    My first DIY 3-step etrier

    Been playing around with different climbing methods, and wanted to try an aider on with my WE stepps. Was gonna buy ine, but I already had a roll of 1" nylon webbing here at the house, so I decided to try making my own. Pretty happy with the way it turned out. The space between steps is a little...

    Tether and linemans belt

    So my setup last year was pretty hasty. I got interested in saddle hunting about mid archery season and decided I needed it immediately. Picked up a RCH and SitDrag on Amazon prime, some free arborist rope from a buddy in the business and started hunting. I'm pretty sure had way too much stuff...

    Am I a genius, or just stupid...

    I've been racking my brain on trying to find a way to girth hitch both sides of sit drag bridge with my 8mm rope, and I think I figured it out, but what some second opinions before trying it. What I did was tie a monkey fist at each end, double it over pass both ends through the loop. On the the...

    Anyone using stealth cams?

    I'm looking at getting some more cameras for this season, and have been looking between Browning strike force and stealth cams. I know the Browning's are going to be good, but some of the better stealth cam options can get me 3 for the price of 2 Browning's. However, I'm willing to pay a little...

    Whitetail Institute soil sample kit

    Anyone ever used these before putting out food plots? I'd like to start working on getting a plot ready, but it'd be in the woods and I'm afraid the soil won't be any good. I'm wondering how the results will come and if I'll even know what to do with the results when I get them.

    Anyone hang their cameras high in the tree?

    Was wondering if anyone here hangs there camera in an elevated position on trees. Im always getting pictures of fur and eyeballs, or bucks turned just right where I can't really tell what they're wearing. I put out a few mineral sites yesterday and took a wild edge step and my...

    Knaider with sticks, not working for me.

    I currently have 3 full length Muddy Aerolite sticks, and I'm using 8mm GM climbing rope (from Amazon) for rope mods, and they lock up great on the tree when using them like they're intended. I made a knaider the other day and thought I could attach a loop to the bottom of each stick and it...

    Anyone have an Alps pack?

    Want sure what section to ask this question, but I've been looking to replace my old Walmart camo backpack with a real hunting pack hear towards my new saddle addiction. Id like to keep my budget under $100. I was looking the Alps Crossfire, and it looked it'd be great for holding a platform and...

    Using the Speedy Stitcher...

    I bought a speedy stitcher before this past season and used it to sew on a belt and MOLLE loops to my sit drag. Loved how easy it was, but after season I noticed all of my knots were coming untied. I finished all of my stitches with square knots, followed by a backup overhand knot. All of them...

    Opinions on this platform idea

    I work in a machine shop and we have access to tons of material, machines, and a water jet. I drew this up on AutoCAD and wanted to run it by anyone before I start on it, to see what you all thought. The bottom two images are halfway folded, and fully folded. Material would be 1x1x1/8 aluminum...

    Using WE stepps with sticks

    This has been a helluva week for me as far as climbing methods go. Friday evening my dad called me and told me he found his old Spurs. I stopped by their house and picked them up, got home, made some new straps from webbing and buckles I had at home, and was up in a tree right after that. Then...

    No love for us SitDrag guys?

    It's obvious this whole saddle hunting thing is growing quick. With many new guys (like myself) just trying to get our feet wet, it's hard to make a decision on a first setup when our options are, spend $200+, or buy a $35 SitDrag and learn how to use a speedy stitcher. Something I would love...

    My $20 DIY platform

    Thought I'd share some pics and info on my platform I just finished today. I got two old hang on stands for free from a buddy who upgraded to some bigger ones. First I removed the platform and the seat. Flipped the stand upside down and drilled new holes for the seat to mount above the cross...

    Couple questions on sit drag/rc harness combo

    For the last few weeks Ive been trying to absorb as much info as possible on how to get setup for saddle hunting. I've decided I'm going to go with a harness/sit drag combo to start out. However it seems like there's so much info that it's extremely overwhelming and a but difficult to comprehend...
