- Mobile Hunting is the name of the game, especially if you hunt public land. Today I discuss the 3 mobile hunting systems I utilize during the deer season and the pros and cons of each one. If your looking to get into mobile hunting, this video is for you.

Awesome breakdown! Thank you sir.
Great video man! I am brand new hunter and still figuring out how I want to get into a tree. A lot of useful info on the benefits of each system for specific scenarios, where you're going and what type of environment it is. For what I will probably be doing, the saddle is seeming to be my best option so far.
That was an awesome video. Very informative about the different setups
I’m glad you liked it! Good luck this fall!
Great video! I've been seeing a lot of folks using the bottom half of a climber/saddle combo that eliminate the need for steps. I'm thinking about trying that method. It seems that it would be so much easier than fumbling with strapping on steps while going up a tree. If you have the right setup you can rappel down or simply climb back down.
Some people run that route. Just make sure you experiment with it first because that may kick out on you when you lean over.
@@oakironoutdoors2436 Good thinking!
New Subscriber. I just started a new channel n was going to call it Oak n Iron. Because of my little diy stix. I was thinking of it for almost 2 yrs. Just dropped the hammer. Oh, it suits you way better. Oak n Iron is that what you eat? lol. Take a look at what I'm doing. I think you'll like it, especially the stand mod. (One Stixing like a BOSS). I hope you do, and you leave a comment. Thanks
Nice! Actually the name Oak stands for the Outdoors and Iron stands for training and exercise component of my channel as I’m a personal trainer and an associates degree in physical therapy. So I also talk about exercises in regards to hunting and fishing. Good luck with your channel and I will subscribe.
@@oakironoutdoors2436 Cool n thanks, I'll be watching your videos as well.
Are those saddles a complete harness or not? I could tell in the video. Was that a lone wolf climber? If it was, they were made in manitowoc aluminum foundry. I don't know if they're made there anymore.
The saddle is considered a complete harness. That is a Lone Wolf climber and it may have been made in Manitowoc at the time but I’m pretty sure they are now made in Illinois.
Saddles are a fall restraint system, not a fall arrest. My saddle has an Amsteel bridge, which is one of the strongest rope materials. However, amsteel does not do well with shock loads. Any slack could result in a catastrophic failure if you were to fall. That scenario is unlikely in a saddle, but it's best to be aware of equipment limitations
XOP cast climber will run you $330 which is the stand you have as Lone Wolf is no longer. LWCG Crossover Climber is $999 and is a fully machined aluminum stand. Just as a reference.
Thanks for that info. 👍🦌
@@oakironoutdoors2436 Was a great video and explanation of where when and why you use certain stands!!! I live up here in Maine and have made the same progression in stands right down to the tried and true Loggy Bayou. Only mine did come with a hand climber piece to it. Great stand for what it was!!!! Way more versatile then my summit. I also do agree on the saddle thing. We have very limited access up here in the Northeast to a wide range of saddle gear. This makes it tough to try things out as there are so many variations and choices so I’ve had to learn the hard way. I ended up with a CGM Cobra which for a single panel I believe would be hard to beat. However I do believe a double panel would work better for my purposes. Although I have a couple people close to me now with JX3’s and I must say truly interesting piece of equipment!!!! My boss uses an IWOM suit which is the Heater Body Suite competitor and it would take a little practice but could be used with all 3 stands configurations. For the saddle you have to make a mod to allow for a bridge but it’s minor. Again Luv the video has great info!!!!
