This saddle process is about the cool thing I’ve ever seen
Best video on this I have seen! What rope is that?
good job
This is a cool trick and will try. I’ve just been repealing old school way
I’ve been using my figure 8 this way since I came into the saddle world! People put stoppers and blockers and etc attached to it which I understand the extra safety but I’ve never not once seen any reason a blocker is needed when a rope is put into that type of pinch point or any item it’s garunteed to lock in! But if your concerned and want an extra safety on it you can add that little stopper rope to it
@@trailingwhitetails3667 yeah I’ll probably use a prusik on the breaking side just as a backup first few times.
@@Dmoore37 yessir majority of people do it! I never have I tested the method a lot under pressure before ever going into the woods and just couldn’t see it and it’s probably dumb of me because accidents to happen and it doesn’t take no extra effort I just never went around to the store to buy the extra piece of rope for it! Best of luck to you and be safe out there!
@@trailingwhitetails3667 tried it today and worked like a charm!
Great video. Much appreciated. This looks like a great alternative to a mechanical descender and exactly what I've been looking for. I was wondering, though, if there is any chance of this being considered side loading like with carabines.
I appreciate you! And are we talking side loading as in potential hazard for it to flip out? If so you can put a prusik knot above it with a small cord attach it to the carabiner and it’ll provide an auto lock for failure! But I don’t do it (I should) but I’ve been using this method for a long time now and don’t see the fault unless your just absolutely careless
@@trailingwhitetails3667 Thanks for responding so quickly. I'll give it a try.
@@rokdogg576 absolutely! But if you keep the tag end of your repel rope to that right side as I have then it won’t flip out but if you step over or forget and it crosses the body there is a higher chance of it pulling out! Just be safe out there! I always recommend a backup although it’s hypocritical of me because I don’t use one! But your safety is the priority in the scenario!
Is that considered a closed bridge on that saddle or opened? I am a newbie. But I am very interested in this style of hunting from a tree. I am looking into purchasing a saddle setup.
I believe mine would be considered a closed adjustable bridge since it’s factory set and the extra knot you see is my way of keeping the slack out.
If it was to be an “open” bridge it would need a disconnect from my bridge loops (carabiner) or some form of easy disconnect.
I could be wrong on this but from my understanding it’s closed
@@trailingwhitetails3667 Thanks for the clarification on that.
@@landhunters1423 absolutely I could be wrong though so don’t take my word fully that’s just what I think on that!
Take some long 1/2 strips of Duct Tape and wrap up your carabiners and Figure 8. Take that rattle right out.
It’s funny you say that! I just wrapped them in a camo cloth type material wrap🤣
There is usually a knot in the end of the tether, that "stopper knot" is designed to stop the prusik from pulling off the end of the rope. Remember to screw the gate closed down, so you don't "screw-up". I like the concept, I will have to try it, I am including a pulley on my ascender, and using it to assist instead of a foot loop, as a piece to try. I would encourage others that are interested to get out and try it where they can before season, so they are familiar and comfortable with their setup.
I just saw a video ref using a re-direct (pulley) to help ascending. NOT recommended as it may reorientate your figure 8. When it does it will take the twist out and give you a very speedy descent .

If this system works for you, cool. However, this is a really dumb thing to be promoting on here. If the climber allows enough slack on the rope for that loop to come off the smaller lobe of the figure eight they will become completely detached from the rope. There’s a reason this is not a generally accepted use of a figure eight. At least you got a handful of views out of it though.
This is the most original system in the books other then a Blake’s hitch with a bowline knot , but I will say I have never ever been in the situation for it to come out and if tried several ways and ran this system for years… you literally have to abuse this to have failure and at that point you shouldn’t be climbing in the first place
