What is “stepping through the bridge....?”

[Cnilles]

....And why does everyone seem to hate it?

New guy question.

To put your saddle on (with sewed/ tied bridge) you have to step into it like a rock climbing harness.

Just guessing. But saddle on from ground up. But that seems like a dumb thing to have a strong opinion about. So I’m probably wrong. Hahah

There are ways around it (just requires mods). Piece of tubular webbing and a rated snap link.

Well you can always put it on over your head...

 

[Spence71]

I’m a ground up dude. But I also have suspenders so over they don’t work as easy with them

Lol. Sometimes what seems obvious to some, baffles others!

This is exactly what I do.

I have a fixed bridge and forgot to step through and didn't realize till I was up at hunting height. Had to repurpose my linemans for bridge....not the most comfortable

How do I get the leg loops over my head? I tried to put my arms through them but it didn't seem to work quite right.

Good idea to make your hunt right.

I tie mine in with rope and figure 8’s on both sides so I step through every time doesn’t bother me and I just tuck the bridge under my belt to hold it out of the way until I get to the tree.

I think the real problem with stepping through is with muddy boots and thus getting mud all over your nice clean saddle.

Same. My size 13 boots make stepping through a little harder. I always toss it over my head to avoid that.

You mean like this?



Should have taken a pic of his heart stuffed in a trophyline dump pouch. Some guys like to post about their "thread injection tools." I'm more proud of my "saddle sanitizer."

Best cover scent on your gear you can get.

Really? I have some blood on my pack from the last one and have been thinking I should wash it as John Eberhard suggests. Should I?
