Gear Hanger Strap Comparison: G3D Gear Hanger, Tethrd HYS Strap, HME Accessory Belt, Daisy Chain

[@jax9224]

So what I did is I made my own deal which I used the amsteel with the cam jam but instead of daisy chain style I made 5 continuous loops of orange amsteel and attached them with the prussic knot so you can move them anywhere around the tree you need and I have one that hangs down for my pack and since it’s a prussic knot it bites in real good when you add the weight of the pack on one of the continuous loops. The cam jam makes it easy to attach to any tree.

[@GRockBlues]

I love the HYS Strap...I made my own following Ernie's instructive video...its really one of my favorite pieces of gear...Thank you Spencer for all you do for the saddle community...you rule!

[@44hashbrowns]

According to Genesis 3D Printing's site, you're one of of their Field Staffers. This seems like relevant information for the viewers

[@SaddleHunter]

I have updated the description. I am on G3D’s Field Staff, however I am not under any obligation to promote products I don’t believe in. I truly think their hanger serves my purposes the best. I wouldn’t join a field staff if I was forced to be unbiased.

[@GotChrist60]

@@SaddleHunter I believe you! You're videos have all been straightforward, upbeat and you offer your recommendations yet leave the viewer to decide. Well done on another great video. I'd love to see one you do ring of step video! Keep on rolling! Blessings

[@44hashbrowns]

@@SaddleHunter fair, but they’d prolly drop you if you released a video to the public choosing another brand over theirs 🤷🏻‍♂️ either way, well made video and I still may consider the G3D hanger, I appreciate you making the content!

[@genesis3dprinting]

Hey man! I promise you I didn't twist Spencer’s arm to make sure he promotes our gear over others. I have never asked any of my field staffers to do video reviews. When I choose Spencer as one of our field staffers, it was first due to his personality and second because of his experience/knowledge in the mobile hunting scene. I hope this helps, man! If Spencer chooses another gear hanger, I won’t drop him. I would, though, probably take note and make our Gear Hanging system work even better for him and others.

[@GRockBlues]

Spencer is as straight up of a dude as they come...a man of total integrity...he has done so much for the saddle hunting community...Thanks Spencer!

[@luckytrapper7656]

I use the Tethrd HYS strap and I love it. I don't leave my nighteyes and bow hook on the strap so it's not bulky. It also leaves my options open to locate things on the strap where I want according to the tree and location I'm hunting. It works very well for saddle hunting .

[@SaddleHunter]

No doubt. It's all personal preference at the end of the day, even without the hangers, it didn't pack up as compactly as what I was looking for.

[@benjamincooper8531]

I have the hme strap and I replaced the cam buckle with a g hook and it works awesome. I have my quiver set back far enough that I can hang the bow from the limb. Very secure and easy.

[@SaddleHunter]

What are you connecting the g hook to?

[@benjamincooper8531]

@@SaddleHunter I cut the cam buckle off which leaves a loop on that end and then thread the tag end of the strap through the adjustable part of the g hook and then hook the g hook onto the loop that the cam buckle was previously attached with. Hope that makes sense haha.

[@OutdoorsAllie]

HME is solid. HYS is #1.

[@SaddleHunter]

It’s certainly a fantastic option.

[@tz444]

@@SaddleHunter Would be even better if they limited the amount of loops and slimmed I up

[@kyleacker3704]

Cam jam with addition of a taut like hitch allows the rope to tighten around tree. Then cam jam allows extra tension to pull the rope snug.

[@SaddleHunter]

I'll have to look into that hitch. Thanks for the tip!

[@buck_yeah]

Using that extra hitch you can also use the tag/tail end in front as a backup/additional tether. I do this, but hook it straight onto my saddle’s belt. Redundancy never hurts! Love the clear explanations in your videos!

[@tz444]

NICE JOB. For me I always have a pack and I do not want it at shoulder height, Daisy chain where I can hang it low works best for me.

[@BeardedSportsman]

The G3D bow hanger is the best solution on my HYS strap. Austin is a genius and always makes awesome products

[@SaddleHunter]

He does make some really neat stuff.

[@bradbishop-atfulldraw7491]

I went with the Genesis as well. Soon as I saw them I knew they figured it out and I am all about quiet and super simple

[@RoverConcepts]

So I found those HME straps on Amazon last year for like $3 so I ordered 4 and I took the hooks off of one of them and combined it on 1 strap, for a total of 6 hooks on the strap. Works great but might switch to HYS strap due to the cam buckle that I don’t love.

[@craigholland2274]

What is the bow clip at 13:53?

[@jax9224]

The daisy chain makes it hard to get hooks in especially when it’s attached to the tree so if you do daisy chain style make your loops big but the continuous loops attached with the prussic knot is by far the best way if you go that style.

[@walter992]

3D has a new design bow hanger that will alleviate the hanger arm sagging. I have on for my HYS strap. Good review.

[@develentsai3215]

You can use your waist belt for the strap and just use carabiners or paracord soft shackles

[@travispham8047]

Another great video. I watch all your videos but there is one video that you still need to do! Your actual setup that you went with 2020 and your planned 2021 setup! You reviewed a lot of tools and different products, which offer a lot of options for people. Thank to you I settled on the Recon which I love, so thank you for that. So now stop with the suspense and tell us what you finally settled on at the moment.

[@SaddleHunter]

I hadn’t even thought about doing a 2021 set up. I will plan on it for later in the summer. I’ve got a few more saddles I want to try, some climbing methods, and another platform on the way. Thanks for watching.

