    Eberlestock packs

    I just bought the X2. Have you guys had trouble attaching the predator platform and a gun / bow to hike in? My climbing system is SRT, so i'd be carrying a rope, harness, gri-gri, ascender, and Camera equipment. Hope this pack is what i need!

    SRT Rope

    Good stuff. I agree I’d go thinner diameter next time. I think I got a 10.2mm from REI and it’s a bit stiff

    SRT Rope

    I had a rock climbing background coming into saddle hunting. I’d go with a 50 foot static rope. You can get them at REI for like 80 cents a foot. I went with 50 foot because I sometimes want to climb 25 ft, and you need at least double that to climb that high.

    Question for the rock climbing folks

    I should have prefaced my comment with I’ve been climbing for 13 years. I got into saddle hunting because I wanted to use all my RC gear. I feel like if you on a rope and have a gri gri and it’s on properly, it’s really hard to mess up while rapelling. I’m going to check out some other climbing...

    PVC platform ring

    so I made a couple of these tonight and made it into a platform with an NRS strap. Thanks for the idea! I’ll probably go with a predator style platform in the future, but this will get me hunting this weekend.

    Question for the rock climbing folks

    I tried it this weekend. I used a throw line and throw weight to get the rope in the tree. I then used a rock harness, a gri gri, and an ascender to clip the rope. I used webbing as my tether, which was connected to my bridge which was also made out of webbing. I have a sit drag that I used to...

    New to saddle hunting

    Thanks guys. I was wondering about throwing in the dark. I’m going to buy a throw weight and go get some mason line from Home Depot and go practice throwing behind my house. I learned some cool tricks from “Tree Fool” on YouTube, but need to try it out before I go hunt. Question - since your...

    New to saddle hunting

    I hike in for miles in the North GA mountains and have always hated carrying my stand. I knew I wanted to use my rock climbing gear to climb trees. I was just pumped when I found G2 outdoors and DIY sportsman. There is some great stuff on this forum.

I just bought a sit drag after going out in the yard and climbing a tree with a static rope, an ascender, and my petzl Grigri. I rigged up my eno...
