How to Properly Adjust your Tree Climbing Saddle - TreeStuff

[@Beerbatter1962]

I recently spent about an hour trying different settings on my Monkey Beaver harness to get a feel for how everything changes as I make adjustments. Especially going to all the extremes like you did. That was time very well spent. Not only did I get a better understanding of what to adjust when it doesn't feel right, but my harness fits and feels way more comfortable now. Definitely can't say enough about spending some time with your harness adjustments.

Really glad this helped!

Now I have saddle envy. Lol. My $100 Amazon purchase doesn't allow all of these types of adjustments. That's what an extra $300 will get me. Nice. Very thankful for your video. Helps alot!

[@connorhoneycutt1420]

Excellent video. I’m so glad you explained how to adjust the harness to keep you sitting up!

[@leeo712]

Excellent. Your presentations are very clear. I like that you showed incorrect adjustments and the results. Learned about the adjustment of the lower D's and what it does. Will have to try this one out. I have both versions of the Sequoia SRT saddle and love them.

Glad it was helpful!

Thanks again for a great instructional video! Very informative and in a timely manner. A great help especially with some of the gear from overseas where I’ve noticed they sometimes have a different way of presenting written instructions as well as pictures of how to use or fit

I have a new harness, my first harness ever, and have been wondering about the fit. So it's good to find these basic videos. I must say the Notch Sentinal fit seems to be a bit strange. I went with the bigger size. The belt tightens down fine but the legs are cinched up as much as possible. But now I understand I don't need my leg loops very tight. I wear 36" waist Carhart pants so figured I needed the bigger harness. I did the Treestuff special where the harness was free. It seems comfortable but the buckles are difficult to undo. At least at the waist if under tension.

Love my Notch Sentinal, mins I've had to return two due to it tearing on both sides under the D rings . Apart from that and exactly what you said about a strange ass fit 👍

You should be a Petzl spokesperson. Excellent presentation. I like your "rule of thumb"👍

[@user-ku2qb1pq7e]

Wow, thanks

[@bdpgarage]

Great demonstration

[@user-ku2qb1pq7e]

Thank you!

[@Version135]

Realized my sequoia srt is probably not properly adjusted then i find this! Thanks.

[@user-ku2qb1pq7e]

Glad this was helpful for you!

[@scatoutdebutter]

VERY HELPFUL! Thanks for making it generic. Very helpful.

[@chrisduda1974rr]

Awesome video, very well explained

[@spivey8481]

Thanks for the great video! I need to do make harness adjustments. 😏

[@Velcrostraps91]

I have the non srs version of this. I have exclusively only climbed on sequoia since 1st gen. My ONLY complaint on this one is the "Bermuda triangle" straps after a little moving around a tree always end up loosening. If there was a better buckle to keep that webbing in place that would be a very great detail to have worked out for the coming version(s).

[@numchuckkiller]

New SRT Version comes with a clip that locks the strap in place.

[@johnangeleri7336]

Glad you liked it!

[@leemitchum7498]

I was given a new Sequoia and I climbed in it for about 6 months and decided it was uncomfortable and I didn't like it I never thought to fine tune it like this thanks

[@user-ku2qb1pq7e]

Hope this helps!

[@leebennett3672]

Got the petzl srt as well . really comfy. I love the fit

[@user-ku2qb1pq7e]

Enjoy!

[@elitefleet6402]

great video. I have the same problem with my full body harness it is always making me lay back in it. Is it because i have a big beer belly as people keep telling me

[@trickle2257]

I have the sequoia SRT and my rope bridge that’s on it seems super short??? I got the size 1 I would say I’m of an athletic build I’m 6’ 3/4” or 72.75” tall weight 210 with a 33-34” waist. The rope bridge is sewn together on the ends doubled over and has plastic caps on them

[@Version135]

It's the same for me. When i adjusted those straps in now the bridge is in the way of putting it on.

[@emptyb9968]

Thank you!

[@dansmith2372]

Nice video thank you

[@phildonohue6257]

Great video! What size is the green line that you have in your bridge?

[@stevesoutdoorworld4340]

Great tips thanks so much!

[@katieentity8895]

Will this eliminate leg numbness? When I'm in my harness, my legs go numb!!!!

[@matejkubis]

exactly my saddle. thanks

[@user-ku2qb1pq7e]

Glad to help!

[@tntshuffle-9799]

@@user-ku2qb1pq7e I just received the srt saddle! Thank you for putting out this video! This is great info, especially for those of us who are newer!

[@konradrehn4540]

Same here. Very well explained! I’ve been struggling with fitment on this saddle and this really helps, Thank you!

[@ogrcracing296]

Great video, but what about saddle bridge length when using diff climbing gear? ie; Zig Zig vs, etc

[@user-ku2qb1pq7e]

Great suggestion!
