The bridge buddy

Isn’t hip pinch what keeps you in a soft saddle when things get weird?


I assume you can climb with it on the biner but without your bridge embedded in it. Then when at height and ready to hunt you can put your bridge into the groove?

I solved hip pinch with a $5 piece of daisy chain webbing. I like a longer bridge so I can turn and have plenty of real estate for the bridge to move through the biner so I can turn to shoot etc. In the past in order to accomplish this I would have to set my tether height very high lest I be too far from the tree but then the angle and height put my bridge and tether constantly in the way and gave me wicked hip pinch. Then vectors entered the chat. I threw a length of daisy chain webbing in my dump pouch. Set my tether high. Run it straight down the tree to the daisy chain webbing girth hitched around the tree at about about boob height'ish, run biner through the loops to secure it to the webbing then clip to the bridge and viola'! bridge runs straight V to the tree with a wider triangle base. plenty of real estate for turning to shoot etc, no pinch and I got two factor protection from both the webbing and the tether.

So, is the tether and daisy chain each bearing 50%ish oh the load? Tether= vertical forces and daisy chain = horizontal

I’d say 60/40 daisy chain to tether. Tether has no slack and is tight but it’s mostly on the webbing at that point.
 
As a guy wanting to get into saddle hunting, I look at EVERYTHING wondering what kind of noise it can produce while I have a 150" deer (I have waited on all season) finally in range..

Too bad there isn't a nylon insert where the carabiner goes through.
