The guy doing said that he had a mandatory waiting period for all potentially regrettable artwork. He said that usually he rolled with it, but that in this case he seriously questioned my good judgement.

Shouldn't have showed him the picture of papa in the dress...
 
Kinda late to the party here so excuse me if this has already been discussed but I must compliment ole nutterbusters hair style. Impeccable taste and my first thought was to pay close attention, as this man surely has life lessons to share. You surely didn’t disappoint either.
I rocked a solid mullet for a while till I had to go meet congressman Scalise in D.C. a few years back. The wife threatened me and I succumbed to the demand. Wasn’t gonna chance what was at stake.

Anyhow, keep up the good work!

Lol, I just got it all whacked off too!
 
Great video. The title made me giggle...the Kestrel in no way, shape, or form is slumming it lol. The Kestrel is a tank!

Great mods! This is what I love about saddle hunting...it's so personal. Everyone has different ideas and when we all contribute these ideas, saddle hunting grows! Way to go!

P.S. I know you were kidding about slumming it - but it still made me giggle.

You’re out of the loop! The title was a reference to someone’s comment in another thread.

Glad you liked it. I wanted something that would ease the tension it seems like everybody's been feeling lately.

However...and I'm not the army guy here so I may be wrong...I don't think I've ever seen a pound and a half tank. ;)
 
What 1” webbing material do you recommend and what knot are most using to tie the webbing directly to the saddle?

1" tubular nylon, and a figure 8 on a bight (retrace).
Actually a figure-8 follow through is not suggested for webbing. They do not lie flat/dress well, which compromises strength, ability to inspect, and lends to them potentially loosening up and slippage. The figure-8 should be reserved for rope only. A water knot(retraced overhand) is the correct knot. Technically any retrace knot should be backed up with a barrel knot and at leats 2" of tail.... though this practice is not always followed.

This is what I've been going off of for webbing. Overhand on a bight. Ok right?

YUP! Right on. and if you're not able to get what you need through it and dont want to ad any hardware to the system(i.e. tying a bridge to fixed rappell rings or linemans loops, etc. ) you can use the water knot(overhand retrace)

*****Edited to include this disclaimer!!! NEVER HAVE ROPE GOING DIRECTLY THOUGH A NYLON WEBBING LOOP ETC. THE ROPE WILL CUT THROUGH THE NYLON WEBBING LIKE BUTTER AFTER ABOUT 10 STROKES WITH WEIGHT ON IT!
