I am looking to get into tree saddle hunting. I am from Canada and having a hard time finding local information. I had some questions I was hoping someone could help me with:
1) Has anyone used a "Rock-climbing" harness as a cheaper option instead of a saddle? (Either on its own or with some DIY modifications done)
- I have seen some of the posts on DIY and I'm just not sure I have the ability or the skills to do that much DIY on the first saddle I use while being able to ensure I am safe.
2) Is there anywhere that a guy can buy used saddles or climbing gear? (I see there are stuff on here, but am thinking more local stores (Canada) I can maybe go in and try on and talk to someone about the gear to ensure I have a clear understanding of it.)
Thanks in advance for any input.
