You can use bicycle inner tube to totally quiet your platform clamp. Slide it over clamp. You will have to make a slit in it so you can push down to loosen.
Just fold up your waistband and use a small zip tie to connect it to the wasteband that is flush with your body and out of the way. That's how I control my extra strapping and it help to not visually lose yourself in all the straps!
I've really enjoyed watching you and your husbands videos and learning more about deer hunting each video. If I may request one thing would be to drop links on the equipment and or gear/ clothing you guys wear and where to buy them at. I have basically copied your setup for the most part because you do an exceptional job on your equipment reviews. You guys are the reason I'm switching to saddle hunting for next season. Thanks and keep making amazing content!
One of the things I did was replace the platform strap with a versa link. It took some practice but the strap is much lighter and silent. The versa link is also so strong that I was able to use it to drag my last year out of the woods with.
That is a really smooth operation. I am definitely going to be getting those sticks. The suspenders for that saddle is in my opinion brilliant. I have be thinking about using a regular set to hold mine up but i just don't put it on until I'm at the tree.
If you tie a bungie cord to the end loop of the platform strap, it will stay tight against the platform. I wrap it so the buckle stays in the front of the platform then extend the bungie to connect to the back right side around the corner. Hope that was clear enough to help
One thing I will say. I always tuck my bridge away while climbing because I've always had issues with it catching on the stick or the versa button while climbing AND descending and it will pull the stick off the tree lol. Iono if it's just my sticks or the way I climb but no kidding if I forget to do it it happens every Damm time haha
Check out the Yak Grips to silence the buckle on the platform. It's like a neoprene sleeve. You just cut it to cover the buckle. You can depress the lever by pushing through the neoprene. When I first started saddle hunting like 5 yrs ago that's what I used for my sticks. I use rope mod now but they worked really good for my old buckles
A piece of bicycle tire innertube over the cam buckle will make it quiet. I started using a back band this year and it makes a big difference in comfort for longer sits having that upper back support.
Well done video, and thanks for sharing your setup. The lock down has been great, especially for one sticking. I keep coming back to Tethrd gear after trying other companies. It just works
This was my first year with saddle (phantom + predetor xl + skeleton stick). This is so nice to be mobile like that! I admit that this model looks really good! Carbon platform will be less noisy in the future. Thanks for the demo and nice explanation!👍
@@BrandonJones-cq7yu it's expensive but it's so practical, secure and it allows you to be mobile quickly to have the wind on the right side. You can use Stealth strip to muffle the sound of each part! I truly appreciate it !
Great video of your setup but I have a tip for you... When attaching your platform strap, make sure that you always run your cam strap buckle away from you around the tree so that it ends with the buckle right in front of your chest/face. This way you are not reaching around the tree in order to cinch up the buckle. An added benefit is that you can pull it so much tighter, when it is directly in front of you, than when it is on the other side of the tree. Keep the videos coming.
Try piece of rubber bicycle tube cut to length and put over the cam buckle on your platform strap. It will help silence it. Also I’d recommend looking into toe hooking your platform and camming it over to set it better.
So I just got all of my saddle set up orders in. Tethrd predator platform, tethrd one sticks, Cruzr XC, Kong ducks, 8 mm ropes, Cruzr back strap. Will be my first time trying the saddle set up. Just had rotator surgery & torn bicep repair 12/5 so it’s going to be a few days before I can practice climbing & setting up. While I’m down for repairs I got some silencing tape on the sticks, bed liner paint on the platform to dampen the noise a little. Still need a 2 step aider, not sure which brand yet. This is going to be a challenge for me at 60 yrs old but being more mobile, quieter, lighter weight has motivated me to give it a try.
Take a look at replacing that cam buckle with the hang free hfas rope or the USA platform rope from EWO. It gets rid of all the metal and imo is safer, amsteel. Other option is to cut a bit of bike tire and put it over the buckle. I am texting this from a tree in my Lockdown saddle right now, as a one sticker this thing is perfect
Hello Allie I’m new to hunting both in general and from a saddle. Got my first Doe with a bow 2 weeks ago. A fix for your clanking cam buckle could be at Hang Free with their full Berry H.F.A.S. It lightweight and uses a Prusek knot, so no noise. Hope this helps.
@@OutdoorsAllie I struggled with the same issue. I tried amsteel daisy chains and versa straps but I like the way the cam buckle locks in the platform. I tried my loop around the versa button loop so I can adjust the buckle to get the bungee at the right spot and it holds it pretty tight. Good luck. Love the channel btw
Try cutting a bike tire innertube to slide over your metal cinch strap buckle like a sleeve. You are still able to operate the buckle but it won't clank.
Great explanation.Wish I was younger.The weight reduction would be great.I would try it due to lugging in stands to do hang and hunts,but better off not at this point.Think it would be hard to get use to some of the awkward shooting positions.
I recently got a ring of steps and running that with a saddle platform, I highly recommended looking into a ring of steps. best of both worlds and a secondary hero clip for bow hanging when one has to move around the tree for a animal that came from the other way, with the ring of steps there is no such thing as a weak side shot and pretty remarkable learning that some saddle experts would never even use a saddle platform but ring of steps only.
@@OutdoorsAllieI got the crantford scaffold and it comes with 4 steps but planning to use like only 3, I also use 8 mm oplux and a f4 device to rappel out and a lot easier in the dark and cold to get back to the ground
Nice set up. I cut all long straps on my saddle and burned the edges to prevent fraying. I put my sticks in my pack and keep my platform on the outside. I need to get knee pads...like NEED! I have not had a need for an aider using 3 sticks. I have longer legs so I am able to increase my stride in between sticks. I use the rubber wire to hold my platform to my pack. I simply attach my platform to the pack when going down.
To prevent the platform strap from clanking, hook the loop over the corner of the platform and tighten it. I keep mine wrapped tighlty around itself with nothing added.
I have s carabiners every couple inches all around my saddle and paracord loops on my sticks, platform, etc. I attach them to saddle individually - I prefer the even weight distribution.
Lastly I take a couple screw in hangers for my bow. use different ones in different scenarios (tree leaning away, toward, lots of branches, no branches, recurve or compound?)
I usually go sunup to sundown so I'll have 2 thermos's, and a water bottle on me as well. One Soup, one Coffee, and one 2L water bottle. (Now this is the weird part, sorry ladies - I also have an old water bladder from a platypus waterback thing... and that is my tree urinal - don't get down, and seals it shut....)
I’ve used the Tethrd platform. Its nice. But I switched to the Seeker by Cruzr, night and day difference. You should try one if you haven’t. Have you considered one sticking and rappelling down? Good job on the videos!
Very nice video, i am just getting into saddle hunting, i have watched numerous videos. I like the 3 or 4 stick method and the one stick method, i didnt see in the video you attaching your main rope, do you use the mad rock to descend down, and do you attach your bow rope to your main rope carabiner so once your on the ground you just give a tug on the bow rope and the rope drops to the ground. I am looking into the tether saddle as well. Any info is much appreciated. Thank you.
I don't use a descending device. I just climb down with my lineman belt. As for my bow rope, I have been using a retractable Muddy rope and it works well.
I like the idea of saddle hunting but being a bigger guy I'd need stronger items, and also being a little shaky unsure of footing I'd probably not start saddle hunting. I have ladder stands, and climbing stands. I might someday try to saddle hunt but stand on a bottom part of a climbing stand.
Awesome video I just ordered the phantom saddle kit from tethrd after watching your video. One question…. I ordered the hsy strap but what do you use to hang your bow and packs on?
Thank you for a good video hopefully a lot of people can benefit from your setup. With the excess strap on your waist & legs have you tried zip ties, tape or even paracord tying them up closer to the end. That way they're out of your way and you don't have to cut them.
Great video, two years of saddle hunting im starting to figure some things out. Im curious on your thoughts on tethrd's new carbon platform? Im of the opinion that "ounces equal pounds"
I’m looking to get into saddle hunting here in south central Ga. How do I know what size saddle will work best for me. I.e. regular or xl. I’m 6’2 190 lbs. I’m a 33 waist size. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated
I’m switching from a climber to a saddle for next season. I’m down to two setups. The same as you both have or the Buzzard Roost with the Latitude Carbon Sticks. Price is a big issue for me. Is there somewhere a guy can get discount codes for the Tetherd set up. I really want to go that direction. Thanks for all your content!! Happy Holidays!!
With a belay device and a rappel rope. You could go the mechanical route or manual route. Mechanical top 2 would be a madrock safeguard or a petzel gri gri plus. Manual you could use a figure 8 or friction hitches with a carabiner
Hello. I have watched tons of saddle videos. I think I’ve got the gist of it. I’m in southeast PA. I’m searching for someone or some place that gives lessons on saddle climbing and different gear. Any body know such a person or institution? Thanks all

