hey. been a bowhunter for 30+ years, from recurve to compound to selfbow to longbow and back again. currently hunting with a custom 3piece recurve made by a friend and a bowtech compound.
hunted 'elevated' the whole time...had every kind of stand made....but found this place as I recently got into rock climbing and was looking up using my rc harness as a safety harness, and got intrigued about saddle hunting.
I already use a set of leverage 3 step climbing sticks to get to stand height, modified by removing the strap/buckle/and W bracket, and replaced with a lonewolf versa button and amsteel blue rope.
have the rock harness, locking 'biners, 11mm 9mm and accessory cord for ropes and ordered some 1" milspec tubular webbing and also ordered a sitdrag. I have a few harnesses that came with tree stands over the years that are unopened, thinking I could repurpose some of that webbing for loops and belts and stuff.
anyway...seasons in full swing up here so I'm not sure I'm going to get to this custom stidrag mod in time for 2016...but we'll see.
