What are you currently running. In your setup?

We call it the “saddlehunter effect”
Every time saddle hunters find something that works for our application, it gets snatched up faster than businesses can re-stock.

Get ready to frequently check for items you may not need yet just so you have it before they run out... haha.

Consider one of the easier-releasing hitches (i like a distel, test it thoroughly to make sure it holds well with your ropes and always have a stopper knot). Also consider a tender on lineman belt.

What is a tender? Sorry, newbie trying to make saddle life easier. I too can not get my hands on ropeman 1. I can get ropeman 2 all day but can not find a reason why they are not being used.

I use mini kongs from eastern woods outdoors, but there are lots of other options. The idea is a ring or pulley attached to your carabiner with the tag end of your rope threaded through it. When you pull the tag end of the rope uoward/out - the tender is pulled up to push the bottom of your friction hitch, and it slides up the rope. This gives you 1-handed adhustment.

I just ordered 2 Kong’s. How are they tied in? Does the rope matter? It’s not load bearing is it?
