I've done tree work and a lot of the mechanical stuff is great for making a day easy but for saddle hunting grateful I learned from old school guys who use to climb trees just with a rope. Super quiet. Good video be safe guys. Don't take much to kill or hurt you real bad. I've known a few.
Cool, as long as you have the rope doubled over through a crotch, might as well hitch on a foot loop on a Garda hitch along with two ascender hitches on each side of the rope and it becomes a double stationary rope technique and you have no rope grinding into the tree, really easy climb method, or you could set a friction saver, cambium saver leather sheath and save your rope from getting dirty and worn…. But that is a nice method. Since I go into new areas scouting and chasing the bucks often, I use the jrb hitch climbing method, maverick hitch and a 20 ft pole. You might not like carrying a pole, that’s what I thought at first, but after carrying a 5-20 ft pole, I can get up in ANY tree in ANY area I like. And the pole works great as a walking stick, snake stick, pruner ( swap the rope hook for a saw blade) as well as rope setting, retrieval device . I never go in the woods without my pole nowadays. I’ve tried 2TC , worked on various set ups, which I like but it is a bit tougher and takes longer for me. DRT, DSRT, MRT, SRT, hitch climbing, stick climbing, climber stand climbing, ladder stand climbing , LOL. Am 68 and hunted all my life, also a fan a stalking and sitting on a log! But lately saddle hunting and hitch climbing is my favorite.
Super simple. Thanks for the demo! I'm going to be using this foot loop method from now on. Less exertion than the hip thrust, especially with a pack on. Happy Hunting!
I gave you a sub for this video alone! So well done and easy to understand.... I wish the rest of the TH-cam outdoor world would be like this and not trying to create a Hollywood movie!!!!!!!!!!
Great tutorial. I’d definitely add a piece of hardware to connect the rope to your bridge though…. That smaller diameter bridge could cut/ saw through the climbing rope. I’m an arborist and we try to avoid any soft connection points like that…. Especially if it were moving because a small diameter rope can saw through material so fast.
I love this method, so much better, safer, lighter, easier than sticks. I do not like hunting from a saddle so instead I ascend with my LoneWolf and sit that. And for a self tending Blake, I use a paracord Prusik and a 1$ carabiner. Absolutely love it.
@@Crayz919 Backpack straps on my lone wolf. I use it as a framepack for my daybag. I DRT up the tree as seen in the video. And instead of putting on a ring of steps or hunting platform, I fasten my hang on stand and sit in that. And as for a self tending knot, Paracord with a $1 carabiner. NY Saddle Hunter show it in their videos.
Great video, I have zero experience climbing with a rope. im going to start practicing so what if i have a 50 foot tree with no branches except at the very top? in other words i cannot reach any branches, watching your video again
@@perryfrazeoutdoors8019 yeah i will work it out I appreciate the advice and heck even the reply hopefully we will have a video up soon of the experience.
Your example was perfect, really seen how too tie that Blake's hitch, where did you get your climbing rope and how many feet and what kind. Thank you for this awesome example 👏
Thanks. I got my rope from Wespur. It is called Predator rope, I bought 80’, but don’t think I need that much. I hunt with traditional archery and hunt a little lower in cover for a better shot angle usually.
@@perryfrazeoutdoors8019 thank you , only thing I couldn't really tell is on your decent back down can't tell what you do with the Blake's hitch, you said you squeeze it or do you canter it or maybe on another video really show us what to do like on tying your Blake's hitch , because of you I have the best mental picture of that knot 🪢 so far , so should I order the westspur kit for drt so I get throw ball and did you cutt your rope at 80 ft. Thank you my man I'm excited
@@outdoorsman9384 I’m not sure what’s in the drt kit at Wespur. I do have a throw ball and I use it in conjunction with my paracord. You just need to decide which best suits your needs. Perhaps I will do a more in depth video of how I use the Blake’s hitch. Best of luck to you
@@perryfrazeoutdoors8019 at westspur they have a drt hunting climbing kit for 145 dollars for 80 ft of rope , throw ball , and throw ball pop up bag and a Carabiner , the boys from NY Saddle Hunter set this up with westspur, check them out on internet, I learned a bunch from them too, but what you showed me on your climbing technique was the answer I was looking for , thanks again
@@outdoorsman9384, I just looked, you can get a throw ball and 80’ of rope for $100 and a little change. You just need to decide which is the best deal for you. Personally, I just use para cord instead of a throw line. But everyone has different preferences.
im getting back into saddle hunting again and like your method of climbing. What rope diameter and type are you using in this video? Also what length do you suggest? Thanks!!
I used a small throw bag (check your arborist supply) on this setup, but anything that will add weight to your line will work. Good luck this season. Thanks for watching
I bought 80’ but that proved to be too much. You just need enough to go up and over the limb at hunting height and back down plus about 8’ to tie your rigging. So it just depends on how high you plan on hunting. Best of luck
I would say it would be, nobody taught me how to do it., just watched some TH-cam videos. Practice at the ground and make sure you are confident in your setup before climbing up. Proceed at your own risk. Good luck
The length of rope depends on how high you hunt, you need double the hunting height, plus 6’-8’ or so for this method . That being said, I usually carry around 45’. Yes, it’s basically up over a crotch in the tree and back down. I use Samson Predator Rope 8mm that I got from Wespur.com . I hope this helps. Stay safe and good luck.
