XOP Full Rut Saddle System Very First Climb

First Climb with the XOP Full Rut Saddle Kit.
Man Portable Kit, workable system.
I only added a Dyneema Sling as a Bridge.
Kit comes with 3 ropes complete with prussics and carabiners.
Saddle is comfortable. May add Knee Pads and a fleece pad for cold weather.
J-Hooks locked sticks to platform well.
Not much noise when separating and installing up a tree.
No slipping on tree after initial down lock. Held well into the tree.
Platform is large enough and study enough
Had no fear of falling.
Locking Carabiners are a strong plus.
Did not need my grigri or T-Block. Will only want that if I repel down.
Looking forward to a over nighter, set up with a repel rope, and have it all ready for before daylight the next day.

Is that one of those new wind chime deer chasers? Leave your sticks attached to each other, pulling one off as you go and add some stealth strips to get rid of the church bells. Simple and cheap improvements to stay quieter in the woods.

@@damiankildare9230 I know...on set up and hearing the "wind Chime" I will have to do something. I am going to look into stealth strips. Thank you.

@VeritableOutdoors XOP Hush tape will quiet your sticks for less than $20. Good luck on this year's season and stay safe up there.

@@damiankildare9230 Thank you. I had thought about wrapping the straps around them but like the idea of the hush tape better.
