That’s what I thought. I saw it and cringed. I put in a polite attempt to help out but was shut down. Not going to start an arguement
 
Its always the stupid accidents that make everyone else look bad. I see saddle hunting as a grass roots way of hunting. What attracts me to it is learning from others and people pointing out that I might be headed in the wrong direction.
 
I just got reminded why I never comment on anything on social media. I saw it and cringed thinking someone new would see it and think it’s common practice. I understand he is comfortable with it. Although I don’t agree with it, that is his choice. Natural selection may or may not take its course. I tried.
 
Help a noob out. What am I looking at? I see the crazy knot on the ropeman. Dont see any tail coming out of the ropeman. Just trying to learn.

I got corrected on an idea I had, which i appreciated and still trying to research all the correct alternative methods. I understand I'll need a couple years or more thorough research on anything before its put into practice. Perfectly fine with my stock kestrel until I feel more confident to jump out of the nest. Obviously with forum approval. But just trying to use criticism/correction above as another learning point but dont know exactly what's going wrong.

He's using a ropeman on amsteel.

And putting a knot in amsteel thinking that will save him. Can’t knot amsteel.

Any other things, guys?

Good catch.

That knot will never get used though. A ropeman doesn't slip like a friction hitch. Yes, it's technically a blunder, but using a hollow core, small diameter rope like that will probably bite him before the knot.
 
Looks like he should have just tied the carabiner on the Amsteel
Isn’t that the tag end tied up there?

Good grief God forbid I sure hope that he has a very good insurance! As my grand old pappi used say you can lead a thirty horse to water but can't make him drink it
