    SRT paracord preset knot hack

    Apologetic preamble: This is really just for SRT preset folks who are interesting in nerding out on the tiniest details. Like me. I've noticed two things that bug me about my SRT presets, and I figured out a hack that works to fix both. I've been using it all season to make sure it doesn't...

    First Lite KitLink with the Saddle?

    Hi All, Just got a First Lite Sanctuary set. Nice and toasty. But I can't figure out how to take advantage of the kitlink feature with the saddle. Kitlink is where the jacket has slits that open up, so you can put your hands into the built in muff in the bibs. Super comfy and warm standing up...

    EZV help getting the hang of it.

    Received my EZV, chose my insert based on chronoed arrows. Yesterday I sighted in at 20 yards, w/ tic marks shooting at spots. Easy. Fast. Ruined fletching on two arrows and I thought, "I'm gonna love this thing!" Shifted to a 13" cardboard circle with notches in the sides, and my groups are...

    Adjustable webbing bridge? How adjustable?

    Hi all! I’m considering an adjustable webbing bridge. I SRT and DRT and like a short bridge on ascent and a long bridge once I’m at height. I’m interested in a bridge that can easily make the transition. I use my climbing rope as my tether a lot and would like to just get to height and lengthen...

    amsteel CRUZR adjustable bridge, not very adjustable?

    Hi All, I've got a Cruzr saddle that I love. I got the adjustable bridge. Breaking that prussic to get it to adjust is really hard. I basically have to push the knot open, with no tension on the bridge at all, and then I can barely get it to slide through. I undid the prussic, and redid it...

    Saddle for a little lady?

    Hi All, My girlfriend is getting really into saddle hunting. She loves my cruzr XC but it is too big. It is a size 2. She's 5'4" and weighs 120 w 26 waist. She was thinking a 1 might cut it, but she's definitely smaller than how it is spec'd. What do folks think? Is there a saddle well...

    Simple SRT preset discovery: Pull up, bow line and pull down rope, all one loop.

    EDIT/PSA: Don't do this. It works sometimes and is slick. But sometimes it ties itself up in inexplicable ways 40' in the air, and the process of dealing with it, proximate to the the buck's bedding area you've been working on, in the dark, then in gray light, then at sunrise then hearing...

    WE/Primal Treehopper ROS hybrid issues?

    Hey All, I am really digging my primal step for a platform with the aluminum DIY mod. I also bought 2 treehopper steps to add a little flexibility for getting around the tree. That isn’t working so well. They twist, sag, make noise, etc. Im new to the ROS thing. So maybe my expectations for...

    DRT/MRS on leaning trees.

    Hey all, I’m getting into rope climbing and descending this year and am really enjoying the DRT/MRS method the nysaddlehunter folks advocate. It is a good core workout, but I don’t mind. Truth is, I need it. I’m having a challenge on leaning trees though. Either I’m swinging in the breeze...

    Rope Choice for SRT/MRS climbing

    Hey All, I've been practicing DRT/MRS climbing in my saddle w/ my friend's tree work rope, and I'm sold. But I want my own rope. I'm looking for it to be: Safe and adequately wear resistant to hold up over a limb Light and compact compatible w/ using a blake's hitch (I like the knots more...
