Hey all! As the title states I am from GA. NW metro ATL specifically.
I have been exploring more and more public/private land that I don't hunt regularly so was looking into options for a run and gun system that will give me the flexibility I need.
A couple weeks later and low and behold I am now a YouTube expert without ever having sat in a saddle
.
Joking aside, I am very interested in the method as it seems to be just what I am looking for despite my naysaying hunting buddies.
I'm about as wet behind the ears as you can get (my vast array of YouTube experience aside of course). So much info it's a little daunting. My "hanging experience " caps out at hammock camping on hiking trips. Rapelling a few times but so long ago I doubt I remember how to tie a harness.
Comfort is important to me over weight (within reason) so I have been looking at the Guidos Web. It seems everyone uses something different and the sheer scope of individual mods is intimidating for this non climber. Still looking up terms when I have no clue what is being discussed.
And the climbing methods look kind of complicated to me with my lack of climbing experience. The sticks look easy but not sure I want to hump those in to some of the places I go.
I would love to find a way to try some of this stuff out (different saddles and climbing methods) before taking the rather pricey dive into gear purchase.
If there is a kind soul or two that wouldn't mind giving me a few pointers I would greatly appreciate it because this looks like a method that could conceivably replace the need for any future tree stand needs or fighting through thick brush with a climber on my back.
Anyway, pretty excited to be here to learn from you folks and appreciate any help you can throw my way.
