You might be a saddle hunter if...

[barlow96]

If you have owned some equipment you used once and sold because something better came out and you just had to try it.

also if you told your hunting buddy about saddle hunting and his statement was ‘I will never do that. ‘. One year later he has owned and tried more equipment than me.

You might be a saddle hunter if...

... You have at least one Rubbermaid tub full random, seemingly useless straps, buckles, and other discarded pieces of gear, but you can't bring yourself to get rid of any of it because as soon as you do, you will need it to DIY something...

Oh damn.....what if the tub is in the back of your truck and that’s where you pulled out the static line you used to pull the man’s truck outta the ditch

Some of these sting just a little bit, lmao

You’ve made claims online about the comfort of a saddle, and how you’ve sat all day in it no problem. And then you sell that one and start searching for a more comfortable saddle.

If..... you walked in this morning headed one place, saw a fresh scrape, found a tree, drilled 7 bolts and hung a platform in 20 minutes.

When you keep telling your buddy how unsafe that old climber is that he has used for years and he stops by to see your supper safe method only to find you hanging 20+ ft up by a rope smaller than his pinky.

How about.
You had no interest in ever making a YouTube video, and now your making a video every week about saddle hunting.

You might be a saddle hunter if...

...you have ever preached to all of your friends and family about how much safer this new method of hunting is compared to others...

...then a day later, you tried a new highly touted climbing method and it scared the Bejeezus out of you...

Most of the climbing methods scare the Bejeezus out of me but here I am, up a tree.

If you’re 20ft up and can swing around to get out of the hot sun

Sing praise of a new game changing system to only sell game changing system for a new game changing system

“Before you’ve even hunted in the previous system”

If you creep around flea markets and goodwills looking for used sewing machines

If you’ve ever done something stupid while in a tree and thought this is how it ends

If you’ve ever done something stupid while in a tree and thought this is how it ends

I feel like I did way more of that in the homebuilt treestand days. "Let's cut off the top of this tree, nail some plywood on top, and hunt from it". "And let's get up to it on spikes that bend a bit further down with every climb."

The heritage of awkwardly spacing out steps that I could barely make in summer, with extra gymnatistics to actually make the platform...persists in my tree selection to this day.

If you walk 4 miles and never find “good enough” sign to set up on but don’t feel bad because your system is so light.

Just one tub??

 

[redsquirrel]

If you’re phone battery is almost dead less than halfway through an all day sit from browsing SH....

But you brought an extra battery so you don’t have to stop.

That's why I said AT LEAST one tub...

Is it really "random" gear if it's categorized into appropriate tubs?

 

[DB4x4]

Is it really "random" gear if it's categorized into appropriate tubs?

According to all Non-Diaper Ninjas, it's all just random junk...

So what if it’s my canoe motor battery? It’s for emergencies!