I’ve tried saddle hunting for a few years But EV been busted from behind since I don’t have a tree hiding my outline behind me I’ve also gotten twisted up 2x in 2 years on my week side Missed both times Any tips????
Basically copied your whole setup. Been buying bits and pieces for months and finally have everything. I bought the ultra lockdown saddle (same as yours but they had to change the name). So damn disappointed, the sewing is complete garbage! The stitching is coming out in multiple places and I’ve never even used it yet, and I won’t be using it. The sticks and platform look alright. I’ll be searching for a different brand as far as the saddle goes. Brand new ultra lockdown in the trash can. Edit: tethrd took care of me without hesitation. Big thanks to them. Went out today for my very first hanging. Not going to lie, pretty terrifying the first time going up. Second time felt a little better. Gonna need a lot more practicing before I really feel comfortable.
@@OutdoorsAllieI sent them two emails, but I doubt I will hear anything back from them. Sent the first email, then I noticed more problems with it. Sent a second email and I wasn’t too nice. Should have calmed down a little before the second email haha. Just pisses me off that I saved money to buy all this “top of the line” gear and then get a saddle that’s falling apart.

Replace the buckle strap with a rope, there are rope mod videos out there or use an amsteel daisy chain. Both silent options
Very informative video, thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
I attached a loop of Bungee to the end of the cam strap loop. Then you can stretch that strap and lock it into the platform. No more clanking
I've been thinking about something like that!

I haven't tried one sticking yet but I might one day.
Ranger band the extra strap length
It's a military harness set up
One sticking is the only way, when you know you know.
Only compliant about my one sticks is how loud they are. I've wrapped them but they still clank on everything they touch.
