How's it going fellow saddle hunters? I'm going to go out on a limb. "no pun intended" I'm just a cheap hunter and don't want to spend $100's on a saddle. So I decided to start simple. I'm making a basic sit drag out of a bed sheet. Only difference is I'm not just using a looped ends with a girth hitch. I decided to sew in a continuous loop to hold my bridge. I don't have a sewing machine so I'm doing it by hand. I'm not worried about my stitching because I am using a back stich seam stitch. As well as a block stitching with an x in it. So I know it will hold my weight. Not to mention the fact that I will also be using a regular harness that came with my hang on stand. So for safety issues I will be secured to the tree with the harness on a tree tether. With two prusik knots, one for the harness and one for the sit drag. So if the sit drag fails then I will still be protected by the harness. So I'm sure it will perform Just like a sit drag. I just want to try it out to see if saddle hunting is a good fit for me. I hunt all public land so I have to do this as light as possible and contend with any legal issues with the game wardens. I'm looking for feedback on if this will be a viable way to make a sit drag. All comments welcome. Have a great day . I'll get a few photos up soon
