aww shucks...I'm blushing. Real Talk...I just love this stuff. I'm one of the lucky guys that gets to follow his passion...and earn a living doing it. Hopefully I can pay it forward. The other things is I get to hunt A LOT. I mean A LOT. I know what gear works and what gear sucks. I try to pass that on to save other guys the trouble. Thanks for watching & the comment. Means a lot to me.

Greg, I am so glad to see G2 putting out content! You are my boys and my inspiration getting into saddle hunting! Thanks for all you do for all outdoorsman.

[@G2Outdoors]

Love it!

[@luckytrapper7656]

This has to be the best video to show how to splice Amsteel. Great video!

[@MexicanMovie]

I rappeled down in my ESS tonight using the Madrock Safeguard and it worked fantastic. I think you ought to get John Eberhart a rappel rope and Madrock Safeguard, he'll love it and it could be good to have in an emergency situation if he needs to get down quickly and safely. He may not love it, but he could learn to love it !!!

[@pensnut08]

I looked EVERYWHERE on doing this (rope with 2 eyes).. THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@G2Outdoors]

Glad it helped!

[@drumprince91]

Fantastic tutorial, thank you, Greg! Watched your fid tutorial first (cause you told us to!) and plan to make one soon.

[@tomp577]

I made the same type of aider with 1/8 amsteel. A gutted piece of paracord runs from the top of the tube on my one stick and I can pull the aider inside the tube for storage. It’s always there and not in the way when not being used. Add a small piece fuel hose and reflective tape for safety.

[@JeremyReger]

I was just watching your 2018 video on this yesterday haha

[@glkeele]

Its cool that Matt Damon can teach us all this awesome stuff

[@scottrowell5827]

Great videos. Do you have a webpage? And are you still at George?

[@arthurcarstens]

Hey Greg, love your content, really helps a lot of people, enjoy your stuff. made some 18" aiders out of 1/8 Amsteel. My question is does the bury bear the weight of the locked Brommel knot? I thought the locked Brommel bore the weight of the load. Not sure if I got the length of the bury long enough. Asking for my peace of mind.

[@G2Outdoors]

So I'm definitely not an expert here, I'd ask a splicing professional to get the right answer. But the way I understand it is both the locked brummel and the bury are holding weight. When you put tension on the rope it squeezes the bury and pulls against the lock at the same time. My assumption would be the lock is doing more of the work with the bury playing a supporting role. Again...I'm not a professional and can't say for sure. That's just my best guess.

@@G2Outdoors thanks for the help

[@outdoorbobo]

Not wearing a sleeping bag with saddle. What other options are there and what might we expect in the future to stay warm saddling hunting? The main issue is where the bridge lifts up on the outer jacket and allows the cold air inside. Please advise, thank you…

Almost spit my drink out when beagle Ernie popped up 😂

[@G2Outdoors]

Lolololol I don't think he's seen it. 🤣🤣🤣

[@tanguerochas]

Do you not want to use the Mobius Brummel on the second end?

[@thechrisbolton]

How did you add the button at the bottom of your one stick?

[@howardkuhn2793]

Just received my Skeletors last night..Do you feel this style aider will work with them??

[@down2thenock_outdoors941]

Hey Greg! I have seen the camo tape on your S Biners and hero clips, it looks like a fuzzy version of camo from tape. Can you tell me what that stuff is? It looks like it’s nice and soft as well.. Thanks ! Great video as always !

[@G2Outdoors]

This stuff right here. I love it. www.amazon.com/dp/B01JZL8TG6?ref=exp_g2outdoors_dp_vv_mw

[@down2thenock_outdoors941]

@@G2Outdoors ahh thanks a lot ! So I’m guessing it kinda just fuzzes up over time of use ? I’m sure it’s very close to camo form tape .. yes?

[@G2Outdoors]

@@down2thenock_outdoors941 yeah the tape on my biners is a few years old.

[@down2thenock_outdoors941]

@@G2Outdoors makes sense ! I just got into saddle hunting with legit tethrd gear this year, I always made my own out of an arborist style belt and did it all kinda diy (probably not the safest) but I love my phantom now, getting my new skeletors on Friday!! I cannot wait !

[@down2thenock_outdoors941]

@@G2Outdoors thanks again for the reply Greg !

[@VF74ord]

Could I make a fixed length bridge using the same process? Girth hitch to one side of the saddle, and carabiner on the opposite end? Thanks!

[@G2Outdoors]

Fixed bridge is exactly the same thing. Exactly.

[@VF74ord]

@@G2Outdoors Thanks!

[@6saturdaysaweek]

Is there a reason to make the loops like this rather than tying a good knot?

[@RealRadNek]

knot is weaker, although I don't think you have to worry about Amsteel breaking even if you tie a knot, knots can slip some as they settle, and a knot simply looks ugly. Why not take a few extra minutes to make it look good and solid with no slippage?

[@AmRussHunterTV]

Greg. When will u get One stick back in stock?

[@G2Outdoors]

early 2022

[@AmRussHunterTV]

@@G2Outdoors 😭

[@AmRussHunterTV]

BTW. Were u commissioned or enlisted in the Army?

[@flipup8539]

Granted understandably that larger diameter rope means more weight it can handle, but why did you choose 1/4” over 1/8” ?

[@G2Outdoors]

2 Reasons. #1 I had it in my garage (that's the main reason lol) #2 it's easier to show how to splice with larger diameter rope. The smaller stuff is harder to use for demonstration. As long as you're comfortable with the weight/size of the 1/8"...it should work the same.

[@houdini2wheels814]

What size fid do you have ?

[@Derrick2]

4:10 that’s what he said.

[@flounderwetspot8524]

[@AaronBrand]

This is Greek to me. I’ve spliced some amsteel, but aiders? No idea.

[@JeremyReger]

The lazy person in me says.. cool but can I send you $60 for 4 of these? Haha

[@G2Outdoors]

It takes a good 10-15 minutes per aider...plus you have to buy the amsteel. Not cheap.

[@JeremyReger]

@@G2Outdoors haha I’m doing mine.. just trying to bic it because I don’t have the tools, but thankful for these videos! Appreciate you man!
