Saddle Hunting Set Up For2024!

[@five9eight]

I have the same sticks. I stack mine on top of each other rather than side to side. I feel its quieter stacking and unstacking them. Also went with the Amsteel USA PRO. Lighter and quieter. Good vid.

[@Hooked-and-Loaded]

I’ll have to try doing that. They do get a little loud. I’m glad you like the video!

[@NoEscapeOutdoors]

Awesome explanation sir. Can't wait to get into the woods this year

[@JBJHonez]

As some may say, You should set your tether before stepping onto the platform in case then platform gives way while steeping out onto it. Some even climb using with a tether instead of lineman’s because it’s safer, just not as fast😊

[@Hooked-and-Loaded]

That is a good point. I may have to try that when stepping in my platform. It may even save me some time!

[@apexpredatoroutdoors8308]

Nice , thorough video. I use 2TC. If you like something much lighter, simpler, safer and quieter, consider looking into it.

[@Hooked-and-Loaded]

I sure will! I’m always looking for ways to make my setup better!

[@apexpredatoroutdoors8308]

@Hooked-and-Loaded I have videos of the rig I use in a play list. The most recent ones are the ones I would look at.

[@joshlasure3384]

Great video man. Look into stealth strips or hockey tape to quiet the metal down. Also if you put 2 sticks on each side of pack n the platform it should put weight closer to your body. Which in turn should make it easier going in n out and feel like it weighs less

[@Hooked-and-Loaded]

I have some stealth strips on those sticks but I definitely need to get another roll ordered to put some more on them. That is a great idea too. I am definitely going to do some experimenting and see if I can’t get it to feel a little lighter, thanks!!!

[@donnieouellette6570]

I dont think i caught what saddle that was...could you share?

[@Hooked-and-Loaded]

Yes I forgot to mention it in the video. It is the trophy line covert pro saddle. I have the kit that comes with the accessories. Thanks for asking!

[@donnieouellette6570]

@Hooked-and-Loaded Thanks for the response, I did a little inspector gadget and actually was able to figure it out. I may have settled on that saddle, how do you like it?

[@Hooked-and-Loaded]

@@donnieouellette6570 I really haven’t hunted a ton out of it, but so far I love it. If you want a cheaper saddle XOP makes good ones. A lot of companies make great saddles, so it’s hard to say if this trpphyline is the “best one”. But I am very pleased with it. It’s also a little less expensive than some of the other brands without sacrificing any quality.

Is that poison ivy on the tree?

[@Hooked-and-Loaded]

@@curtwatkins9520 No it isn’t thank goodness! It’s just some smaller branches and leaves on the tree.
