My personal Game changer

As I sat and putt the finishing touches on my saddle I had a game changing idea and after a few small safety pins later I will be changing the saddle game at least for me I will be with all the hipe about lightweight this and that the new idea weighs in at just 6oz and actually 100% feels like...

I have no idea how you remembered that existed but thank you to the deep recesses of your brain that have undoubtedly blocked out your first born’s birthday with the knowledge that thread exists.

So does this one:

DIY sub-1lb climbing stick adventure!

OK, so this is my first thread here on SH. Been lurking for a while. I watched the "Lightest Double Sticks to Date 1.2lbs" thread with interest. Not one to resist an engineering challenge, I wanted to see what I could come up with. Criteria: Sub 1lb, 9" wide step, 17" between steps, tight...

This thread is great. Just getting into this a couple years ago it’s amazing to be able to appreciate how much the early adopters and innovators did.

Furniture bracket ROS...

So I have been looking for brackets

That I could use for a platform. I finally found these, 3" by 3" with slots for a strap. I also should have the ability to mount a mini platform, about 3" by 6", should I want to increase surface area (think I will). I ordered five and will report back. I plan to put all five on one ratchet...

Scooter Foot Rest Platforms:

How to get strange looks. AKA DIY platform

So I went into a mobility scooter store and asked about foot platforms. The staff cock their head slightly. I show them pictures and they say let me look out back. They come back with one I smile. They say we have quite a few actually would you like to look. Of course I say yes as my smile...

For those who have been around here a while, dump something in this thread "from the archives" that makes you smile or laugh. DIY stuff from the "good old days" or ideas/info that helped you starting out. Saddle nostalgia...

Example, I'll go first with these classics: (Not my photos)

This is great but good lord some of the others literally have me in tears rn
 
And in this thread you can find at least two fleece saddles. One is a no sew saddle that has got the be the most comfortable saddle you can build in less than ten minutes and ten dollars. It also has no safety items so a RCH should be required. The other is the famous woobie sling by @BCHunter

Homemade saddle

I hear a lot of people talking about their sit drag/rch combo and or fleece. Seems like a great idea, but little Leary about sitting in homemade gear 20 feet up. Any thoughts on safety? Also would like some input on how y’all are adding linesman loops to RCH and how your doing the fleece saddle?

I thought this was known as the preacher's seat... Because the whole time you sat in it, you prayed it didn't break.

it was called a preacher seat. Onehair was a user name on bow site that posted a thread there about it. I think that was the first time I’d ever seen one.
 
Here’s another one.

NutterBuster's 7oz Pocket Tether

I threw a carabiner to my waist belt on my rope tether. Plan on the same for my webbing. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
saddlehunter.com

I started using this as a tether in 2019. There were many safety related questions. I really liked how compact a tether the webbing made so I decided to use it and and change it out every year. Looking at this old thread I now realize it’s four years old and I haven’t changed it. I think I’ll retire it in January. Probably the best thing @Nutterbuster ever introduced me to.

Ok that’s enough reminiscing. I’m getting a little teary eyed now so I’m going to go to bed.

Here’s a couple pics of @huck72412
One where he’s cheating on his girlfriend.

The other when he realized the value of his trophyline collection had plummeted after we finally got someone to build a streamlined saddle that worked.View attachment 96142View attachment 96143

That second picture reminds when he was calling dinosaurs at the last Saddleploosa I went to! LOL

Still use them. They were a cheap idea that would have worked ok but I’d say squirrel steps are superior!!

Ya. I had somehow missed that one in all my back reading. I thought the 2018 secret thread was the OG.

Definitely different times.
