Great video! I just made the switch to a saddle two years ago. I'll be one sticking this season. As I get older I enjoy having to carry less weight in. Loved that you shared about Jesus. We need more people doing that. Where are you guys located? Tom
Good video, the biggest thing with saddle hunting is sequence imo. Making sure you get things put away in the right order so you can pull them out in the right order. I like that you double line transfer, that is about as safe as you can get and only takes a few seconds longer. The last thing I would say is make sure you put the tether on the correct side of the tree so you don't swing, for me that is always canted a little to the opposite side of the lean. Gravity is always going to pull you a certain way in a tree and setting the tether height and side really helps balance you. I would also advise getting a single V step. Not only will this allow you to set your platform a foot to two feet higher, you can also anchor it a bit opposite your platform, which gives you a foot hold for maneuvering around the tree.
So do you shoot right hand or left hand with your bow? I find that if you put your platform on the side you shoot from your steps it really seems to give me better angles to shoot from. This allows you to use your top step to get a shot that might be more around the tree to the left and behind your tree.
We believe that they are both very different but both comfortable. The Cruzr is heavier and more comfortable because there is more material, the tethrd phantom is lighter and more minimalistic but still has that comfort as well!
Too many moving parts. Would hate to have a bear climb the tree while I’m trying to figure out how to move around in this thing. All tied down and tangled up into the tree while a bear eats me slowly lol

Great stuff right here! Thanks for the comment!

Makes sense thank you. We are both right handed shooters.
Do you guys prefer the cruzer or the tethrd saddle ? Is one more comfortable than the other?

@@wilddominionoutdoors2273 thanks ! Looking to get a saddle setup soon
@@davidthompson1529 what climbing method do you use, if you don't mind me asking?
Daisy chain your lineman rope then clip it back to linemen loop... then you don't even tie up a dump pouch
Appreciate the comment!

Hahaha having a bear get on you would not be a fun experience. Stay safe. God bless!
