I built this saddle for my son. I just need to finish the leg straps. He said it's really comfortable and he's excited to saddle hunt with me this fall!

Yes, I was planning to climb the tree then drop a safety line down for him to connect to before he climbs up.
Great! Safest way to get a kid up a tree!
That thing is no joke! Good job. He'll be able to use that well into adulthood.
Guess I need to buy my oldest daughter a pair of crocs since she wants to go out with me this year...

Thanks you. I think it will be a long time before he out grows it.

The 2" polyester webbing I'm using has a break strength of 12,000 LBS. I sewed this saddle with size 207 / text 210 bonded polyester thread that has an average strength of 31 LBS. There are 8 separate box stitches per webbing loop. Each webbing loop took about 2 bobbins of thread. This is probably over kill, but I feel that is was necessary.
Safety first!

Here's the saddle that I will be hunting out of this season.
