thats some good insights I've definitely made these mistakes

Good looking stuff

You pay $400 brand name to the company not hardware product.

Looks good 👍

Tried it at 50. After a season and a half I’m happier in my lock on.

Good review! never used tasco but ill consider them now. I usually buy cheap cameras. could never afford a 400 camera and if i did id probably put that money on a gopro. thanks for sharing keep up the good work.

Keep your head up DC!

Awesome event to be apart of, can't wait for the PA show!!

Hope to make it to one of those one day

I have wondered how you have been able to enjoy doing what you do, even though it is great and fun, it is also time and labor intensive! I hope you have enjoyed the reset and wish you all the very best!! Your platform and methods are proven and you've got a great base to keep you going however you decide to move forward!!

I live in southeast Michigan, been wanting to get a portable set up, idk if I want a saddle or a climber, I’m a crossbow and gun hunter and I feel if I get a saddle I’d only use it for gun, how much did your whole saddle setup cost?

Great video. Look forward to seeing others

Nice time to let the work begin 😂

When you get to hunting height, are you just letting the aider hang or reaching down and putting it in the pouch and rolling it up?

When you might need financing, or to sell your first born to buy a cap for your truck . . .you might be doing it wrong , it looks nice but prices are seriously out of control. On a good note many people will be making their own rigs and posting the results and tutorials on line, like in the good old days.

Glad u were able to come back and express things that u r going through in life !! Hope things go well for u and family and I will be praying for u and your family!!

$4400 and no LED lights?

Looks sharp on your truck

Too much B.S INVOLVED

Been thinking of getting one of these myself. I priced out a Leer or ARE cap and it was still a little over $4K. So the cost of the RSI isn't that much more...especially considering it is made out of steel and not fiberglass.

Any chance you are going to the Mobile Expo toward the end of the month?

Will you do a video of your bow setup youre constantly blowing straight through deer would be curious what lb draw length and arrow setup you use and if you worry about bare shaft tuning ect

Now that looks like a summer weekend

I think you're absolutely correct on your determination that it's a wash. I'm 53 and have been saddle hunting for 4 years. Definitely a subjective, not one size fits all argument. If I'm heading in a long way, one stick because it's lighter (at least my set up). If I'm hunting public on a short trek in, maybe multi stick. One sticking is slightly more physical than multi sticking. I'm in very good shape, but it's true. Especially if you're trying to make the most of your moves while one sticking. I think people have to experiment and see what works for them. Everything from different types of saddles, to platforms, and sticks. To say one system is the best is simply saying it's the best for you.

It baffles me how you don't have more subscribers. Your video quality is phenomenal, and you provide quality content. It seems that most people these days want quick hitting and meaningless content with no educational value. Keep up the good work and I will patiently await your future videos.

Cool stuff. As a hunter living in Germany I have never seen this. Do people in the States use these tree saddles also for rifle hunting?

😂

Will this work w/ the sewn in aider on the ultimate one stick w/ the slotted lower step???

Derek, glad to see you on camera. No one ever said life would be easy. I have been following your escapades (hunting related and the S&S) for a few years now and I think you do a marvelous job. I have enjoyed watching your family grow up and your hunting and product videos. Don’t let others pressure you into pushing out content just to have it out there. Excellent content occasionally is better than constant content just for content sake. Keep your chin up, you will get through this patch…and be better for it.

Thank you for this comparison video.

Hey bud. Looking fwd to seeing and hanging with you and all the other guys in Kalamazoo.

#createmorelifebreaks Good to see ya back, bud.

Glad you're back! Your content is always quality

I’ve thought about giving it up several times my channel is very small but i try putting a variety of stuff on there. But i have fun with it. I enjoy your S&S videos

Recently picked up a Hot Shot Vapor for my intro into the handheld release world. So far a great product. They make quality equipment.

I think the turkeys did it to you!!!

Hope you can get a spirit pickup with deer season coming up. I'll keep you in my prayers. If we can help let your fellow Hoosiers know.

Crazy times in the hunting industry. Keep your head up 💪🏻

Derek, I hear you about needing to step away. I think a lot of people don't realize the amount of work that goes into creating content. We are still here to see what you have going on. Can't wait to see what you create this year. Keep pressing on. I might make the trip out to Kalamazoo. I'll let you know if i make it out there and maybe we can meet in person.

Always loved your stuff Derrick. The fire will come back. I film too however im not publishing my stuff its just for me and family and friends. Its a tremendous commitment to film and edit never mind dealing with sponsors and everything that goes with that. I could never…. Keep producing…. Luv your stuff!

Any new Bow companies to work with? Or do you have any brand in mind? What the channel love the S&S as you said it’s your channel. We just love. Enjoy watching it from one Hoosier to another.

Awesome buck!!

Can't wait to see more!

Would this trick work with a quick link?

Good morning, what bow brand are you looking at going with this year? It's a shame with Athens, they were great shooting bows

Hey Man Nice video! What 360 camera are you running?

I bought a one stick setup from Eastern outdoors because of your videos. You make it look doable. Ps this is my first year hunting in my life at 38.

Which ones are made in China? Which ones are made in usa

I shoot 150 stingers , fly like field points just an awesome, Brodhead,can’t wait to try this broadhead!
