This truly is the best How To video! I bought an Amsteel Triad Bridge that arrives tomorrow and was clueless on exactly how I would need to install it. This was so descriptive and showed every step so precisely I feel very confident I can replicate while watching the video and installing my new bridge tomorrow! 😁 Thank you!!! I really like that style of bridge better as well!! The saddle kit I bought gave me a lineman, tether, and a 3rd rope to use as the “bridge” which to be any sort of comfortable I would have to cut down and melt the end off to shorten I don’t like the idea of that and would rather just save it to use if I need to replace my tether or lineman. So thank you thank you!!
No kidding. I watched the links that H2 sent me on install and thought I would never be able to do it. Found this link, and you broke it down simple style, and after a couple of rewinds I got it done. Thanks for the help. Awesome instructional video!
Incredibly helpful. Thank you for posting. Used this to put a cruzr adjustable bridge on my mantis. They have a similar design except there is only 1 continuous amsteel loop and a spiced eye on the bridge. By far the best video i could find!
@@platinumpursuitoutdoors definitely a compliment! Most people just fly through the techniques. You and Greg staggs do the best how to videos. Good luck this year
Great video, just what i needed to see. I ordered one of these a few days ago. Update: I received my Triad Bridge in the mail today, and with the help of your video i got it installed and working. It took me a few tries, but i got there. Thanks again.
My cruser xc came with an amsteel bridge but after my weight was in it I had a real hard time to get it release to adjust . I replaced it with a tubular webbing bridge . I think they were prussick hitch but it was a couple years back . Awesome tutorial I think I'm gonna switch back now with swabisch hitches on each end Where do you get the "kit " from h2 ?
Your bridge and loops look much more supple than mine are. Mine are rather stiff. They’re all black and feel like they’re coated in shoe polish like wax. Those swabish knots were a PITA to get tied but the real bummer is they are so tight they won’t slide.
Paul Crave that’s odd. Mine were black starting out. I have used mine quite a bit toying around with them. I can tie the schwabisch knot in about 15 second each loop. I can assemble and unassembled in under a min prob. Once you get the hang of it in that you invert it it becomes easy.
Aaron Wright Outdoors the rope feels like it’s coated in wax or something. The knots really bind up hard making them really hard to break lose to move them. I ended up making both the Prussic and the schwabisch with one fewer loops and they still bind super tight. I’m going to try some other Amsteel I have laying around for the bridge. It doesn’t feel waxy like the tribridge t Rope I got from H2
@@paulcrave3112 just got he Triad. Mine is the say way. Lots of wax coating and really stiff. Makes securing the bridge and adjusting the knots more difficult. With use and time the ropes should work themselves out eventually I think.
@@slaphappychappy I've moved mine several times and it's a huge effort each time. I hunted with it this morning and there was no way it was going to adjust with cold fingers. I gave up. It sucks.
dbuckner902010 I personally have not had and experience with a whoopie sling bridge. Having said that, I have no problems at all with the TriAd Bridge.
Only issue I have with my Triad is it’s not easily adjustable. Once set, I have to forcibly feed slack into the schwabisch hitch and manually loosen the loops in order to adjust back to transport mode. Love the bridge but wish it was more easily adjusted during hunts.
Is there a way to tie the Distel on a continuous loop like you did the Swabisch? I have a continuous loop that I want to use for my Tether to tie a Distel but I can't for the life of me figure out how to the it with a loop.
Trying to figure this out because it's not working for me like it works for you in the video. What knot is that you were using and maybe I can look that up and try to figure it out that way.
I’m not sure what you mean by an inline 8? But technically you could use any knot that would have enough bite to bite down on the lineman‘s loop. This particular not bites extremely well.
pahuntnut It’s adjustable. You can shorten or lengthen it. Also you can change the pressure setting on your saddle by using the prusik knots and moving them on the hip loops.
I climb DRT and climbing with a long bridge is unnecessarily difficult. Adjustable bridge lets me shorten it while I climb, and then at hunting height I can lengthen for comfort and range of motion.
I would double check the schwabish (however it's spelled) hitch to make sure it is installed correctly. I have not had that problem. If you want to connect on IG or FB maybe you could send one pics and I will try to help you trouble shoot??
I had the same issue with mine, I was really frustrated but after undoing it and doing it over and over many time I realized I had installed it incorrectly, now its easy to move, looks better and feels better, hopefully you got it figured out,

Thank you for taking the time to make my life easier. This helped out tremendously and I feel great about hanging 20’ plus now.
Good luck!

Thank you for the feedback, and for stopping in!
Amazing instructions. New to saddle hunting and the way you showed the step by step instead of the old "repeat for other side".
Hey thx!
Thank you so much for this video… I ordered the bridge but there were no directions… this video hooked me up!!!
Hey your welcome!
Great instructional video! I tied mine laying in front of me but your way looks much easier! Nicely done!
MADHUNTS Adventures thx
Very helpful, thank you for posting, worked perfectly. Good luck this season.
Thanks for stopping in and good luck to you!
Brother, you are a teacher! Always great vids!
Thx!
Great video! Mine is stiff and waxy also. I just received it yesterday. My knots have no trouble sliding.
You make the best how to videos on this stuff. Thanks for teaching us like we are 5 years old lol.
Thanks man… I think! Lol

Great installation! nice and easy, reiterates what you're doing, nothing confusing and dark video like the cruzr bridge installation video , Thanks!!!

