IIHU 😊OOQ😮😮😮😮Q😮

can you srt with the mammut?

can i use only for rappel

Have you seen my hybrid stand? It is in video (One Stixing like a BOSS)? If not plz watch n let me know what you think in the comments. Thanks

Question I was told that for one sticking a single panel Saddle is easier to climb then with the double panel do you find that true?

Looks like a nice beefy saddle compared to my phantom. I’m looking to up grade to something more comfortable. This one is on my list of buying

Nice!

Hello, thanks for sharing. Please tell me what size saddle is in the review, 2?

Are those adjustment buckles on the bridge plastic?

What’s the best mobile Hunting saddle pack that you found for sticks and saddles? I really like insights saddle stalker! But there’s no place to put anything else it’s the most uniform packet in unit I’ve seen they just add some pockets on the outside that would be fantastic. What do you think? Any other packs out there? I carry the x2

Defeats the purpose of a soft ultralight system

What’s the difference really between using this Archon alone and an XC with a back band?

so what do you recommend for someone just starting out ? best saddle good platform?

I like the latitude features . But no big with a rope wast belt to hold to saddle pouches that have wight

I'm interested in what company makes that climbing line. I've seen some people reviewing climbing line that looks very sketchy once u take the protective wrap on the outside off. I use line made by Sterling & if it needs a sewn eye that will hold a carabiner or a large sewn loop that allows u to girth hitch around a tree or large branch by just putting the tag end of your climbing line through it. But u need throwline hooked to a throwbag like a Petzyl 12 oz. Yellow throwbag. Then u have to have a cube to store all your throwline in. But if u had some 550 paracord & a 14 oz. throwbag u can get up in a 🌳 where u throw over a union in the 🌳 & then switch out that paracord with your climbing line. I've been doing this for 5 years now. I spend February, March & the 1st part of April to setup several spots in many areas. But when I'm up in the 🌳 I can usually toss my throwball over a higher union in the 🌳 that I just can't reach from the ground due to branches getting in the way. I've been to spots where the branches coming off the trunk of the 🌳 that just won't work due to tightness. So the learning curve is learning to avoid these time waisters. Simply pick the low hanging fruit, climb until u get a good foothold & tether yourself to the 🌳 & then get the throwball over a more suitable place & when u have both ends of the paracord hook it to your climbing line so that will be your hunting height. U will develop a feel for it. A good area to go is a 🌳 that u couldn't attach a climbing stick to. Those oak 🌳 with huge trunks have multiple options which is nice. My current climbing system is SRT & it's 40 feet with a Sterling 9mm CRV rope which is a static rope. I have a 30" eye to eye hitchcord which is a Beeline. It goes right above my Trango Vergo rapell device. One triple locking Petzyl oval carabiner which is called a Mousqueton OK Triact needed for the whole system. I use a double bridge on my saddle so I keep connected into one system with the slack stuff tucked away. The bridge that I didn't use to climb with I connect a 8mm Oplux tether to it & that's it. How I ascend in an effortless way is by having a micro pulley hand ascender which is the CT Quick-roll. It takes 2 fingers to advance that Quick-roll & I can climb 20 feet in a minute w/o breaking a sweat. Much less items to stealth strip too. I'm never going to be willing to save $50 for an injury that costs me $50,000.

I used the Skeletors this past season and they are a great stick. They bite hard into the tree. Half the time after taking the rope off they are still stuck to the tree. The design is great and you get a solid footing on them. The DynaLite rope attachment is simply awesome. I’ll never use a buckle strap again. With 4 of them and using a short aider on just the first step, 18-19’ at the platform is easily achieved (I’m 5’ 10”). But man, cutting back on half the weight is making me look at the One Stick’s.

The panel adjustments are easy to use when you’re in the tree and have weight in the saddle. How’d you get the removable leg straps? Mine didn’t come with that.

Great video thank you for the tips with the end of 2023 season ending I am beginning my transition to saddle hunting I like a lot of your set up. Do you have a gear list? I really like your gear strap and hooks as well as your ring of steps.

Great video and explanation. I bought the ess and subscribed. I will have plenty of time for the learning curve I hope!

