lol

Me too. I struggle to keep my balance free standing on a platform. I like the idea of being tethered tight and having all the flexibility

Dangit

It looks like way too much stuff going on

How has it treated you past 3 years?

How is it going now?? How do you like the saddle

@@backintimepressurewashing180 I'll be honest I prefer the cruzr archon. I love everything about saddle hunting but I'm not a fan of the tethrd mantis saddle

Do you know what he called that molle accessory strap he put around the tree that he hung his pack from? I keep replaying the video but I can't make out what he's saying.

@@blazinferno79 Its called a HYS strap.

Dyi sportsman why the knee pads. I don't see you use them. Like Ernie is in this video. Looking to make my own kit or buy one.

@@dennisknepp1616 I typically use them. Not always needed, but sometimes they are very helpful. Like if you get a forward leaning tree which will cause your knees to support more weight if you're in a sitting position. If you're primarily a leaner though they arent as important.

How comfortable is the saddle? I'm about your height. 6'2" . About 190 lbs. How does it feel around the inner thighs?

I agree, as a tree climber myself it is obvious these guys don't know shit about climbing. They have a very most basic understanding about techniques but their information is solid enough. Not any sort of super elite technique but the kind of information that could probably get anyone into a tree without killing themselves.

You work for a tree service? I would like your opinion on this. If you'd be so kind. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nd2ChKeUyuCaY40.html

Hahahahaha

Sorry to hear you're not healthy. Maybe you can saddle hunt like this. I hope so, you didn't say how unhealthy you were. I hope you get better. I hope this will help.kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nd2ChKeUyuCaY40.html

At this point, wouldn’t it just be easier to hang a lock on?

@@theharpeth no not at all. Mobility and your using your legs so you stay warmer in cold weather vs sitting down. I prefer my saddle vs the hang on stands. You wanna use the tree for cover so setup knowing deer movement and wind.

No need tokzfaq.info/get/bejne/nd2ChKeUyuCaY40.html preset if you do it like this

I just bought a climber ! Lol should of got the saddle

I love these guys. It would be awesome to have hunting friends like they do

Not me, I'm blocking this channel!

I noticed that also and thought, that's not safe! I work for the power company and am familiar with safe fall protection. Maybe I'm wrong but I think the leg straps need to be better connected than just slide into a slot! At least, for me to use it!

I'm a tree climber as well and do alot of tree work as a side business! I 100@% agree with everything you said, The use of a Ropeman 1 that a lot of saddle hunters are using as a main life support attachment makes me shake my head!

@@robertb2444 No professional climber would ever use a harness with leg loop attachments like in the video and for good reason, So you're absolutely right!

I was thinking about going to an arborist or a rock climber and asking them what gear I should get to climb and hang from tree's. I figured taking "rock" climbing lessons wouldn't be a bad thing.

I'm no expert but I believe the big advantage is the system is compact and light weight to get in the deep in the woods without carrying a bunch of extra weight. Plus there is versatility to hop from depot to spot each day with minimal hassel.

@@lurchaddams4179 - But you have to go out ahead of time to hang steps or a ladder to get up to the saddle so I don’t see how it’s any easier than any other hang on stand or ladder stand. It’s not like you can just pick a tree on the fly and hunt it like you could with a climber stand.

@@claymac7895 You don't need to go out ahead of time. You can use climbing sticks you carry with you, rope ascending, and various other methods. Saddles are way lighter and easier to move around with than a climber or hang on stand with sticks.

It only takes like 10 minutes to get fully set up in a a tree

go watch ny saddle hunter. they show how to self climb with it. Thats how i hunt with it

Biased Harold it’s hunting season, so if they value their fans they’ll get the schedule rolling. You miss the point that they’ve had a schedule each year then this year two 1/2 hearted hunts and then throw a month old gear video at us. Meanwhile Shane Simpson and diy are getting it done.

Working on videos nonstop. We had this edited and decided to post it because we have had a lot of questions about tree saddles. New video will be up tonight!

@@shawnhagen6871 by their track record they value their fans lol they wouldn't put up a how to video if no one asked for it. Chill out sport

Okay old man

@@shawnhagen6871 I'm 25 bud

I agree. Im interested but want to try it.

The " real hunting world " I'm poor as dirt and I've never HAD to hunt dnr land. I choose to hunt it from time to time for the fun. Ive been knocking on doors for years and I have plenty of spots to hunt from urban to country. You got to get out there and put some time in the summer months looking for spots. Cant sit around all summer then come October look for a spot. Cant be lazy . Just saying.

Damon Garrett I only hunt private during prime time. Public is very tough hunting and challenging.

I'm not saying hunting public is easy hunting. I' was just saying if you put enough time in knocking on doors in the summer time you can have enough spots where you dont have to hunt public land. Alot of people act like all they have to hunt is public land cause they are low on money and cant afford a big hunting lease. But if you put some effort to it in the summertime and stop and ask some land owners you can find properties to hunt privately. You would be surprised how many people say sure. Especially the old timers out in the country.

Damon Garrett come try that in Texas. I knocked on doors, called, and sent letters to a total of more than 300 property owners for a grand total of 0 permission. Texas is a pay to play state, because landowners understand someone in the state would be willing to pay for the access you asked for for free.

G and T Outdoors then you’re stuck hunting that spot...

Yeah, how many treestands do you want to buy? One saddle Or 10 stands (depending on how many places you have to hunt) Still can’t sit a crooked tree in a hang on easily or efficiently 😉

That's just one tree. It's about mobility.

