DIY SADDLE & PLATFORM FOR UNDER $100

[@timgreer7440]

The GREATEST into ever!!! Great video... I subscribed after the first 30 seconds and the content of the video just kept getting better as it went. I'm definitely going to make this.

[@DixielandBowhunter]

I can tell you from experience be sure and strap the bottom of the stick as well to prevent kickout. It will allow you to put side pressure to lean around the tree. Appreciate the sub and be safe!

[@timgreer7440]

@@DixielandBowhunter I'll most likely TIG weld them together. This is really a great idea. You just saved me about $150 with this. I'll definitely strap top and bottom securely. I don't do well with heights if it wiggles much

[@chuckwadkins7949]

Great video. Thanks

[@philipvaughan320]

Wow I think he is the most genuine people I've ever heard speak.

[@canadaconman]

Lol right on dude, your honesty made me a subscriber...........I'm makin my own darn shit as well.

[@bobadams1696]

Good video. Thanks.

Nice job with the video! -- "Aero" Joe 👍

[@juggerrugger5]

“You can’t tell if he’s been shoplifting or deer hunting” hilarious man

[@jasonfortune9982]

Bro I love your description of "That Guy"! I know a few like that and they always are trying to one-up you instead of being happy for you!

[@blakebarnett5078]

Subscribed on the intro brother!

[@stevegermain1222]

Yes sir subscribed right off the bat

[@connorhart7597]

I just said that to my dad lol "i wanna saddle hunt, but i certainly am not about to drop 400$ on something i can make for like 50-100. The "cant tell if he went hunting or shoplifting" line got me good lmao

[@TheLotroNerd]

So what is this part called?

[@dansullivan1031]

"Don't be that guy"....if only all hunters could live by that motto. Great video sir, very informative.

[@goblingaming4651]

Ur real and I appreciate that brother

[@Bear304inc1]

Subbed within the first minute.

[@ILUVGUNS86]

first two minutes already liked and subed.

[@jesseskeen9882]

“Can’t tell if he’s been huntin’ or shoplifting”. That trash was funny bro 😂

[@MissouriValleyArms]

love your attitude brother. "if you ain't got nothin good to say- don't say anything" Words to live by.

[@closeproximity-J.K.B.]

No nonsense content. Loving it!

[@chadreid1068]

I’m not that guy.... but man I like your channel keep it up buddy

[@davidpetersjr4519]

Thanks for everything. Being disabled I can't afford much and my son has gotten me back into hunting. Most of my gear is over 20 years old and I love building my own stuff. Thanks for the ideas. When I was 23 Dad and I build a stand out of a metal table, but it got gone one night.

[@larryford9689]

Glad found this video... I’m sat way .. really don’t wanna spend that much. But really interesting in saddle hunting. If I pay you could you make me a saddle set up . With platform ropes and all

[@DixielandBowhunter]

Sorry I just couldn't do that, the shear liability of it. It's not hard if I can figure it out, I'm just a poor country boy😎

[@Jeep-Addicts]

Great ideas! I’m here in VA be safe friend.

[@aaronhall3129]

Great video and another kentuckian

[@apexpredatoroutdoors8308]

Good video. My DIY saddle gear is also under $100. There's no reason to spend more to climb a tree.

[@billyedwards5716]

The first minute of this video got you a new subscriber. Well done.

[@jasonwatson2679]

You ever done any ninji choppin?

[@rogerramjet7567]

Wow. Absolutely refreshing video. God bless you Kevin. Keep up the great work. I see part two coming up. I will comment on it also.

[@DixielandBowhunter]

Thanks

[@markernest2254]

Love that DIY craftsmanship! I wonder if skateboard grip tape would work as an anti-slip surface for the top?

[@DixielandBowhunter]

Probably would help, that's basically what you get if you order grip tape kit for Summit treestands. I appreciate the comment.

[@joshwhitfordfishing2304]

Love that intro! Like the Gerald Swindle of the hunting world lol

[@jhuntley575]

Nice work

[@huntfishexplore7636]

I like the way you think!

[@CentralFLOutdoors]

Don’t be that guy😂 awesome stuff man!

[@troy4219]

Newtribe in Southern Oregon has the most comfortable saddles and affordable 👌

[@justinbuck6572]

I had to subscribe after i heard your intro, you described all of these new breed social networkin hunters perfectly. I will be spreading word of your channel from now on brother thanks for all the awesome info and mostly for keeping it real!

[@stevegermain1222]

Love the idea

[@BobbysBudgetBuilds]

The "you cant tell if hes been shoplifting or deer hunting" joke got the sub for sure.

[@pensnut08]

"That guy" also sits 10' behind that deer and long-arms it..

[@bigmanlilcoat]

Do you make them for purchase?

[@DixielandBowhunter]

I do make a platform for the hawk sticks, there is a video on it as well. Or you can checkout my Facebook page Dixieland Bowhunter for my information on them just search through the post

[@JimBowSlice]

Im going to make one of these tmrw on the bridgeport. Aluminum is pretty gummy material when hot glad i have access to a bridgeport and surface grinder.

[@markgrenier6787]

Thx.. fittin to make one ASAP...

[@larryaveritt6851]

All your technical capabilities and labor are exactly why a stand like this would cost at least $100. I'd buy one.

[@timkaldahl]

Had to hit like at about 1:30. Love the down to earth attitude. But didn't you know that the soul of the deer gets trapped between heaven and hell if you ain't wearing Sitka or First Light gear.

Knowledge is priceless and you can't buy it Keep up the good work and keep the knowledge going Have a great day and good hunting

[@andrewe7165]

Love the idea man! Like your intro and how you explain your take on Hunting also. Never even thought about building a platform directly to the stick. Pretty genius stuff

[@DonathOutdoors]

Like the video man, keeping it real.

[@christopherredelman6602]

Could you use an old hangon treestand seat for a platform?

[@JimBowSlice]

Ive seen lots of mods from chopped up old tree stands

[@stamperknives9783]

T I think I'm gonna use 80/20 stuff for my riser

[@anthonywright4429]

I'm a new bow hunter with shallow pockets I appreciate all the info I can get

[@sheltowee8079]

110-in deer he paid to go kill, it's slowly turning into a Rich Man sport, I'll be damned I'll hunt the way I want to and I'll keep HUNTIN!! Got to subscribe if he's from KY I'm from Lawrence county. If you put a ring of steps around where you want to stand you can have 360° of shooting that platform limits you to one space.

Money and ignorance has turned what was once a source and still is a source of food for survival into a market of gimmicks just as the newest and greatest bow or cross bow you need 🤣.. Jumped off the cover of a bass pro shop magazine... that was a good one 👍 or when there holding there 170" deer with a feeder or a high fence behind them if the outfitter has a section he has made for the purpose of photos of your deer 🦌 you are in the wrong place lol there hunters too lol
