So here is my plan. I have no saddle experience, but have been using a RC harness to treestand hunt and hang stands for a few years. I was going to wait until after the SW PA meet up to try some stuff out to see what I wanted but I don't see us having one soon enough to allow me to order and practice in time for archery season. I went ahead and ordered an H2 saddle that is a few weeks away from arriving. As far as climbing goes I ordered and have a set of 4 20" Helium sticks. Right now my plan is to add a 2 step aider to attempt to one stick up and would like to rappel down using Oplux for the rappel rope, and possible just use the same rope for my tether. I'd like to use a Scout platform on top of the stick for short hunts and probably going to pick up a Ridge Runner for all day sits. Does this sound like a sound plan? Also, how many feet of Oplux would I need to make up a 24' rappel rope, a tether (just in case) and linesman's belt? Should I go with a safeguard, or something like a Grivel belay device? Since I plan on using the Oplux for all ropes should I pick up a Kong Duck too? I already have some 11mm stiff rope that I'm using with a Ropeman 2 that I might decide would be better for the linesman. Man this rabbit hole gets deep fast.
