Just a quick thought. Saddle Hunting is awesome & the word is out! This has meant huge growth in perceived market shares for YOUR dollars & opinions! We’re still a “small” niche group but some cool stuff is coming our way. With this fast growth has come some new challenges. We’ve lost a little of the think tank DIY vibe that made this place popular (b/c you can just buy it now). But also with all the new personalities on the site it’s really getting chippy for no real reason! Sometimes you have to agree to disagree & move on, getting the last word “in written form” just escalates things & creates a circus. It doesn’t really benefit anyone & then stifles good discussion & differing viewpoints by forcing things to be shut down. In the coming year saddle hunting will continue to grow. There’s gonna be more guys rappelling with Paracord & build diy platforms from aluminum foil........ let’s help people stay safe, but let’s not conduct business on this forum in a way that makes people feel unwelcome!! Also with growth there have been a lot of changes to how manufacturers & those that have relationships with manufacturers communicate here. This is new ground for all & everyone needs a voice, so have some patience while this is all worked through. There’s over 10k people here can we dial it back to basics & roll with it so this place ,can continue to be a valuable resource to all things saddle hunting??
