Hey Guys... I'm new to saddle hunting. I've been researching and looking at different DIY saddles on this forum and videos for several months and finally decided to give it a try. This is the completed version of my DIY project. I used a Fusion RCH attached by quick clips to the sit drag with a battle belt attached to the sit drag by thread injection, sum dump pouches and an amsteal blue bridge. I made the lineman rope and tether out of some 12mm petzl rope i had. Both are fitted with prusik knots and prusik tenders (not shown). i did have most of the items on hand, with the exception of the sit drag and amsteal blue and 1 dump pouch and the accessory hanging strap. so all said and done i have about $75 into it and it weighed 5.8# as pictured with tether, lineman rope and accessory hanging strap in the pouches.

Welcome from coastal NC!! Looks like you did a fantastic job happy and safe hunting!! But I will say that the DIY is almost as much fun as the actual hunting from them!!! LOL
