    "IF" I would have...……...

    been using a saddle I probably would have killed my second largest buck to date :(… Since I haven't pulled the trigger on a new saddle/sling I have had several instances where I would have been better off having one!! Having had an original model Trophyline stolen from our camper several years...

    Tether/Prussik material check

    I purchased 11mm Sampson Static Kernmantle for the tether and Sterling 6.8mm Hollow Block2 13.5" loop for the prussik, will both these work??? The Sampson is dark blue but that doesn't bother me if it is strong enough!! I made the loop by tying an overhand knot and sewing the tag end into the...

    Strapping Question

    I have access to a bunch of cloth "Lashing" material that is stamped with a 5,100# rating that I currently use, in conjunction with the associated buckles, to fasten my DIY steps to the tree. It measures 1.1875" wide and the only thing I hate is that it is white, I even tried dying it with...

These are to be used in conjunction with my ladders, I also build, to make a very comfortable saddle set up. You can stand on these and use the inside...

    Saddle Platform

    Fab'd these up yesterday for an upcoming trip to Ohio, should work in conjunction with my ladders I build to get me 360 around the tree...... These are made using 3/4" and 1/2" EMT conduit and I only need one ratchet strap to hold them in place. I will use a bungee to hold them against the tree...

    Am I nuts

    Now that I started tinkering with this "SADDLE" thing again I have been playing with multiple ideas, here is my latest. My son borrowed my turkey seat this past spring and broke one of the leg brackets so I got to thinking...… What if I attached straps to it and made sort of a Bosun's...

    Sit Drag safety thought

    Bare with me here. What if you wore a standard harness, with linesman loops, and had a bridge connected to those THEN had a sit drag attached connected to the bridge with prussic which you could adjust to take the weight off the harness once at height. Make sense?? Clear as mud??? Just thinking...