[@davetoms63]

I use the amsteel daisy chain. Then I just add a small zip tie loop to the loops I use most often and that is what I clip my pack calls binoculars too. It will add very little weight makes it very easy to clip in and out of a daisy chain

[@trxe420]

I have the HME and a Latitude Outdoors strap. I like both to be honest, but I like the latitude for the adjustable down strap where I can hang my bag at different heights and even use it (my bag) as a knee rest for saddle hunting. I am thinking of switching to the Tethyrd though as I like the Molle loop options better. I use the HME now on my fixed lock-on stands now and they still work great.

[@58BowNut]

Really like the looks of the genesis bow hanger and the strap hanger but I’ve been waiting for months to buy one and they’ve been sold out.

[@SaddleHunter]

That’s a bummer. Hopefully he gets more in stock soon.

[@mathews2088]

Keep your videos coming Really enjoy them

[@arturodelatorre4507]

What size of hero clip was that?

[@davidhidalgo5662]

I am just getting into saddle hunting this season. So have a million questions. Love your videos they help a lot. Do you prefer one stick climbing or carrying sticks for most going in blind hunts? Thank you and keep up the great videos

[@usernamehere6061]

I think 3 sticks with one maybe two single step aiders is the best setup. I only use one aider. Its quick and easy! GL

[@jalton9416]

Good fair review. I have the HYS strap from tethrd. It works really well for me.

[@enjoytheoutdoors101]

Great review and great info. Thanks!

[@Rooster_king]

I just use my linemans belt and tighten it to the tree with a short bungee ball using a prussik hitch. I use a bow hook that has built in gear ties. The pack fastens to the caribiner on the linemans belt. I've tried all these other methods and the linemans belt is the easiest and lightest since you've already got it. Once you use it, you realize how unnecessary these other straps are.

[@craigholland2274]

That's what I do currently in with my hang on but have a g3d bow holder on my stand. Any pics on how to make a bow hanger on your lineman's rope?

[@Rooster_king]

@@craigholland2274 Look up the hawk hookster. It uses a gear tie with a hook that works perfect. Has a rubberized coating too so it's silent.

[@prestonginther5624]

was it you that did the review on the attachment rope that had a prusik knot if so what was it called?

[@maxweiss1754]

What gear hanger do you use in 2022.

[@AlbeeSoaring]

Id be concerned with longevity or those 3d printed hooks. I looked on the website and it doesnt seem they want to say what material they use for the 3d printing. That normally means they use the cheap PLA. Be aware PLA is very brittle and can fail in cold temps. Could lead to a bow taking a 20'+ drop.

[@bec6143]

I used the Genesis 3D folding hook all last year, in temps down to 10F. Granted I was hanging a long bow so not a ton of weight, but it worked great.

[@eric8851]

My 3D hook for carrying my platform up the tree on my saddle broke within a few uses. I emailed them and never got a response back. So that told me all I needed to know.

[@markkahler1130]

Have you heard of hang and bang? Looks like Tethrd nock off. Curious on your knowledge of the product.

[@robertlocke7711]

I've tried them all an I like the Genesis 3D bow hanger the best. Strap Tether or 3D either are good. The rest don't bother with.

[@SaddleHunter]

I agree. I’ve never tried the tether option.

[@GiosSimCorner]

what backpack are you using in the video?

[@SaddleHunter]

An Eberlestock F1 Mainframe with two batwing pouches.

[@chuckparson6712]

Thanks for sharing. I've been considering what gear strap to buy. 👍👍

[@bassamaticfpv4354]

Ever use any of these as a back up tether for safety?

[@SaddleHunter]

No none of them have that kind of rating.

[@Ohio98]

Great review

[@morgantroutster]

Love your gear reviews. Be sure to turn up the volume on your edit. Hard to hear, even more so when you turn from the camera. Cheers!

[@SaddleHunter]

Thanks for watching. I just switched to a more robust editing program so hopefully I’ll have more options to do stuff like that.

[@naphtali1237]

What kind of backpack is that?

[@SaddleHunter]

Eberlestock F1 Mainframe with two batwing pouches. There’s a video of it on the channel.

[@PigeonPros]

Great videos, can't wait to see more on here and Instagram

[@SaddleHunter]

Thanks for the support! I have a ton of comment coming, I should be releasing 1-2 videos a week from now until fall.

[@Jase-E]

I have the HME and it's a great budget option but that buckle is just awful. The G3D looks and operates the same as the HME but the buckle is improved. I prefer the HYS or a daisy chain variant of it without the CamJam. The reason is because after you've tightened the G3D or HME to the tree and discover your hook placement isnt ideal, it's a complete pain to move the hooks around. Especially after your gear has been hung. Therefore, you're left with loosening the buckle with all the weight of your gear still on the hooks and trying to juggle keeping the strap tight with one hand while moving the one misplaced hook with the other. It's a mess. The price point makes it attractive but the functionality is lacking.

[@44hashbrowns]

I didn't think about that. Keeping my HYS lol

[@SaddleHunter]

That’s a good point and an excellent benefit of the HYS strap

[@benclark5373]

awesome video!

Thanks. I appreciate you taking the time to watch.

[@sarverfamilyfarms8937]

you forgot the best hanger on the market the dew claw from innovating the outdoors

[@SaddleHunter]

I made this video using hangers that I have used over the years. I didn’t go buy any just for the sole purpose of this review.

[@sarverfamilyfarms8937]

Yea wasn't trying to get you all wound up. But just letting you know that there is a very good option out there. And the bow hanger won't sag nor will it have a loud buckle 🤷‍♂️

[@GRockBlues]

Cannot concur with this opinion on the "best" gear hanger...The HYS style from tethrd is really all around the most practical method...and they even have a video on how to make your own...I did...I love it...never going to use any other method...cheers
