    Barrie, Ontario, Canada spring 2022 meetup....

    I've had some discussions with Steve of Saddle Hunting Canada about organizing a saddle hunters meet up in the Barrie area this Spring, once the winter snows subside and the arctic temperatures moderate. Gonna try and have a selection of saddles to try out, including the Canadian-made Stini...

    EWO Squirrel or Treehopper steps for ROS?

    I want to put together a 3-step ROS to complement my JX3 saddle. The key question is what type of steps to buy: EWO Squirrel or Treehopper steps, and why? The Squirrels are a lot more expensive, but may be more durable being aluminum rather than composite. Looking for pros/cons/comparisons to...

    Yard Glider instead of a jet sled?

    I'm curious if anyone has ever tried using a Yard Glider (https://yardglider.com/) instead of a sled to retrieval of big game? When moose hunting, we usually drag out our animal with an ATV and just drag it behind. I was thinking a glider like this would protect the hide a bit more and slide...

    Short bridge for JX3 Hybrid?

    What is the recommended short bridge option for the JX3 for SRT ascents? JX3 have a pre-made one, but having both that and the long one attached seems like it would be awkward and/or cluttered. Anyone had luck with an Amsteel adjustable Utilibridge instead of the stock/short JX3 bridges? I've...

    Woohoo....the JX3 Hybrid I ordered some time ago (before the price increase) has been shipped! Can't wait! Probably be a week before it gets here since it has to cross the border into Canuckia. Yeah...I've "seen the light"! LOL By the time it gets here, there won't be much time left in the...

    Arrrrrrg! Loose dogs on "public" land....

    I was out in the nearby county forest yesterday, since we had gotten 2-3" of white stuff the night before. Still trying to pattern a buck I've spotted on one of my trailcams recently. Got to one of my spots and was sitting on a stump for an hour or so due to the wind being right. Basically...

    Occasional SRT: Hand ascender or Ropeman/Kong/RollNLock with 'biner?

    As I wait for my saddle to arrive, I'm acquiring other gear I'm gonna need or think I want. Definitely plan to rappel down, so figured SRTing up once in a while (in case I drop something or nature calls too insistently and have to go down). Don't currently plan to use SRT as my go-to ascent...

    One Stick/Rappel/SRT tips/tricks for JX3 Hybrid?

    I've got a JX3 on order....was wondering if anyone has any tips/tricks they can share for how to do one stick/rappel/SRT with this saddle, since it's a bit different than a normal fabric saddle? I was thinking that it might be a bit more awkward to use these techniques with the JX3 since the...

    Origin of the terms knaider/swaider?

    I'm curious as to where the terms knaider/swaider originated? Did some searching here and on the web, but haven't found the answer. I presume knaider comes from: knee aider. Makes sense. But for the life of me, I can't deduce the origin of the term swaider? If you can clear up this mystery...

    Attaching quick link to rappel rope: Scaffold knot or sewn loop/girth hitch?

    I'm looking to buy a 40' Canyon Elite rappel rope, and the supplier will put in in an eye at the end for a reasonable fee. So....wondering what the pros/cons might be of getting a rappel rope with a sewn loop at one end and using that to girth hitch to the quick link versus using a straight...
