I have been wanting to get the hys strap and the predator pack but figured why not just try to make it my self with my new sewing machine. Some nylon strap and 600d cordura later...

    Finally getting around to busting out the sewing machine for some DIY ideas I’ve had during the season. Was going to make a DIY saddle using some webbing and mesh, but I have a few destroyed parachutes laying around I’ve been wondering what to do with, so I put some into a saddle panel and a...

    Nonskid Paint?

    I bought a Hawk Apex platform and want to make it slip proof. I'm not a fan of tape products, as they haven't lasted on tree stands. I had another idea, but can't seem to find the product. Navy ships have non-skid on the deck. It allows solid footing on wet decks when the ship is rocking and...

    Home made versastrap

    So, in the never ending effort to improve my hunting setup (lighter, quieter, faster), I came across the idea of versastrap on youtube videos. I figured I could make them easily myself, but after ordering the webbing, I discovered mention of stitching verses woven. For life support needs, since...

    My DIY platform and gear strap.

    First let me say I'm brand new to saddle hunting. I've heard of it for many, many years but didn't really look into it. The past few years of getting super frustrated spending weeks scouting, painstakingly dragging stands into the woods, and setting them up only to have other hunters set up near...

    Looking for my first platform. Predator, assassin, ridge runner, tree suite. Not picky and can make any of those work. I’m sure a million other guys are looking for one too but thought I would throw this out there in care anyone was on the fence about letting one go. Thanks all

    Artisan Outdoors Stick Platform

    I got my platform in a few days ago and got it all put together and gave it a try. Install was fairly simple. Two bolts that roughly matched up to the existing holes on my Heliums. They were just a smidge off, but not tightening one side before getting the other bolt started helped that, of...

    Lightest rope using the ropeman 1?????

    I'm wanting to change my tether and lineman belt to a lighter rope. I use the ropeman1 with my setup now and would like to continue doing so. I've seen where the oplux rope is great when it comes to light weight and strength but I would have to change to a Kong and I'm not really wanting to...
