Saddle Hunting - Whats In My Pack
We became saddle hunters to be lightweight and maneuverable. Most of can be categorized as minimalist when it comes to our saddle hunting gear. This video explains what I take to the tree in order to be effective but as lightweight as possible.

    Awesome, this is the same way I want to climb, just need the ladder aider. Are you still climbing this way ? Have you had any kick outs?

  • @SteveLondon_axl

    What is that little ladder called?

  • @mr.skeptical3071
    @mr.skeptical3071 2 роки тому

    I think those aider steps would weigh more than the w.e. steps. The steps are only a pound

  • @paulp.3429
    @paulp.3429 2 роки тому

    I think the quality of the climb and how its in weather like that is fine. But at 40 more pounds in November clothing and rifle season with it being cold. like to see how it would work then.

    I need to do this. My only complaint with my Tethrd phantom is if I wear it in even on short hikes it hurts my hips

    Really informative, i am looking at getting in the saddle and needed some of these pointers, still want to try one out before I pull the trigger on one. Check my channel out if you have a sec! ua-cam.com/channels/T47SKuYRWCPKv_G-fMowqg.html

    • @mr.skeptical3071
      @mr.skeptical3071 3 роки тому

      Wrap tape on each side of the middle, then put your hook in the middle, now it can't slide

  • @michaelp1856
    @michaelp1856 4 роки тому

    Very informative - thanks. I haven't hunted from a tree before - how do you keep mosquitos away? Is there any concern that a repellant would alert the game, or is the theory that they can't smell anything from that high up?

  • @tigertoravajchannel4228

    No where as fast or as easy as using a Summit Viper. Looks like you have about $700 in gear. I will pass.

    • @it_is_finished
      @it_is_finished 4 роки тому

      Walter I don’t use a saddle but I would think the weight (or lack of) is the advantage. The Viper weighs around 20 pounds. I’m betting this guys set up is under half that. So for guys that are walking in long distances I can certainly see why they like it.

  • @_jurist
    @_jurist 4 роки тому

    A little tip for you. Where your ropes are on those Americe step steps is what’s causing your difficulty in getting them to roll over and lock in. Your ropes need to be connected farther over the bend. It’ll save you a little time and frustration.

  • @G2Outdoors
    @G2Outdoors 4 роки тому

    LOVING that little bandit pack. I'm gonna have to look into it. Good breakdown!

  • @neoshooter3187
    @neoshooter3187 4 роки тому

    Very good approach and secured aider! I'm hunting from those steps too and not sure how you hook an aider when go down (!). It's not much place under your feet... Could you please to make video about your descending techneek. Thank you and good luck!

    • @stanvaught5462
      @stanvaught5462 4 роки тому

    why not lineman's climbing boots with the spikes? Is that too dangerous?

    • @davidwarren719

      That damages the trees and are more expensive

  • @benjaminmurray530

    How exactly are you attaching your predator to your mantis as you climb? Is that only being held on by a gear tie?

  • @brysonhollar
    @brysonhollar 4 роки тому

    Do you think one could strap sticks to that pack?

    • @addictedwhitetail2966
      @addictedwhitetail2966 4 роки тому

      Bryson Hollar possibly on the side. I put my sticks in the pack along with my aider and camera gear. Plenty of room

  • @robpoehnelt7220
    @robpoehnelt7220 4 роки тому

    Is that cut sections of inner tube to keep your excess straps wrapped up?

  • @martinezerik9
    @martinezerik9 4 роки тому

    Also, does that hook have the potential to fall off coming back down and how do you successfully hook the aider on while standing on the wild edge step below you . Are you just lowering the hook on the step with the rope connected to you and the aider? Could you show a close up video of your technique?

    • @addictedwhitetail2966
      @addictedwhitetail2966 4 роки тому

      Erik Martinez it has the potential if there’s no weight on it. Once you get your weight on the aider it’s not gunna fall. I have a 6 foot piece of 550 attached to it as well as a dummy cord so I don’t accidentally drop it.

    • @MartinRosendahl
      @MartinRosendahl 4 роки тому

      I agree with all the commenters that want to see some up close detail on the descent. I couldn't figure out from watching that how you get the aider to hook up to the step on the descent

  • @martinezerik9
    @martinezerik9 4 роки тому

    What do you wrap your steps in to avoid metal to metal contact noise?

    • @addictedwhitetail2966
      @addictedwhitetail2966 4 роки тому

      Erik Martinez silent strips or any soft camo tape. The standard outdoor stores usually have some soft tape you can wrap around them.

    How did you attach the sys haulers to the belt?

  • @paulcrave9149
    @paulcrave9149 4 роки тому

    what's the hook you are using to hang your bow? Did I see you used the LB belt to hang your pack?

    • @addictedwhitetail2966
      @addictedwhitetail2966 4 роки тому

      Paul Crave the hook is a standard hook that comes on a rather strap. You can also use a carabiner.

  • @Im.hurtnLinda
    @Im.hurtnLinda 5 років тому

    I put a molle lumbar support on my Mantis. Definitely worth it. The comfort factor is through the roof. Highly recommend.

  • @swalker9482
    @swalker9482 5 років тому

    I like this. I'm still leaning toward one stick and aider though. If I don't like it I might get a few we steps

  • @jamesmarshall5794
    @jamesmarshall5794 5 років тому

    Just an fyi - on the left side of the first step the rope looks like its over the standoff instead of under. That might be the reason it looks like the step keeps wanting to flip back up.

    what do you use to hook up your ader and how do you keep it from sliding.

    • @addictedwhitetail2966
      @addictedwhitetail2966 4 роки тому

      Just a standard hook that comes on a ratchet strap. I have tape on the hook that helps with the grip

    I like your set up, this fall will be my first in a saddle. I will be in a Kestrel and all seems good except for the rope management which brings me to my question; what side bags are you using? Amazon has plenty of bags but most are too small and rigid fabric for mags. If you recall any specifics please add to your gear list. Have a great and safe season. Best regards from Wisconsin
