    So, been under the weather last few days... Went down to pull cam card and put out more corn. S.O.B. salt blocks GONE ? WTH ? Put out corn, look around see 2 logs across the small stream like a bridge...fly up to the house, check card. Two kids from neighbors (grand kids) were in my woods...

    Game changer...

    I'm sure it's been talked about a bunch of times...saddle back strap. I took a shoulder strap from a duffel bag which was never used, made 2 prusiks and wow, feels good having back support. If you're on the fence, try it. I could sleep in this thing, and also doubles as a sling on one shoulder...

    Practice...

    Did a little practice sit today while it was still cool out...4, 3-stepsticks, no aiders, 19' to platform was pretty easy. Sat/leaned for about 1 hour, and made a few adjustments ... just trying to get comfortable hanging from a small rope (yes, I know it's rated for like 6000+# or something-...

    Platform...

    Going to "The Great American Outdoor Show" in Harrisburg PA in February as I haven't been in a few years. I'll be looking at platforms I hope and also hope to score a decent "show deal" Who should I be looking for ? I don't want to break the bank.

    First sit...TEST

    Since I was bored and the weather is nice, I'm out of the deer woods grabbing a bite. (sitting in woods out front of house) I figured I'd try my saddle. I only went up 2 sticks and don't have a platform or anything, so I just stood on top stick for about 1/2 hour...a little unnerving, but I...

    TX5 Rayder

    I will say this is my first saddle and have nothing to compare it to except hang-ons and climbers. I gave it a test at ground level with my feet together as if in a tree. VERY comfortable and easy to move for shots, and I had NO pinch. I won't get to use this year as I had no practice time...

    gear bags

    Just ordered a TX-5 Rayder, will be a few weeks wait and I geeking on accessories. What bags for your ropes and such fit the bill and not break the bank. I don't want to put out too much just yet since this is my first saddle.

    Saddle starter...

    Ordered a Hawk Helium $209. (kit) Now reading a lot of bad reviews...90% are with the ropes. I'm fine with replacing ropes, already own a Ropeman1, and have LW steps. SO... whats wrong with a Hawk Helium besides ropes ? What other (NEW) saddle for a "newbie"

    New swinger, MD

    Been looking at for over a year, watched a lot of videos, and finally pulled the trigger on a Hawk Helium. At $200, I figured it was cheap enough to jump in and get my feet wet. I'm sure I'll have a lot of questions...thanks for having me.
