I love the edit you did on the hunt with that saddle. How you had the deer on one side of the tree and you on the other was cinematography genius sir. Awesome videos. Thanks for the great content.
@@TheBudgetSportsman I def plan on giving them a try, don’t have a saddle currently but for the price I think I will give theirs a try. I like giving the small businesses support when possible
Definitely will keep this one in mind over the next year or two. Awesome review from a trustworthy source. It’s great to keep an open mind and check out these newer or lesser known companies. Awesome job.
I found that xop came out with a saddle and safety harness combo. I’m looking into buying that to see how it is. It’s priced at about $130. I’ve also looked at this one in the video since I saw it from your doe kill video.
I looked at the XOP and while it is technically cheaper it just doesn't appeal to me at all. The safety harness feature just means extra straps getting in my way that I won't use. I also don't think that you are going to get the same level of customer service as you will get from CGM
Great review of the CGM Sidewinder. I would have to agree with you on it being one of the best saddle out there for the value. Oh, and great job with your editing! 🤜🏼
Hi Nathan. Great review and true to your focus. The Recon Treehopper is an affordable 2-panal priced at $150 with good TH-cam videos available if you're interested. I haven't forgotten about our chat and emailing some music, but my new teaching career has me dialed in. Take care and keep up the good work!
Once agian, NAILED IT! Awesome video. Based on yours and others input, we have added a few belt options on the web page. We found 2 great options that allow us to keep the price where it is!
Awesome Jerry. I just went and checked and saw the new options available on the page. I should have checked that before I made the video. Keep up the good work.
@@TheBudgetSportsman Well Hallelujah !!!! It didn't show up under the tree, but praise the Lord, a brand new Sidewinder showed up with my Valentines day card. Planning to try it out after visitation this morning, that's if the snow and wind will let up. Look for the footage on the greatest fails show .........

When you life depends on a piece of gear, don’t buy the cheapest available. Saddle, tether, ropes and carabiners are what keep you from falling. Don’t cheap out on those items!
The $425 is for the bundle which includes a tether and linesman’s belt, backband, dump pouch and two tether climbing method. Here is the link to the sidewinder alone which is out of stock but not priced at $190. www.customgearmodifications.com/product-page/Sidewinder-hunting-saddle

Thanks 👍
You're one of my favorite guys to watch on TH-cam. You speak with passion, and knowledge... I love it!
Wow, thank you! I sure appreciate it. I am assuming your TH-cam name has a double meaning?
@@TheBudgetSportsman yes sir!! #SavedByTheBlood
Love it!
Def interested in these. Never heard of them until I saw this
Definitely check them out. CGM is definitely coming out with some cool new products.

Thanks CLA. This one is definitely worth considering!
They’re just up the road from me and I’m hoping this spring to be able to pick one up. Seems like a great guy. I have their dropout bag and love it.
That's Great. It's an awesome saddle.
I ordered mine a week ago! Great company and saddle!
Great to hear!
Hmm, I may need to pick one of these up. Sure would be an upgrade over a sit drag haha
Oh yeah. WAY better than the sit drag!

@@TheBudgetSportsman that was a concern I have to with the bigger harness hanging down like it does.
Nate great review and video 👊🏻👍🏻
Appreciate it! Thanks for watching.

Hey my friend. Thanks for watching. I've seen the Recon, but it has never really interested me...perhaps I should take another look.
@@TheBudgetSportsman I'm looking to purchase the Recon this winter. I'll keep you posted. Happy New Year!
Lots like a well-made affordable option!👍
It sure is!

What about Classic2 from Latitude? I did try theirs for rigid in butt/bottom. I can't get used to trusting tether! Lol
I have a review of the classic 2 on my channel. You can check it out. It’s a great, well built saddle.
@@TheBudgetSportsman yeah i saw that. TY
Put one on my Christmas list. 😀
I hope you get one!

That’s great. Enjoy. Just take it slow and start at ground level and you will be fine.
Xop renegade 129.99 all ropes included.
I am looking at getting that one looks like a decent saddle for its price.

Good review. I personally haven’t heard very much about the saddle. Watch those Christmas cookies 😂
Oh I will try but its so hard. The sidewinder is newer on the market but is a great piece of gear.
If it weren't for the "lucky threads," you would've sold me on the sidewinder 🤷♂️
Maybe the owner will use regular, non-enchanted threading...lol
It is called "custom gear modifications" for a reason. I am sure the owner would be happy to use "unlucky" threads just for you.

CMG now offers different belt options that I feel are better options.

CGM is a quality, USA made product backed by solid 3rd party testing. We’re not talking about hawk hammock here.
Mahor price increase, so much for budget friendly
