    Any Fat Saddlehunters out there?

    340 lbs and 6'1". I'm okay with being fat (though trying to improve the situation--previously weighed 350, then got down to 240---over 5 years I made my way up to a peak of 375 lbs.I've taken about 35 lbs off in the last 2 months). My bones are normal size. :confused2: Hoping this info can...

    What's going to happen?

    The way I see it: Tree-stand with harness = higher risk of minor injury due to frequency of tree-stand failure and maintenance being missed, but being caught by fall arrest. Saddle = low frequency of failure due to better material, lower maintenance, constant attachment etc, but higher risk...

    What's going to happen?

    When one manufacturer gets hit with a lawsuit, they may go under. However, often the organization is just reformed under new names and entities. As I recall many of the manufacturers were included in a TMA meeting at the ATA. This is likely why. I have no affiliation with any industry...

    Too big for a saddle?

    Nope. I looked it up, but I don't see any sizes or weight ratings. That makes me a bit wary. The tree suit platform looks interesting, but again no weight rating I can find. Their steps also looking interesting. Potentially better than the ROS I started with a couple years ago...

    Too big for a saddle?

    I only seem to post to help out other hefty guys for some reason. I feel like the hunting industry is moving away from serving as many people as possible (which is ass backwards with us losing hunters every year), but maybe I'm being too sensitive. I hunted last year at around 350lbs, 6'1"...

    Saddle safety redundancy systems (what do you do?)

    Double amsteel bridges spliced to one side, carabiner to the other, double oplux tethers with separate carabiners around both tethers. Takes up less space than my previous predator rope set up despite being two of everything. I think my only single point of failure is the saddle. I try to use...

    Sold....12 Wild Edge Steps in Bag

    I am selling a set of 12 wild edge steps in a 12 step bag. I purchased these about a year ago to test out, they are just not my favorite climbing method so I am making room for more sticks. I used 3 of the steps on two different occasions to see if I liked them, other than that they have not...

    Saddle hunt exclusively?

    I still have stands out, but I just don't seem to find myself in them anymore. I like moving to new locations and find the saddle more comfortable.
