Yo. Yeah, I started off my saddle hunting career as a roper. Then I had a humbling experience, which made me realize that I prefer being attached to the trunk at all times while off the ground.

@@DrizzyD670 I do tree work, roping in is what works for me. You can still run a lineman lanyard and be roped in. Cheers and climb high stay safe

Glad you enjoyed

Good morning. I did have a ladder, yes. I use this Sladder basically the same way as 1-sticking. Although I'm fine tuning my process and will probably send an updated video.

It did. But please keep in mind, this was my very first time ever climbing with this tool. Since then, I've really refined my process and can get up a tree and setup to hunt in about 10 minutes, 15 if taking my time.

Don't blame ya sir. Ladder stands are great if ya got good spots for em. Happy hunting.

I mean, you could. But rappelling is the best way down IMO. If you use a rescue figure 8 in conjunction with a third hand autoblock, the descent is actually annoyingly slow and uneventful, even for my 220 lb ass! Happy to answer any more questions.

Yeah man..HD mic on the GoPro..😁 Thanks for watching my friend.

I mean, I had to finesse a little bit, but nothing to write home about. I'm rockin size 13's. HBU?

Size 11. I think my loops are made too small.

The earliest evidence of humans using ladders for climbing is like 10,000 years old...jussayin buddy. Anywho, thank you for your productive remarks, and happy hunting. 😬

Fuggin internet man..🤣🤣 I have been saddle hunting for awhile and have never been sufficiently impressed with any product to make such a video. So take that for what's it worth. Happy hunting.

@@Mark.Brandenburg no prob dude. Happy hunting.

@chrisbender9361 By all means. Difference is, I can go up any tree. Climbers are restricted to powerpoles. And it's actually quite stealthy. Oh...and I can shoot 360°. This modern fabric ladder will hold 6,000 lbs of weight. Technology has come a long way. To each their own. I just shot a video to help the world see this innovative new product in action, becuase I'm very impressed. Of course, I'm also a dedicated saddle hunter. I get how seeing this product might not be the best intro to saddle hunting. If you've never tried it, there's an excellent video highlighting the pros and cons from NextStepOutdoors. th-cam.com/video/AHPA8wOYkUo/w-d-xo.htmlsi=or9cfh4s928_U5rF

Thank you kindly sir. You've realized one of my great fears. Any off-ground hunting requires respect and a healthy fear.

You gotta tie a knot with the tag end. Just one simple overhand will make that much harder to happen.

@@luckynorm100 then don't.

@@luckynorm100 It really isn’t much work at all. That being said i think it needs some tweaks. I need to climb with mine more.

Congratulations friend. This is a tool designed mainly for mobility and versatility, while keeping weight to a bare min. Certainly not the only tool in the box, but a great tool for many jobs.

I've no doubt that'll happen during hunting season.

It's a madrock safeguard.

No darky until October. But yeah...I've been one-sticking for years. And those ARE my normal hunting boots. Thank you for the passive aggression. Happy hunting.

Ever heard of a headlamp?

@@randobot6814 make a video in the dark and post it . Let’s is how easy it is.

Can you provide a link to a good video on these? The one I found was blurry and very difficult to follow. Thank you for the tip.

Nice. I will certainly try that. I haven't hunted with this thing yet but am looking forward to it

Spot on, my dude. Comfort is my #2 priority, second only to safety.

Indeed you could. Are those JX3's as comfortable as they look?

@@DrizzyD670 Super comfortable

Absolutely ​@@DrizzyD670

😁

Good morning. I climb in this video. th-cam.com/video/AS_h72mMlpY/w-d-xo.html

Yes, very much so. This is one more benefit that I didn't think to mention.

Sup my dude. I did a test climb in a different video. I'll post the link. As for rope climbing, yes, I've seen all JRB's vids. And I rope climbed an entire season before moving onto climbing sticks and never looking back. My next video will compare the various approaches the climbing. I appreciate you my guy. 🔥 th-cam.com/video/AS_h72mMlpY/w-d-xo.html

Happy to be of service. :)

Agreed, wholeheartedly. What I found though, is that I still use my big platform for longer hunts (2+ hours) because the smaller platforms were MURDER on my feet. I'm actually prepping another video that addresses this very thing. 😁🇺🇸

@@DrizzyD670that’s why you get the treetop hunting mobile Snyper one stick and have a full sized platform once at hunting height plus an easier climb because you are not climbing over a platform. This is a great idea but after using other iterations of this I found it not enjoyable. Aiders already suck climbing and leaning trees were rough with this type of climbing.

I have been through 3 different one-stick w/platforms looking for a comfortable platform, to no avail. I just did some preliminary research on this Snyper...🤔🤔 Thanks for the tip..looks bad ass. I'm going to check it out for sure. But my points made in the video remain. This sladder offers nearly all the perks of one-sticking plus several additional pros. So I'm definitely trying it out for a season. But I get restless and usually upgrade my kit every spring. 😂😂 Anyway, cheers! Happy hunting.

JRB DSRT rope climb and use a lower limb to stand on to be ultra light.

@@kirkloos8141 I have the Snyper and the Sladder. The Snyper is roughly 6.2 lb with cleat, rope, and aider. The Arsenal RZR Magnum 2.0 is the same size as the Snyper platform, actually a half inch bigger in length. The RZR is 2.8 lb paired with Sladder 1.8 lb. Climbing with a Sladder and Platform is a pound and a half lighter that the Snyper. Aiders are used in one sticking also. Same concept with the Sladder.

Happy to be of service

Especially when you have to buy the daisy chain extensions to use it in a lot of trees.

As opposed to??

As opposed to a regular tree climbing stand! By the time you are 15ft up you will be covered in sweat!

@Duhaubetahiks have you ever tried saddle hunting? It'll change your entire outlook on hunting. Truly. Not to be a dick... but I've encountered many folks who knock saddle hunting having never tried it. You can always tell because they claim that dated climbers are somehow superior to modern methods. And no way man. I can climb 20+ feet up a tree in less than.5 minutes, having exerted much less energy than a climber. And having only carried 5 lbs lbs of gear into the woods, as opposed to your 20-30 lb climber. Your sweating before you even get to the tree. If hunting off the ground, the only thing easier/ lighter than saddle hunting are permanent positions, ladder stands, etc.

Agreed

It is, very dangerous too.

I'm curious about this too.

I've one-sticked a lot. I like this better. I'm doing another video on this, as well.

Sounds good. I'm currently one sticking and like it overall. Actually I'm kinda doing a hybrid. One sticking with one X2 stick and hunting with the XOP Cold world with my saddle and love it . But this looks good also

Hell yeah brother!

@@tomnolan2186 one sticking was definitely easier for me as this has a bit of a learning curve. But I like this a lot better overall

Thank you kindly. Would you mind sharing a link to these hooks?

For some reason, YT won't let me share links.

​@@tsavxaj7335gotta love it. Lol.

I cut it before shooting the video, once I knew it worked. Lolol. Just look at the hundreds of satisfied customers if ya think I'm up to no good.
