With how much my amsteel is starting to fray I plan on replacing it at the end of the season. For a few $$ why chance your life.I probably go overboard with it, replace all my Amsteel every year.
Im using 1 inch webbing, water knot on one side and an Astrialpine cobra frame triglide (22kn/9/kn shock) on the other. I like the adjustability. When one sticking, I back it up with a tag end water knot and carabiner, then remove that once in the tree. This works well for me.
Yes. I use a rch with a sit drag and the rabbit runner through the tie off on the rch. Not ideal but it’s worked for the last couple seasons.You’re using the Rabbit runner as the bridge?
Can always dye it. Or just get it dirtyfor those that got the BD Rabbit runner, seems like they only come in white. are there any other less obvious color options?

I am just getting into saddle hunting and am DIY most everything. I am planning on using 8mm Sterling rope for a bridge and using two prusik knots to make an adjustable bridge. I saw on YouTube how to tie your prusiks to the rope ends then pull the rope out of the prusik holding that twist and then girth hitch to your saddle rings or loops then feed the rope back into the prusik and then knot the end of your rope.
I came up with how to easier hold the knot shape. I will just loosen the knot on the rope and then slip a zip tie or piece of wire between the rope and prusik twist and secure the twist then slip it off and on. You can also probably use this as a belt to hold the saddle to you when you are walking in to hunt. This is all in the experimental stage right now.
I wouldn't do anything like what RIT dye recommends (heating it up in the water). Also, I doubt that anything sticks to Dyneema once formed. The manufacturer claims you can soak it in just about anything and it is unaffected (gasoline, acetone, etc) but of course I'm not trying that either!
