Superb speed!
Superb speed!
Nice smooth climb. Didn't look near as much like a gumby variant of a spider monkey like some of the video's I have watched.
Rockin and rollin!!! makes me want to try the ole ham support, aka thigh support, again.
That’s Mr. Gumby or Senior Lanky to youNice smooth climb. Didn't look near as much like a gumby variant of a spider monkey like some of the video's I have watched.
That wasnt actually aimed at you good sir.That’s Mr. Gumby or Senior Lanky to you
Thanks! The top tether is using the new hitch I showed to you, works flawlessly so far!Superb speed!
Glad to hear it! Now you gotta do a 2 or 3 branch pass time test!Thanks! The top tether is using the new hitch I showed to you, works flawlessly so far!
Ha I was just thinking on that today, I’m gonna fix my bottom tether with the new hitch and I’ll do a multiple limb passing video! Stay tuned for the upcoming video, maybe even tomorrow!!!’
Haven’t really shown it yet, just told Samcirrus about it so he could help me test it further! Gonna test it just a bit more then I’ll post a video for my fellow saddle hunting friends! It’s a hitch for your tether to make passing limbs very simple and no mechanical devices or extra carabiners needed. Just want to make sure there are no kinks before sharing it with everyone!What’s the new hitch your mentioning, I didn’t see you post the name, but I could have missed it.

Pre-season starts 2/1/24. Chop chopThe maverick hitch is a spectacular hitch and works very well but some people are very nervous about tying hitch’s at the tree, especially while in the air! I wanted to come up with one that can be tied at home, left on the tether, not have to pass your whole tether, foot loop, and hitches through a end loop, just hook it up and go up!

What’s your experience with the soft shackles been used in that way? I’ve been wanting to change to soft shackles to try for a while now.I’ve used a 3/16” Amsteel soft shackle on my tether as a way to pass branches without having to feed the whole rope through. That was really just a replacement for a carabiner, though. Hoping you’ve got something revolutionary.

Gunner's got a good point! And it's another great feature of just using the Maverick hitch rather than any carabiner or soft shackle. No stored knots. Also you don't have to remove the hitches on your rope if you pull the rope down and your release line up with a preset tied to it!Too fiddly for my taste. I’ve gone back to tying a figure 8 for my tether. Simple and proven. It’s not that big of a deal to pull 7 or 8’ of rope through the loop.
For rappelling, I had been using the running JRB hitch, but I’m changing that to the Maverick hitch.
In my experience if the amsteel is 1/4" or larger than its okay. Once you go smaller it's hard to undo with gloves on and the time of undo and retie is much longer than a carabiner.What’s your experience with the soft shackles been used in that way?

Maybe I'll take one using that new tether and doing the '2TC Crooked Tree Challenge'???