I recently went to a tubular strap tether from Hang Free. You may want to give it a look. Another great video. Keep them coming.

The technora sheath on those Sterling Canyon ropes are slippery. My rope is Canyon Tech, and even though it is 9.5mm I still had trouble finding a carabiner to work.

To aid in adjusting the length of the steps maybe mark the tubular webbing tag end in 1/2" or 1'" increments.

All id do in that is sleep. I can see it now. Cold morning just napping

There are some with the same style features and you say one is harder to adjust than the other. It was the last one with the lower panel clips and the other on with the same style clips. You said the earlier one was hard to adjust with one hand while that last was easy but they’re the same. Great video btw

Wow, just what Im lookin for... I been stayin over night in my tree just so I dont have to hike 2-1/2 miles in the dark so I can be where I want at daylight.. this is perfect...

Great info.

Spider man to the rescue! ;)

Still the best aider on the market.

Cool video thanks

Add measurements directly to the material.

Good video

Isn't it easier to set your stick while in a standing position so attach an aider to that rope that's going around the tree. Also why do you have to reach down so far to grab that stick just put some sort of lightweight extension on it or something otherwise good vid

For reference I bought and used the Tethrd Mantis for 3 seasons. I could see the benefits of a saddle for the way I hunt so I jumped into the saddle game back in 2019. I cannot overstate how far the saddle game has come since I bought the Mantis. I've been able to borrow saddles from friends and I've known for some time an upgrade was in my future. I've gotten to use the Tethrd Phantom, Tethrd ESS, AeroHunter Kestrel, Dryad Drey, Cruzr XC & Cruzr Archon. I find myself liking the 2 panel options best. I bought a back band from Tethrd when I bought the Mantis and it helps but with the 2 panel options I find the back band obsolete. The Tethrd ESS is comfortable but I think its too complicated to keep the panels together when walking in/trying to step into the saddle and I don't like the webbing bridge material. I always hear good thrings about the Cruzr XC & I have nothing bad to say about it but when I used it side by side with the Cruzr Archon I thought the Archon was easily the winner. I purchased the Cruzr Archon for myself out of all those options. Those same friends who allowed me to borrow their saddles have since used my Archon and they all really like it. I'm a gear nut. I'd love to demo some others just because I'm always curious but I'm going to be happy hunting from the Archon for a good while.

6 inches is definitely a good length. thank you for confirming

WHAT'S THE LINK TO BUY, I NEED TO BUY THIS COOL FOLDING.

I run 2 tethers , one I use for a lineman or tether , while moving/repositioning my initial tether up ,

Have you used the stick from EWO? I’m curious your overall thoughts on that stick. I’m still torn between which to buy.

Thank you

Thank you

Outstanding video, thank you. I’m looking seriously at saddle hunting for next year and this video was very helpful. Thanks

Could you put 2 foot ascenders on the hand ascender, and that's your "platform"?

Thank you for all the great videos....I'm just now getting into saddle hunting and have 40' of Oplux. I have narrowed rappelling devices down to the Mammut Wall Alpine or the Black Diamond ATC-XP since they are both capable of operating on single lines smaller than 8MM. I have 2 questions: First, if I have the Schwabisch under load above the ATC and I stop to take off a stick, will it be easy to break the friction of the Schwabisch to resume the rappel? Second, on his site, I saw that you had suggested to "Privileged Bowhunter" that he use the 'guide hole' on the ATC as a tender for the Schwabisch...looks like that would work on the Mammut Wall Alpine as well...do you still like that idea? Thanks in advance!

Good job

Well made video. Good info.

I like the 1/4" am steel and the micro cleat sold at Eastern Woods. Thats a sweet combination. The micro cleat was probably not available when you shot this video. Great content!

I love my skeletors. Buddy has the one sticks and I just can't use them comfortably. Bigger feet and have back injuries making me more unstable. So I NEED stability and space. I barely notice the weight.

What is saaaadle hunting?

“Aberlastock” lol. Good review man.

The noise of the aggressive knobs was a deal breaker for me. Went with the tethrd predator. The Cruzr XC saddle however is sooo good!

I have never used these lightweight sticks. The type I have used in the past stacked from the ground up. These little skinny ropes scare me a bit. They are so small.
