    5.5lb climbing, platforming, & descending package - Solo Scout

    Saddle hunting is dangerous. People have died doing it. Know that if you hunt from an elevated position, there is a higher percentage of you not coming home to your loved ones than if you stay on the ground. Take the words/ideas of dudes on the internet with a grain of salt; very few of them are...

    Amsteel Aider with Hose Step

    I’m totally new to saddle hunting. So much so, that I haven’t even had a sit yet. Still waiting on gear. But, in the meantime, I did DIY up a step aider.

    Why you need Tethrd Versa Straps

    It's pretty obvious I've been putting out a lot of info lately. As my season gets closer I've thrown it into high gear and been rehearsing climbing methods, weeding out unnecessary items, cyber mapping areas I've already physically scouted and so on. With the massive influx of new saddle hunters...

    Thinking about adding an Etrier to my climbing method but concerned about safety.

    I've been thinking about adding an etrier to my current climbing method as opposed to a standard aider for my Wild Edge Steps to shave a little pack space and weight. Any climbing method aiders sound great to me from a standpoint of shaving weight and pack space, but I'd rather not sacrifice...
