Here I find myself coming back to your videos again. I have all first lite gear and originally found the channel through that. Now here I am again. Never saddle hunted and looking to buy my whole setup. So many questions get answered in your videos. Appreciate it,

This is probably one of the most comprehensive saddle setup and usage videos all wrapped into one. I've never heard the knee-to-the-tree thing before either. Thanks!

where can we get the clips for the climbing sticks

Really great video! About to purchase my first saddle so I needed this!

Excellent job detailing your setup. Very informative and helpful. Thank you for the insight

Been watching a ton of saddle videos, yours has been the best!

Great video. Just purchased my first saddle an I'm very excited to start practicing. Keep up the great videos.

Great video! Tons of useful info and makes me want a saddle even more.

Absolutely the best tree saddle video I have seen yet. Very informative, very organized, very well explained. Thanks

full tethrd system coming in the mail today, perfect timing on this video. I like what you did with your pack!

Absolutely the most comprehensive, “introduction to saddle hunting” video I’ve seen, and I’ve watched a lot of them! You should be commended, sir, for your contribution to the hunting community and the, “shortened learning curve” for hunters wishing to make the transition to saddle hunting!

Great video! I ordered my Tethrd system earlier today. This video will help immensely.

Now this is a helpful, fun and quick simple video. I’ll be in the saddle for the first time this year. Looking for everything I need to know. Thank you

One of the best videos I have seen for beginner saddle hunters just bought my first saddle thanks an keep them coming

Excellent job! I have been SH for 2 years and just learned something that will make my setup more streamlined!

Awsome vid! I’ve been watching a lot of videos on saddle hunting to become more diverse and to take on big public land so thanks A lot!

Great video! Short, sweet and to the point.

This will be my first year using a saddle and this video was extremely helpful! Thanks!

This is the best saddle set up video I’ve seen!

This is one of, if not the best intro to saddle hunting I've ever seen. Very methodical, informative, and well planned out. Great job! I took away so many tips as this is my first year in the saddle.

Hey man thank u for breaking things down so well and making videos that flow so nicely. Ur an inspiration and I have learned a lot for u. Keep it coming homie

Hello, thanks for the great videos I've been a fan of Saddle Hunting for a year and just ordered a Saddle Kid from "Aero Hunter Kestrel Flex Kit" from USA. The Saddle hunting is absolutely unknown in Europe and my bow hunter friends are looking forward to seeing and trying this ! Sorry my English is unfortunately not so good! I live in the mountains of Austria / Tyrol / Zillertal and have been a Bowhunter for over 25 years ! Thank you for your videos and love greetings from Tyrol Didi

Just discovered your channel and like appreciate the way to deliver information. I plan on purchasing my first saddle within the next couple weeks and your video has helped to confirm my decision. Subbed

The tip of keeping a knee to the tree is genius! I've always relied on using my feet and never felt really solid when taking the shot. Always had to hope there wasnt a breeze. Thanks for a very planned out and informative video.

It’s nice to hear from someone that has tons of real world experience.

Thank you for posting this !!!!!!! Your technique is what I have been looking for. I’m a FNG so this is a bit overwhelming sorting through all the equipment and brands, tips, what works and what doesn’t . Thanks again 🙌🏻

Can you do a video showing how you climb with all your gear? Looking to see your preferred method to get your sticks and platform up the tree. I’m sure plenty of others would benefit from this video as well. Keep up the great work!

Awesome job! I found the instruction to be very beneficial. My son uses the Aero saddle, however, we're both new to saddle hunting so always looking for tips and tricks from the experienced.

The expert himself... solid info here!

Great vid, You definitely become a pro when you hunt out of one 200+ days a year. You’ve mastered it!

Starting this fall. Huge help.

thank you! the knee trick help alot!

from a fellow saddle hunter, excellent tutorial!

Just ordered mine last night just found your channel and subscribe this is the second video I'm watching first was on climbing one stick and repelling great job

Great video and great instruction, just getting into saddle hunting this year at age 57, need all the info I can get!

Super helpful, thanks dude.

Just watch the video for the third time I love the way you present your information very mellow and to-the-point hit the Bell so hopefully I can get all of your videos as they come out thanks much for sharing all of this

One item that is subtle is the pack on the tether keeps tension on it. That way if you take all of your weight off your tether to make a shot or adjust, your tether will not slip.

Awesome video, I’m thinking of going that route. Paul

great video, gonna send this to folks that ask me about how i hunt from my saddle.

Awesome video, just purchased my first saddle @6:30 awesome tip!

Great video!....terrific advise from someone who has experience...

Thanks for the great video! Can you explain more what you did with the platform and the hook on it?

Great video buddy.

Thank you so much for the great video.

Interesting, very concise and to the point. Thanks

Great video, love the edit. Nite eyez makes some very useful products, and the hys strap gets used in every stand I use.

Great video, very helpful. Subscribed

excellent video. thanks

Great video!

Great tips man, thank you

I like the knot trick!

very good information thank you

Very informative! Thank you!

