My personal Game changer

Is there an SRT model with a large pocket for rope? And a throwball and throwline pocket. Where can I put my bow? :grinning:
I wore this when I was hunting on Saturday. I was looking around for a belt and this was handy. It worked fine.
 
Gonna ask the only question I can think of what about layering? Are you gonna build the saddle into your cold weather external layer? Mid layer? Hopefully not, but base layer? Seems like too much planning for me at 4am however, good luck. Please make sure to use top notch fabric. Remember the road to hell is paved with good intentions...

I will be integrating a 2650lb webbing harness into my hunting jeans replacing waist and beltloops rear seams and crotch seams , only thing would be figure out how to incorporate the leg straps through the jeans for security and adjustability

That's not 22kN which is the accepted climbing standard. Maybe you would want to make it out of stronger webbing to meet the ratiing. How about sewn on seat belt webbing. I don't think that's been done before. :laughing:
 
Didn't James Bond have a tuxedo with a built in climbing harness. I think it was in Diamonds are Forever. It worked for him. :grinning:

Awesome!! Good luck hope that it works out for you!! I think every million dollar idea starts out with somebody saying “that’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard”. Luckily the millionaires (that I’ve met) didn’t listen.

Isn't it uncomfortable sitting on one strand of 1 inch webbing? I would go wider. Most prototypes go through several modifications until the product is final. Don't get discouraged. It is a good idea, IMHO.

It's blue water mil spec as the way it's put together I feel no pressure in legs or waist it has 2 inch seat webbing in it and I was going to add some padded liners to inside

I'm sorry I did say it was going to be for me at least sorry if I offended anyone

Do your thing brother. Hey, from a product perspective I think a challenge you will face is you need to have a product that excels in two areas, saddles and pants. If your pants are not as effective/marketable/desirable as current product offerings then then the benefits of your saddle will have to overcome that deficiency. It’s not a better mousetrap if the integration of the two products is not perceived as greater value than the markets favorite pants and saddle pairing.

Good luck.

I'm not looking to change the market or out do some manufacturing sector because in reality the $15 pants I have are made in and by same place as the $50-100 pants and being raised and learning from my grandpa I don't need the top of the line name brand hot thing this year for me functionality and comfort mean more than make me invisable to inferred or game can't see me that take the challenge and thrill and the peace I get out of it. I truly thank everyone's constructive criticism on this and look forward to keeping y'all updated on their performance in the field I have noted every concern brought up and even though I may have given I have thought of that on them I still note for reference point again thanks and if y'all have more send them it's only going to help and that's what we are here for RIGHT?
Thanks y'all

Good luck with your idea buddy. Just be sure you're making everything safe and testing the hell out of it at ground level. Also I applaud you for handling some of the "constructive criticism" the way you did. Some guys get mad and want to leave. Guys around here have a way of joking or making jokes should I say about things that have come up in previous discussions. You new guys don't always get what they're talkin about. I like the fact that you didn't get offended and stomp off. Good luck to you. Just FYI the phrase game changer is seriously considered one of the worst things that you can possibly call something on this site. Kind of been overused.

I've noticed that my title has ruffled some feathers so I fixed it lol
 
I imagine most people laughed when tree saddles were mentioned back in the 70's.

What is a game changer is being up in the tree hunting deer. They mostly don't look up so don't know you are there.
This is my first year tree hunting. I now know why people risked the dangers of 2x4s nailed to trees in the old days.
I would still be hunting on the ground if I wasn't tethered to the tree the whole time.

The evil ones in Mississippi look up all year.
 
Took it out Sunday did some testing in the field it's has potential and I will be working on it some more but for now it's time to get focused on hunting so off came saddle pants 1.0 and on went regular pants and my fleece lined saddle I diy'ed and I felt the problem with the saddle pants as soon as I tethered up they have too much adjustability caused them to bind and ride up and to the ones advising me about the 1in webbing hurting in a way you were correct but same time I took in to account and added butt support helping but not eliminate over all a good start working on 2.0 after season gots some ideas to make more suitable for any pants so your not stuck in the same more of an add on option for pants kinda like ordering extra pickles you don't need em but hey why not and yes my bridge needs adjusted 20191103_071748.jpg20191103_071748.jpg20191103_071807.jpg20191103_075614.jpg
