Cool Saddle Bridge MOD for Latitude

[Kevin2]

The Amsteel bridge adjustment can be sticky, very sticky, with the prusik knot on my Method 2, and that is about my only real complaint with it. So, this MOD has fixed that.

This mod is for the Latitude Saddles specifically. You can adjust the bridge with one hand by installing the continuous loop and forming a tender by attaching via a girth hitch in seconds. Also, you switch from the prusik knot to the schwabisch hitch, then you'll have an easy time with adjustments as well. The video by Platinum Pursuit Outdoors does a great job of walking you through the transformation.

Was simple to put in place with these videos. WAY better!

You took your saddle to the bowling alley?

Golf course if you must know! LOLOL

I don't see what that's Latitude specific, thanks!

Agreed. Great idea nonetheless. Did basically the same thing on my Transformer with some paracord.

I wrote it up as able to transfer to other systems at first, but I wasn't sure.

Well, I tried it but must be doing something wrong. I just ended up with a knot that doesn't slide

Try again. You may have too many coils making the hitch bite too hard on the bridge rope.

Also, which ropes and what diameters of rope are you using for your bridge and hitch cord?

 

[htimsds9999]

I'm using the amsteel that came with it. It seems like I'm just tying a knot around the continuous loop

Anyone have the link to the 'slowed down version' for some of us slowed down members?

 

[htimsds9999]

I got it with 3 loops

 

[htimsds9999]

Lol....no I don't

 

[Kevin2]

Sweet! I just saw your other posts. I used 3 as well and it seems to work fine.

[htimsds9999]

I thought I had it. Then I undid it to try to do it again and I can't reproduce it seems like I'm just kind of big knot

 

[Kevin2]

Make sure you do the pulling part to invert the last loop. I had to pull very hard to get it to pop.

Right on I'll keep trying

2x. I haven’t done it with Amsteel but did get the same method to work using climbing rope/hitch cord on my saddle. That last inversion to finish the hitch is a little tricky.

I did it on my method 2 this evening and it’s is a lot better… I’m using a 6” 1/8”continuous amsteel loop that’s girth hitched between like the video above. Thanks for posting the video, I really like platinum pursuit YouTube channel, I met the guy at the GAOS two years ago and had a good time talking with him.

I wonder if this is something you can do with a lineman belt or tree tether?