Excellent video. Clear instructions, good views of the knots.
*_Hey my friend! Stopping by to show some support! Enjoyed your video! Wishing you tons of success on RUclips! :D_*
The People's Bookkeeper thx, likewise!
Got it tied properly! Thanks so much👍
Yeppers!
This is a very quality video. Nicely explained.
Thx!
You almost pursued me to be a tree climbing hunter. Great video.
Will Jenkins do it! Lol
@@platinumpursuitoutdoors Brother. I don't know anyone around here to get me set up. I don't want to have to learn that on my own.
Plenty of RUclips videos that can help you.

Where do you get the "kit " from h2 ?
You’re welcome! And yes, you can get it right from H2 website
Mine came in the mail today. This video will definitely help
Good luck!
@@platinumpursuitoutdoors thanks. Already was hanging in the backyard! Just what my saddle needed and the video made it easy to attach
Sweet man!
Wow, best video ever ! Thanks a lot, added this video to my favorites !
Hey Aaron thanks for uploading that video really helped out a lot I got a tethered Manus that I want to keep using but can't stand the pinching
Watch my video on installing the TriAd Bridge on the Mantis... gamechanger
Excellent, instructions!!!

I would reach out to Heath from H2. That definitely is not my experience with it.

Thx man! Appreciate it.
That’s awesome I don’t know I have not seen this till now or even heard of it would you prefer this over a whoopie sling bridge ?
dbuckner902010 I personally have not had and experience with a whoopie sling bridge. Having said that, I have no problems at all with the TriAd Bridge.
Awesome , just exactly what I was looking for 🙂👍thank you !
Your welcome
Great video..I have a trophy line saddle an I hate the strap bridge,I putting one of these on
You saved my day. Thank you!
Sweet!
I saved this video! Thank you!
Hey no problem! Thx for the support.
Brilliant. Y’all are gonna make me go through all my amsteel lol
Only issue I have with my Triad is it’s not easily adjustable. Once set, I have to forcibly feed slack into the schwabisch hitch and manually loosen the loops in order to adjust back to transport mode. Love the bridge but wish it was more easily adjusted during hunts.
How much mileage do you have on your bridge? Is it relatively new?
@@platinumpursuitoutdoors 2nd year but was doing it first year as well.
Gotcha. Try to re-dress the knots. That’s the only other thing I can think of.
@@platinumpursuitoutdoors Will try that. Thanks!
Yeppers hope it works!
Is the bridge rope amsteel that has been fed into itself?
The H2 Triad is not. And it doesn’t have to. Everyone else does though
Is there a way to tie the Distel on a continuous loop like you did the Swabisch? I have a continuous loop that I want to use for my Tether to tie a Distel but I can't for the life of me figure out how to the it with a loop.
I wouldn’t see how with a continuous loop. There might be a way but I can’t think of it.
@@platinumpursuitoutdoors Thats what I figured and why I scratched my head for 2 hours straight yesterday trying to figure it out
Lol.
Great detailed video
Trying to figure this out because it's not working for me like it works for you in the video. What knot is that you were using and maybe I can look that up and try to figure it out that way.
This is tying a Schwabisch hitch. Sorry you’re having a tough time. Are you doing what I am suggesting while wearing the saddle?
Great video!
What’s the amsteels diameter ?
1/4” on bridge the next size small on the loops
I’m using 7/64 amsteel loop for prusiks... I hope it could be enough for my “only” 330 lbs...
Great video
Thx
Nice video!! Got it!
Thx for stopping in!
Thx for stopping in!
What length is the continuous loops? Looks like about 12 in diameter?
It's right about the 13"mark
What size Amsteel is the continuous loops made out of?
I’m thinking 3/16”
I like this tutorial, but seems complicated. Why not use one rope and use an inline eight on either side?
I’m not sure what you mean by an inline 8? But technically you could use any knot that would have enough bite to bite down on the lineman‘s loop. This particular not bites extremely well.
Whats the advantage of this over the standard brigde?
pahuntnut It’s adjustable. You can shorten or lengthen it. Also you can change the pressure setting on your saddle by using the prusik knots and moving them on the hip loops.
I climb DRT and climbing with a long bridge is unnecessarily difficult. Adjustable bridge lets me shorten it while I climb, and then at hunting height I can lengthen for comfort and range of motion.
What are lengths of the Amstel loops?
If I remember they were 13”. I would contact H2 for sure.
Is there any way to put a tender on this?
Im sure you could. The same way I did for the latitude saddle.
awesome
Mine does not move that easy, has alot of waxy coating on rope. Have to fight to get it to unlock.
I would double check the schwabish (however it's spelled) hitch to make sure it is installed correctly. I have not had that problem. If you want to connect on IG or FB maybe you could send one pics and I will try to help you trouble shoot??
I had the same issue with mine, I was really frustrated but after undoing it and doing it over and over many time I realized I had installed it incorrectly, now its easy to move, looks better and feels better, hopefully you got it figured out,
Yes, it is very easy to have something twisted which makes it harder. But it should work relatively easily.
Mine is from h2 and is hard to loosen once i have pressure. I have to use both hands and “ break” the knot before i can adjust
There have been times mine has gotten “stuck”. If you twist the knot with your right and left hand it seems to help.
where can i order the amsteel so I can install this on my saddle? Thank you so much.
I bought my amsteel off of Eastern Woods Outdoors. But if you get online or other venues you can buy it off as well.
Thanks bud
Yeppers
Are they a kit to buy to get this ?? Send me link please