If you want to order 1 its gonna take 6-10 weeks

Same here man!haha

Me too😭

Same 😂

NC Guy me too. I was so hyped but maybe this means that they shot one

Working on videos nonstop. We had this edited and decided to post it because we have had a lot of questions about tree saddles. New video will be up tonight!

Several friends of mine had already switched to a saddle. You won't have to settle for just that one stand that you hung in pre season nor spend time and sweat equity doing so. 2020 I'll be in the saddle. A side note, there are more suppliers of a saddle. Research them and find what fits your style and budget. For me simplicity and efficiency works best.

Oh it is

So you don’t wear a harness ?

@@MyEmily23 Of course I do. I know where u wanting go with your question. I dont even know of anyone using these around here. North Mississippi

Ronnie Hallmark it’s way safer than a climbing stand that’s for sure

@@ronniehallmark1278 I use one I'm from north Mississippi and I love mine

@@melvinsacromentoe I dont think theres a safer setup than my climber, attached to the tree with a safety line all the way up and down of course

They prob already did they are a business they want max views..they want to keep us wanting more...I guarantee they already got a bruiser. Be patient they'll show it eventually... meanwhile enjoy the content

Damn son get your ass back over to DIY channel before you miss something!

@@dublelung1 I follow diy as well

@Non Typical Used a saddle

Lol, yeah give this a once over since you're an arborist. Plz comment kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nd2ChKeUyuCaY40.html

1 season later how do you like it?

I agree way expensive, and quality same as a drop away , whisker bisq can still do job yeah

No more expensive then a quality mobile tree stand setup. I am not traditionally a mobile setup guy. I tend to have multiple preying stands on private land, however, they wear out and need replacing which can cost hundreds every several years. Just switched to the saddle and it now replaces all of those tree stands.

Yes it is more pricy but u buy this and u will never have to buy another stand again

Cut that pony tail off lol

Trophyline is the least expensive for a tight budget. Comes with a Web bridge, if you want a rope bridge it is a mod you can do.

Do yourself a favor, Go Aero hunter. much much better. And wayyyyy b4 tethrd

grizzle777 with a 10 week lead time...

Tethrd is much better and lighter

@@vinnygrass7 what makes it better?

@@vinnygrass7 I kinda feel like if I was going to go the route of the Aero I would just use my old tree climbing saddle. The Tethered system seems to be a much lighter and easier system to deploy. Everyone has their preferences. I have spent many hours researching through videos and articles. Tethered seems like the way I want try.

You HYS Hanger. (available from Tethrd or they have posted a DIY video on how to make it for yourself). You read that correct, Tethrd teaching it’s followers how to make a product they sell. These guys love hunters!!’

Shane Simpson great content shane and nice buck to boot. Way to get it done!

Thanks Shawn

rich allbritten they said it should be launched this week.

It’s up on the site now

@@johnkastner9224 already ordered this afternoon. Both are gonna come in handy. Hope to get them before next weekend.

$500 once. It's $500 dollars for one system that you can set up and use on hunt day from any tree you'd be able to put a stand in. Stands get bulky. You usually have to pack them in and set them up before hunt day and even if you can pack them in day of they're too much of a pain in the ass to move to change your mind. If you hunt public land and you have to leave them up they're a liability. They can get stolen, lost, and you have to remove them and set them up every season. I'd much rather pay $500 for this one system then pay even $100 each for even 2 or 3 regular stands. The extra $$$ is paying for the luxury of having a truly portable hunting platform that works in literally any tree you could hunt and better in trees that a regular stand would be a pain in the ass to set up or even impossible. My understanding is you don't want to overhunt a stand. If you never get in the habit of setting up complicated stands and blinds you're not beholden to use locations that may not be your best spot on hunt day. I can totally see where having a very portable system like this would be a HUGE advantage by allowing you to change plans with the season as needed rather than to spend a crapload of time setting up a stand you're forced to use in conditions that don't make it a good spot. Last way to look at it, how much did you spend on your bow and what's you're average killshot distance with it? If you're in a wooded area probably 20-30 yards or less unless you're just bragging. Anyway, most archery classes say 40 yards and no further. Do you know how many bows you can find that cost less than $500 that will shoot accurately at 30 yards? The answer is LOTS and LOTS of bows will shoot that well for $250 but I bet you spent extra $$ to feel confident that you could make those shots. Well... This is a stand that costs more but will allow you to get where you need to be. No excuses, you can get there. All that money spent on that bow is going to shooting foam in the backyard unless you can get to where you need to be. So flipped another way, I'd buy a shitty used bow that can get me to 30 yards and spend the extra $$$ on a stand that will give me a target rather than spend big bucks on my bow to feel nice but on hunt day get stuck in a terrible location where I don't see diddily.

$500 for a full set up ready to go? I'll buy it all week long. If you set up on the cheap, add your costs season to season, piece by piece. It will be more.

tethrdnation.com/shop/

FYI, a setup is not $500

Yeah honestly you could just get a rock climbing harness grappling hook and save yourself like 400$

Too much redbull?

Shut up

Why don't you make one instead of demanding other people to entertain you

Think of it as 11 months early. Lots of time to practice for next year. Plus, you want hunting videos, I'm very happy watching this stuff.

Seriously your loss. Try it... it really is way better.. lighter, more comfortable, more versatile

I can't see myself going back to a climber or lok on.....

Versus having a full harness in a normal stand? It's way less crap hanging off you.

Justin Stauffer I don’t have a harness

@@minkmink410 Well there is your first mistake not wearing some type of harness.

Can you imagine trying to do this in the dark?

@@brianstevens8068 no shit!

Yup Im in a tree in my climber in 3 minutes lol and climbers seem more comfortable to me