Great video. I’m in the MD area but grew up in NOVA. Been hunting a while now but still learning a ton. I would love to come down and hunt with you sometime in DC to grow my hunting knowledge. Never considered hunting in DC.

GREAT Video!!

Can’t agree any more than others on here, this is hands down the best video for saddle hunting. Great tips! You definitely get a 👍🏼 and I’m subscribing for more. I’m super curious how you get to hunt all year in the DC area. I hate to assume the political climate in your area would make it a little more difficult than others. I’d love to do the same where I’m at. Thank you!!!

Great job on the video. Seems like everyone has straight trees to do the demo on. Any thoughts on doing setups in leaning trees or odd shaped ones?

Great Video

Good information thanks

Good job

And that's how you do it. Nice video.

Great advice from the saddle hunting god.

Great video! Where did You get those plastic clips for you’re sticks?

Best saddle video I have seen. Where did you find those molly clips?

What kind of pack do you use and where did you get it? Thank You for the informative video.

Good video in general. I have found that although you have the ability to swing all around the tree like you did, Doing that when a deer is in range isn’t going to happen usually. My platform allows me to stand and turn in place to make the weak side shots which I did on both my deer this week in MO. thanks for sharing your techniques, always pick up something on these.

Great video! What pack are you using there? Thanks!!

Great video! Just ordered my first saddle and am looking forward to using these tips for sure! Where did you find your equipment strap? Thanks

Awesome vid! What backpack do you use?

I have been hunting out of tree saddle for 15+ yrs I have been using a Trophyline saddle and have recently purchased the Tethrd Phantom and looking forward to using it this yr as I am getting long in the tooth and trying lighter equipment so I can continue to hunt deeper. For a suggestion I found knee pads will help with long sits so your knees do not suffer when you use them for support also I would like to know where you obtained your bow hanger for I havd been unable to find anyone in the Annapolis area that has them including the internet.

Looking forward to my first season in a a saddle.

Great video, looks like your using a mystery ranch treehouse pack? Been thinking about getting one, be perfect for saddle hunting. Whats your thoughts on the pack?

Great video thanks! What pack are you using in this video???

And I'm back this is good stuff

Is there any way you can tell us what little plastic clips those are for attaching sticks to your saddle? Thank you, this is a great video.

Just starting my saddle hunting journey and used your page for a lot of tips so thanks for that! I’m looking to one stick. Some videos you use the rope man to connect bridge to tether and others you use the mad rock. After your experience are you now using the rope man? If so, What are you doing to disconnect it and then connect your rock guard for descending?

What pack are you using? I'm looking for one with 20 to 35 liters internal storage, internal frame, and will hold 4 sticks and a small platform well.

Where do you get the metal clips and great video I’m about to drop a bunch of money and get everything I need at once

How did you do the girth hitch with the linemen onto the saddle do you have a video showing how?

Great video where can I get those plastic clips that hold the sticks to the saddle ???

can you show the pack set up with your platform and sticks and everything how you'd have it waking out to your tree?

For your ladder sticks is there one brand that you recommend over another? If so, what are your determining factors?

You stated at the beginning that you have tried about every saddle out there. What is your preference? And have you tried the Cruzr?

Great idea to hang your pack from the prusik loop until you install your HYS Strap.

Very helpful

Loved the video. I just ordered my first Cruzr saddle. Could you provide information on the clips you use, who makes them and where to get them, or where are o order them ? I also tried to zoom in on your bow holder to see what you use, but was still unable to see what you were using. Appreciate your video, thanks.

Do you have a list of your go to equipment? I would really like to start saddle hunting. Looks super comfortable

Can you tell me where I could get one of those bow hangers? Great video thanks for the information.

Question, where can I get the clips you use for your sticks? That sounds like a great way to carry your sticks up the tree and would love to give it a shot! Thanks in advance!

Hey man. Great info. What kind of blow holder/ caribeaner is that?

Have you used the 8mm linemen’s belt and tether? If so how do u like them?

Which pack is that? Thanks for the education!

what I wana know is would you sit in that thing on an all day hunt?...im going to nebraska in November for 2 weeks and will be sitting in the tree daylight till dark every day. a lot of the places are quite the hike to get in there so this tree saddle idea sounds nice

Just curious with everything clipped to your saddle does it keeping slidding off...im using one of those j hooks for my predator xl and it keeps pulling my saddle down no matter how tight i make the belt

Very good video! Smaller trees are much easier to shoot 360. My friend places his pack in front and uses it as a knee pad. How is the comfort on that Phantom? I like a lot of the innovation in it but it seems much less comfy than the Mantis, Kestrel and Flex.

you can find those clips at eastern woods outdoors

This will be my 3rd season saddle hunting and it never occured to me to keep a knee to the tree🤦‍♂️🙀👍 Guess I'll be practicing 🤔

At 2:28 in you show plastic clips that you attach to your saddle by way of molle to hang your sticks while climbing. Where did you get these? I can’t find them anywhere.

Do you have any experience with the hawk helium hammock hunting saddle?
