Whats the total investment? Stick/Platform, 40' of rope, ascender, paracord. Carabiners saddle?

Shew. I would have to put some numbers down! I pieced it together over a couple of years getting it how I want it! Let me see what I can come up with!!

I still dont see how youre getting around branches safely or understand how the rope comes down with branches below it those 2 parts werent obvious for me but looks pretty slick.
@genesoutdoors3 күн бұрын
For going around limbs I use a very short lineman rope for safety. When you pull it down it’s really easy for the most part. Even with a tree full of limbs it’s comes down the same way you do. What I’ve found is that as long as after I pull it loose from the trunk to keep that tension on it so it doesn’t flop in to some kind of fork or something and get stuck. Fortunately I haven’t had that happen just yet but I can see that it could.

Do you think the small platform makes it hard to pull shots off ?
@genesoutdoors3 күн бұрын
In my opinion I do feel that way.. I only wear a size 11 and with my boots on it still gets more difficult to pull off more difficult shots on that UP. With a smaller platform I feel like it would definitely be more difficult.

I have a set of rapid rails and a millinum hang on stand. They pack together with no sound together they weigh 21 pounds. I put a gameplan back packing system on them.even in my mid 50s I can pack them for a couple miles. I can reach 25ft and hang the stand within 5 minutes. You can sit all day and even kick back and take a nap. And don't have to wear knee pads. I haven't seen anything great about saddle hunting

People laugh at this and have so much negative things to say but to me it’s unbeatable if you are hiking in at a distance. I’ve carried the climbers for years and went from a 20 pound climber down to one sticking that sits around 5 pounds. Taking 15 pounds off of your back and being able to hunt any tree is huge to me but I get it from the outside looking in it’s expensive to get into and it comes with a learning curve. No going back for me personally.. Great video!
