Complicated or not, pick up this video starting at 17:10 and tell me a guy who purchased a new saddle less than a month ago should be attempting it. This IS experienced climber-level stuff.
Nobody is highlighting the foot in the loop factor here. Once you cinch that foot up, if you slip and go inverted, it’s game over for a person not trained and/or physically capable of advanced rope climbing techniques. You’ve loaded that friction hitch and brought it closer to your bridge connection point. You’re now reliant on your free foot/leg to assist you in flipping back upright, which is also above your head.
I believe we have gotten far removed from the purpose of deer hunting. We’re shooting critters, not mountaineering. I, for one, will be moving back to a full body fall arrest system, with lineman loops. I’ve already made the move back to hang on stand hunting, and will likely be doing more and more ground hunting. I have a wife and daughter I love, and whom love me. Chasing weight and cool gear gadgets just simply isn’t worth the risk of killing a deer.
My advice to all: if you’re interested in rope climbing as a hobby or activity, go learn it from a certified professional and consider keeping it in its place. Perhaps deer hunting isn’t that place.