Awesome video!!! What safety rating would you give this set up out of 100 for the average climber? Im practicing this to try outdoors for the first time. I don't have too much experience climbing with ropes but I do bouldering with crash pads.
Personally, I feel it is pretty safe. With other DRT systems you have ascenders that can fail. Using this method, you are only using the rope. If you are using a good, climbing rated rope, and inspecting it before each use, I believe that this method is very safe. With that being said, there is a chance that you could tie your blake's hitches incorrectly or throw your rope over a branch that may not hold your weight. When climbing, there will always be a risk. My advice to you is to not do this method if you aren't confident in your abilities or feel that it is unsafe. Best of luck to you!
To sit on a tree in this type of system, you need 3 things-a wide board under the ass, a wide belt and a foothold is desirable. Then you can sit as long as you want, even sleep on a tree. I have such a system, but I climb with the help of two garrotes along the trunk of a tree using the chest-leg system as if on a rope.
I use the 2TC sometimes, and do really like a RIGID saddle, board under the ass, with webbing attached like the bridge of a saddle. Very comfortable. My 2TC system has evolved into a foot loop on each tether rope, tether ropes are actually doubled 8mm arborist rope, so I am using a running eye hitch actually, the uppermost rope has three ascender hitches on it that are adjustable- top one for my saddle bridge if I climb with it or the board you mention, middle one for a thigh leg loop, and bottom one for a foot loop; the other tether rope has two ascender hitches one for a short redundant bridge, and the bottom one for a foot loop. I can climb tied in at all times when moving tethers up or down with very little slack at any time. I have found that the leg loop helps me get tension on my top tether quickly as I move it up, and then the foot loop under it allows me to stand erect close to the tree as I raise the bottom tether. Of course then I put weight on that bottom foot loop, stand up and slide up the top tether advancing up the tree. Check out Scott Atkins, that guy climbs like a sloth with his 2TC rig, looks slow and easy but he can get up a 50 ft tree in 2-3 minutes, amazing. Oh, check out jrbtreeclimbing.com for those ascender hitches, no metal, slide up easy and grab with weight, but can be tended with the rope, and get bread easily for back up with rappelling
@@kennethrogers1129 I climb in a different way, the climbers call the chest-leg method only not on a rope but on a tree instead of a rope using a knot garrote. I'm going down the same way.Not so fast, but you don't need to hang a thin rope first, you just go up to the tree and climb.
What type of limbs do you look for for best climbing, do thay have to be straight out or can you use 45 degrees angle limbs or will it jam in narrow crotch
After you tie into your tether do you then have to untie both of the blake hitches from the climbing rope to store it? And then when you are ready to come down do you re tie the 2 Blake hitches in order to rappel? Im.trying to understand the process.
I actually just leave everything attached as is but I put slack in it and use as a secondary safety. I then coil my remaining rope up and store in my pack until I’m ready to repel down. I hope this helps
@Perry Fraze Outdoors aha. Very cool. I figured something like that. I like the simplicity and more so the lack of metal. Thanks for sharing. Perhaps someday you can share a video of your full setup. Climbing, setting in and rappelling down. Thanks
@@neanderthalnonsense check out my other saddle hunting videos.. Saddle hunting, tips and trick th-cam.com/play/PLPkx_XnESm8ea5_hTogHnDTcW8ljVlx9j.html
I had the same question about what to do with the climbing rope when you're using a different tether. I was thinking of using a carabiner to attach the predator rope to the bridge and then unclipping it from your bridge when not in use. Thoughts?
How long do you use what I assume is predator rope? Like, without it having defects from normal use that retire it, is the a rule of thumb you go off to just replace the rope bc of age of use?
My advice would be to inspect your equipment before and after every use and replace when it shows wear. That being said, I’m on my second year with this rope but I don’t use this as my primary climbing method. Good luck this season
I don’t always use a separate tether, I have hunted from the climbing rope, however, you will find that tether height has a lot to do with comfort while hunting. Sometimes you need to adjust the height to improve comfort or reduce hip pinch. You can’t do that with your climbing rope that is draped over a limb.
If you preset your paracord, then that shouldn’t be an issue. If you do run into that problem, just tether in with your tether, then untie rope, move around limb, re-tire rope, un-tie tether and resume climbing. Either that or you can pay attention how you rig your rope to start with. Hope this helps.
Curious what length of rope it takes for this method? Would you suggest 1.5x hunting height or 2x hunting height? Would love to work on using it this season.
My rope is 80’ but that’s over kill. I could get by with half that I am guessing. I usually try to hunt in plenty of tree cover and stay in the 15-20’ range. The higher you hunt, the more rope needed
I am looking at going to saddle hunting and have been watching many videos on saddle hunting. I am astounded at what some people will do to not to hunt out of a climber or for that matter enen pack a climbing stick or two. SMDH!
@@perryfrazeoutdoors8019 Thank you and in response to your video, It is definitely something I would do if I were younger. Also, I am blessed physically.
