    Is there a specific way to get your ropes broken in well? How do you tell when the knots are gonna be good and set firm?

    First time tether slipping (latitude outdoors)

    Thanks for the reply. I did some research and it seems maybe I do just need to break them in a bit. The part that was most frightening was that the tether was tight from leaning against it fro a few minutes before I let my feet go and the hitch still slipped. So it should have already been under...

    First time tether slipping (latitude outdoors)

    Hi guys, new to saddle hunting and new to the forum. I’ll try to make this as concise as possible. Just got a latitude method saddle as well as the latitude lineman’s belt and thether. Never saddle hunted before so I hung my platform on a tree at ground level and got set up on the saddle to try...
