Thanks for the informative video. I just bought a mondo and never have saddle hunted. I wasn't sure which rope was for what. Excited to give it a try. All good info.
So I got the full rut kit that came with the Mondo, my issue i noticed was that when i shoot to my left and downwards, the bottom portion of my bow string hits my bridge rope. Am I doing some wrong with the ropes, or do i just need to adjust the way I shoot and position myself?
Just ordered mine but I can tell you it’s probably a self rescue for if you do fall you loop it to the other side and and stand in it so you’re not cutting circulation off in your legs, most harnesses I’ve owned have had them
This video was great. Thanks for the information it helped a lot. I’ve seen a lot of guys talk about doing away with the prusik knot and instead just buying a ropeman ascender like they use for rock climbing. Do you have any experience with that or do you know where you would use that? On the tether or the bridge? Any info helps.
How do you feel about it after 6 months? Any significant points of praise or any negatives? Im on the fence whether i just continue saving and try and get a tethrd or if i just pull the trigger and pick this up and run it till the end of the season 😅
Another thing you can do is flip the pad under and then put your seat up and you have a knee pad rest to protect your knees when you put knees against tree. Darren
I am new to hunting and have never hunted from a tree stand before. Looking to get something for public land. Would you recommend the mondo saddle and a platform or the vanish hang on stand

Thanks for helping me spend my money, couldn’t decide between the $200 kit or the better saddle.
They should put a link to this video their website blows and the instructions are nonexistent. Thanks for the info I was getting pissed
@@ernestnelson2407 I do my best to answer the questions everyone wants to know!
Great video and info, just got my XOP saddle in. It's gonna be my first time trying saddle hunting. Thanks
Awesome dude!
How did it go?
@@ukjw2 I absolutely love it! It's the only way to hunt as far as I'm concerned. 💯
@@78joeleethanks for the answer. I’ve struggled to find reviews from people who weren’t sponsored somehow by xop.
Going to order mine. It’s my first saddle set up. Great price to get started. Thanks for the review 👍🏼. Good luck this season.
How did you like it? Comfortable enough?
Do you have a link or name for the clips for your belt? That’s a sweet product!
A year later, how do you like it?
I'm so tempted to get mine on order!
Thank you, sir!
Just ordered mine today, thanks for the video!

@@aleksstrehlke3475 I just try my best to slide my hips over as far as I can and bend at the waist
Which sticks are these? Also where did you get the belt loop stick attachments? Awesome vid btw man. Very informative
@@tylerstovall9136 xop should have the stick attachments
Can you attach a back support to the mondo?
@@AveryHoffman-s5p yup! I run the cruzer back strap. Works great
there is a thin strap that comes rolled up on the right side of the lineman's belt loop. Is that used for anything specific?

How do you like it with the full harness. Seems like shedding layers or adding a jacket would be a pain.

So, if I buy the 200$ kit the only other thing I’d need is climbing sticks to get me up in a tree correct?
@@ChasingWhitetail32 yep!
Can you tell me the molle loops width measurement? I need to order molle clips but dont have my harness yet.
I believe they’re 1-1.5” wide

I’ve been using it a ton and I find it pretty comfortable! I’ve sat in it more than a stand and I haven’t had an issue with it
Now that youve used it a little, any good customizations or accessories?
I’ve gotten side bags for it to hold stuff. That’s about it! Pretty solid unit
After hunting this season would you say it’s comfortable enough?
Yes 100% I’ve sat it that more than a stand
How do you use the mondo as a safety harness
@@jasonthomas3727 it has shoulder straps with a harness attachment. I ended up cutting it off
Where did you find those stick clips?
Xop Website! Believe they’re $15 for 4
Searched the whole website and can’t find them. Helpppp
@@GruntingToast odd I can’t find them either, let me contact a guy and I’ll let you know…
Just got word from Xop guy, they’re currently out of stock but should be back soon!
Does it give a wedge
I guess I’m not sure what you mean by that?
I’m assuming he means wedgie 😂
Another thing you can do is flip the pad under and then put your seat up and you have a knee pad rest to protect your knees when you put knees against tree. Darren
Good review
Great video!! Thanks!!

It’s much more lighter to carry around the mondo in my opinion!
Just picked one up yesterday in Alabama at the hunting expo!! I haven’t got in the tree yet but it fits very nice

I borrowed my buddies because I forgot mine. Those buckles are so noisy. I think g clips are a better option
Pros and cons to both yes, I’d like to see them with a rubber coating or something
