Check out ETSY and search for Amsteel, there are a few folks that sale different items (daisy chains, aiders, rope mods). A lot of them will do something custom if you have an idea in your head and chat with them. I have made my own, it was a little intimidating, but honestly fairly easy and I haven't fallen out of the tree.....yet. If you do want to do your own, I buy Amsteel Blue from Dutchware (https://dutchwaregear.com/). Fairly inexpensive. Good luck!

I am sure you will get some posts saying replace ropes every season or two. I personally inspect my ropes/amsteel after each hunt. If there are no signs of wear/fraying, I drive on. Amsteel Blue is pretty solid. I totally recommend sticking to Amsteel Blue over plain Amsteel. Amsteel Blue is better quality/strength. I am not an expert by any means, so do your own research and test whatever you get. But it is extremely strong and light. I haven't tried the rope mods since I don't feel comfortable with a friction knot. But the daisy chains I made don't budge and my whoopie sling bridge gives me some adjustments and slides like butter on the carabiner when i want to rotate. Sorry...more than you asked for.

Nope all good this is my first year in a saddle and I wanted to lose all the weight I could so of course I did some investigating and I got rid of my straps an buckles on the sticks went with chains .
All the information, knowledge and ideas i can get from any of you veterans is greatly appreciated

I am definitely not a veteran of saddle hunting, but like the options it gives me. I have some set stands where I hunt in NC and I always have my saddle/sticks/platform in the truck. Just to have some options. If I keep hearing/seeing something out of range of my stands in the morning (for example) I will come back with the saddle and set-up closer. Also, if I feel I am pressuring an area around my set stands too much, I will use my saddle to help me get into some other areas I have scouted and seen activity. So, I am not a saddle 'purist', but it provides options and hopefully opportunities. And back to Amsteel, if you do watch some of the youtube stuff on DIY daisy chains, whoopie slings, etc., it is so stupid simple it is crazy. And compared, the price is almost half if you DIY. No real crazy technique or difficulty. And I took the first setup i made and torture tested it until i felt good, then made more. It is solid stuff. Definitely not against buying pre-made, but if you can open a twist-off beer cap, you can make your own daisy chain.
