    First hunt of the season amnesia.

    Am I the only one who gets so excited to be hunting again I forget basic stuff? The other day was my first sit of the year and even after some practice sits I screwed the pooch. I forgot to put something to drink in my pack and forgot my backup battery for my phone (need my phone at all times...

    Not your typical Wisconsin opening day.

    Well my opening day was not what I thought it would be this year. At the last minute I got in on a lease with some friends so for once I have non public land to hunt. We got 320 acres in Lincoln county. So yesterday we went up to scout and set stands. Im the only one with a saddle but maybe I'll...

    Rubber boots

    Hey guys, I was just wondering how many of us wear rubber boots vs leather and fabric boots. I know they say rubbers are supposed to be better for scent but even with 1200G insulation my feet freeze in rubbers but are warmer in less insulated non rubber boots.

    Handy product for customizing.

    I just wanted to put this out there as an option for guys. This is InstaMorph. It is a very cool product you can use to make or repair stuff. For example today I made a bracket for my tree umbrella to screw into and I can strap it to the tree and stay public land legal. It is available on amazon...

    Warm boots?

    Question for the masses. I have a pair of cabellas 1200 gram rubber boots and my feet froze last year even with heated insoles. Looking for recommendations on warm boots. I live in Wisconsin so it can get a bit nippy here. Thanks in advance. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Umbrella?

    Question for the group. I have been thinking about getting a tree stand umbrella but am having a hard time finding one that will work. I am looking for one that is fairly compact when folded up and that straps to the tree. All the ones I have found screw into the tree and that wont work because...

    Tethrd Versa straps!!

    They are available now!!! Lol I snagged myself a set because things saddle related tend to sell out quick. Bye Bye cam straps and a little more weight.

    Bullman step strap?

    Hey guys, I was thinking of adding two steps to go with my platform at 3 and 9 o'clock positions on the tree. My question is will a quick release buckle (OCB) get them tight enough for this purpose? I was thinking of trying it out with these steps. I would like to use squirrel steps but not in...

    Dump pouches

    I like many of us are waiting for SYS haulers from Tethrd. I only ordered one SYS hauler ES from them but while I wait I picked up two of these Pouches and they are nice. Now I know it is not as light as the ones from tethrd but they don't weigh much at all and fit good on my mantis. Just...

    Getting closer!

    Got my double steps installed on my Lone wolf sticks and decided to add some grip tape to my Predator platform. Can’t wait to get out and test the new additions. My main complaint with the Lone wolf sticks was no double top step. I hated standing on one foot or staggered while getting the next...

    Custom paint job

    Well for my first camo paint job I think it turned out pretty good. A few pieces of stealth strips and there is no noise folding it. I also got some double steps for my lone wolf sticks. I am adding one to the top of each stick because that is the only place it bugs me having the single steps...

    Great customer service from Tethered

    On Saturday 7/27 I received my Tethered order and like all of us I immediately tried everything out. Unfortunately when I put the MicroFit adjusters on the saddle I found one of them to be too short and it caused the saddle to be tighter on that side. So I emailed Tethered Saturday afternoon...

    Saddle safety.

    I have seen several posts about safety and backups and it gets me thinking. Guys have said they don't like the one point of connection unlike a regular tree stand setup. I don't know about you but when I am in my tree stand I am sitting there in my stand with my harness hooked to a single...

    Yay!!! It’s on the way!

    Woooohoooo!! My saddle is on its way and will be here this weekend. Now if the rest of the stuff would ship. Well mainly the platform and recliner I would be set. I can make due without the sys hauler and SBW heater for now. My Mantis is an XL and it shipped exactly 8 weeks after order. I...

    Superday pack question

    Hi guys, I have been looking at getting a new pack for the coming season and it will be my first in a saddle. I am thinking about getting a supperday pack. If anyone that uses it could answer a few questions for me. I am getting a predator platform and dose it fit in the pack and I will be using...
