Hey everybody. I’m looking for feedback and input. Brand new to the saddle hunting and tried the search function, but couldn’t find what I was looking for. I’m planning on climbing SRT and doing a bunch of presets where I elk hunt. I tried to put some up while I was doing trail cams the other day. Most of the trees (Doug fir and Nobel) in the area I hunt the branches slope down and away from the trunk. Some had no branches at all. I spent a lot of time with a throw bag, and was quickly humbled.
Instead of just looping around the backside of the trunk with paracord, I was thinking of climbing with sticks and setting a rock type anchor with a lagscrew attaching a tri-link and running cord loop through it. Or running a short piece of chain around the trunk (just over a branch) with the same tri-link and para cord loop. I was still going to make sure my rope girth hitched the tree when setup, so I guess my anchor doesnt even need to be rated.
Am I overthinking this? Is there easier ways I’m overlooking? Also thought about a single eye screw on the back of the tree with cord ran through it.
Any help would be appreciated.
