    Email preferences on SH...

    I want to get reply notifications but I don’t need an e-mail every time. I’m logged on here constantly and I look at it a lot. Can anyone tell me how to turn off the email notification ? I thought I got it in preferences but I’m still getting emails. Thx

    Looking for opinions on a platform attachment

    If I put a versa button on where I am pointing and another versa button down low, do you think this will hold it still or is the placement of the top button going to cause it to roll out ?

    Does anyone know or can tell me the specs for the lone wolf versa button as far as the width from the inside of the button to the stick face ?

    Double wrap tether on screw link...

    So at my work when we need to lift or more often times, drag something we double wrap a sling to choke whatever it is we’re moving. Does this principle apply to the tether while at height ? Obviously if I have 35 feet of rope to spare with my combined tether/ rappel line, an extra turn isn’t...

    Fail safe for tether/ rappel combo line...

    So I’m interested to hear about how I could back up my prusik bridge attachment now that my tether doesn’t terminate in a knot on my belay loop ( my saddle is homemade so it’s bones are a commercial lightweight rock harness). I was thinking stop knot above the bridge with another hitch to come...

    Madrock lifeguard.

    Several questions: 1. Will a Lifeguard hold me at height while hunting? 2.How do you rappel/ can you rappel safely with one ?

    Brummell lock continuous loop.

    I used a 4 inch loop from my saddle loops to my new amsteel bridge. Don’t know if this video is on here, but I found it pretty helpful.

    Amsteel bridge locked Brummell question

    So I made an amsteel bridge, intended to be 28”. Came out more like 26”. But my question is 2 parts. With the length of the bury I have a very small section in the middle that’s skinnier than the bury sections, which nearly meet each other. Do I need to be worried about the skinny section( this...

    Need some input on my tree tether...

    So I’ve run out of time to eye splice my rope for a tree tether before I go hunting this weekend and I’m not comfortable rushing it. So I need some input on what type of knot to use to make my tree tether with half inch double braid rope. Thanks in advance folks. Happy hunting this season.

    Tetherd mantis thether line question..

    So I was watching a review of the mantis and I got an up close view of the tree tether. Is the rope sourced from R&W rope ? Just curious. <edited for terrible grammar>

    Thinking I need to upgrade my tree tether rope.

    I’ve been using my HSS tree rope as my main tether to the tree. It’s probably about 4 years old now, and looking into it, I can’t find a kN rating on it. And someone on amazon responded to a question saying it only had a 1000 lb weight rating. None of this gives me the warm fuzzys. Since I’m...

    It’s been a while...

    So, I haven’t been on in a super long time. Last season I only hunted one weekend because my wife broke her wrist and I couldn’t get away. Getting ready for hunting season again and I happened to notice it seems like there’s been quite an increase in saddle hunting content on the YouTube, and...

    Homemade tree saddle

    Ok folks, here's the finished product. I'll post a series of pictures. This saddle project began with the idea to do a sit drag but larger. I don't have the dimensions with me at the moment but I know that what I originally made was about the same length from end to end, and the height or width...

    Stopper knot

    What are you guys' recommended stopper knots for the end of a tether line ?

    Legs fall asleep ?

    Do you guys often have your legs fall asleep if you're in a saddle that you're sitting in as opposed to just leaning against ? Is there anything you find that helps ?

    Tree tether

    Can I get some pics of tree rope tethers, like the connection to the tree. I use a HSS tree rope for my harness in my stands, and it looks like basically the same idea when hanging in a saddle but if you were to swing in the direction of the loop with the line you're attached to, will it remain...

    Hi everyone !

    Hello to everyone. I'm a newer hunter and I stumbled across some YouTube videos on saddle hunting and I was very intrigued. I hunt state land in southeast Michigan, and up north near Oscoda for a few days during rifle season. Bow hunting is where my interest really lies. A lot of the areas I've...
