I would like to sincerely thank you for putting out this video. I am a newer hunter who over the last few years has been exploring the world of hunting. Saddle hunting seams to be calling me and this is the best video I have found explaining saddle setups and the only one I have seen that demonstrates step by step in a real world setting. Well done and thank you so much for this content.

Awesome explanation video man! Just bought my saddle a couple weeks ago and was really needing a video like this! One question, does your daisy chains not worry you a little bit how small they are? I’m a 6’2 240 lb dude and those scare the hell outta me. Lol

Funny I actually carry my bow like that on long walks into an area with a bow holder I used for 3D. I never thought about hanging it like that once set up for hunting. Great idea!!!

Your video was the first one I came across, fully explaining everything, and actually climbing the damn tree. The half dozen others I watched, they don't even bother showing how to get up the tree, and what equipment is used, and how to do so. Thank you. As for your "hopes" at 17:25. That's a "yes" on me appreciating it, "yes" on me learning something, "yes" on gaining some knowledge, and "no" not a horrible teacher. Thank you.

@user-pl7ne3hl2o Жыл бұрын

Yes and no I have one of every setup I like my climber but I find they are more tree specific with and saddle the weight and size is dramatically reduced. Also saddle hunting is the safest as you are always connected to the tree a little more better.But the swiftness on the climbing stand can't be beat

The climber is more simple to get up in the tree (not necessarily easier)(imo) but the saddle is definitely my favorite hunting method for a lot of reasons I won't get into

Pretty nice set up! For the most part our set ups are the same. Just different brand stuff. I'm running amsteel 2 step aider on bottom stick and 1 aider on the other 2 sticks . I do have a aider that you bring up as you go but I seem to like my aiders already attached to steps. I've tried alot of different stuff and ways like I'm sure you have. But you get your set up dialed in like we have ours they sure are nice. I love having so many options to go to and hunt. Ive Probably got a 100 different trees marked on hunt stand in the state land I hunt.

I usually get my linemen belt a little higher and use a gear tie to hang my platform from my linemen belt to make it hands free setting up my platform then I don't worry about the rope going back over my platform cuz it's already above it. Just another idea to try. Still working out kinks in my saddle system. I prefer my lone wolf climbing stand. They don't make my model anymore but it's less moving parts. Saddle has alot of moving parts and can be a pain in the ass.

Just a suggestion, but i usually set my tether with extra slack above the platform and atach it then. Then you can disconnect the linemans rope and climb to the platform without having to manuever the linemans rope around the platform. Still stay attached to the tree at all times.

Save over $500 and buy the XOP elite carrying system. All my climber and gear weighs in at 32 lbs which is not heavy only if you’re a vagina (not saying you are). I can walk easily over 10 miles before getting tired. I don’t understand trying to cut so much weight, it’s just simply not that hheavy

@JohnathanAulabaugh Жыл бұрын

@@tategasek1719 32lbs not including the rest of your gear is a bit excessive over 10 miles. My hiking pack loaded out with water for 3 days on a dry trail is only 25lbs lol and to be fair my summit climber is 25. Loaded out for a full day in stand im looking at well over 35lbs depending on what I am hunting with. I think the big difference here is the ability to get in and out fast and quiet and be semi mobile in changing on the fly if the wind changes as it normally does here in FL. Another thought for me is that after the kill I also have an animal to haul out as public land in Fl does not allow you to field dress or bone out. Yes Florida hunting SUCKS.

@@JohnathanAulabaugh no bud, all of my gear and climber weight is 32 pounds on the dot. Including my XOP carrying system. I’m not saying I do walk 10 miles I’m saying I CAN walk 10 miles before it started hurting.

I mean I am sure some but the people I know personally, not just KZfaqrs, love them. That said I am probably about done hunting FL. Bow season is miserable and by rifle season on public everything is nocturnal. If I get in to this lease I am looking at it is pretty much all ladder stands and box blinds.

On average I tend to stick to 15’, I’ve been up to 25’. I’ve never had one pick me off and bust off running. I’ve had them look from time to time and go back to what they were doing. I assume it’s the angle that allows us to look like a limb (big limb in my case) coming off a tree.
