This is a great stand, period! It's lightweight, climbs easy ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxlQ7TDIrnnSXXbRgFFaxqwullRJJIuYAs and feels solid while in the tree. The seat is easy to fold up for climbing and sits comfortably for long days in the woods. The only downside I have is that it might be too comfortable, but I like napping in the tree anyway. This is the second Summit Viper I have owned. The old one is steel making it heavier, but this aluminum version is about 9-10 lbs lighter. I recommend buying a better fall harness as the one included is clunky and not super comfortable. I think it will work fine if you NEED to use it, but there are lots of other more comfortable options out there.
That teach under rope over the shoulder was pure tree saddle jiu jitsu magic truly a killer tip. Great job guys
Love watching you guys it’s more enjoying seeing guys working for there harvest vs sitting over a bait pile on a 2,000 acres farm been going through and watching all your episodes from last year good luck everyone this fall and be safe
Guys.... I really really appreciate this video. I just shared it with 2 people.
Nice job guys. We use Tethered Mantis and Aerohunter Flex . We also use the DRT climbing method to access our trees. Which makes are run and gun setup extremely lightweight. As always you guys put out awesome content. The Saddle hunting craze is getting bigger by the day . It’s gonna be a fun season . Best of luck to you all !!!
One thing I noticed on my Mantis saddle (must have been manufactured wrong) is the leg buckles are facing both in the same direction. Not a big deal but it definitely kinda rubbed me the wrong way, hope the guys from tethrd notice this and up the QC. This will be the first year in a saddle for me and looking forward to the mobility and ease of use for mobile hunting. Lots of benefits for the mobile hunter in my mind. Thanks for the great videos THP and keep them up.
I listened to your podcast for the first time on Spotify yesterday. Randomly clicked your video today, just to find out I was already subscribed! Lol Awesome content! This convinced me to get a saddle
I just bought a climber ! Lol should of got the saddle
I love these guys. It would be awesome to have hunting friends like they do
Just waiting on mine to come in mail! So excited to start saddle hunting!
Lol! Listen to all of the spoiled hunting JUNKIES. One would think Bow Hunters would be patient. I’ll admit, I’m excited to see the next episode.
Not me, I'm blocking this channel!
I'm a believer... This old man just learned a new trick. Ordering my rig right away. Thanks guys !!!
Some of you guys need to give them a break!!! The struggle is real sometimes in the real hunting world 🤷♂️ Great saddle video. I only wish I knew someone that had one so I can try it.
I agree. Im interested but want to try it.
Damon Garrett I only hunt private during prime time. Public is very tough hunting and challenging.
Damon Garrett come try that in Texas. I knocked on doors, called, and sent letters to a total of more than 300 property owners for a grand total of 0 permission. Texas is a pay to play state, because landowners understand someone in the state would be willing to pay for the access you asked for for free.
Isaac Barnett Kansas is just as bad... $1500 is average and up !
Tim Miller yep, $1500 is a VERY low priced lease here in Texas. That’s why I only hunt public. I’d rather hunt all over than share 100 acres with 3 other guys for $1000 a piece!
Always learning something from you guys. As soon as I got a saddle i came to y’all’s channel because I knew there would be a “how to”
That was pretty comprehensive, as always thanks for sharing. Good luck on the deer tour!
I used to climb trees in a tree service and and the "Bridge" type scenario would be a cable. For us big guys cables would be safer
Arborist here, for those using a prusik on your lanyard system and sick of using two hands, throw a fixed pulley on the underside of the prusik, and it’ll act as your second hang! 😉
Do you have a link to what I'm supposed to be looking for to learn how to do this? Please
@@Patrician9000just need a regular pulley. If you look up Horch climber pulley system, or a VT hitch system, you should get some videos or pictures of what to do!
Awesome video guys. I felt bad for asking what the brand was bc I couldn't figure out what it was but clearly y'all have been bombarded with questions on this system. Look forward to the 2nd clip thanks for the info guys and keep living " the dream" literally.
I understand the concept, especially if hunting on public land. But I can have my hang on setup in 20 minutes prior to when I actually want to hunt and climb up in it within 1 min.
G and T Outdoors then you’re stuck hunting that spot...
Yeah, how many treestands do you want to buy?
One saddle
Or 10 stands (depending on how many places you have to hunt)
Still can’t sit a crooked tree in a hang on easily or efficiently 😉
That's just one tree. It's about mobility.
I got my Tethrd Mantis ordered last week. Literally cannot wait for it to get here!!! Really hoping it shows before the rut!
Thanks for the video! Been looking at Tethered for a couple of weeks. Any way you guys can convince them to do a coupon code?
Do yourself a favor, Go Aero hunter. much much better. And wayyyyy b4 tethrd
grizzle777 with a 10 week lead time...
Tethrd is much better and lighter
@@vinnygrass7 what makes it better?
@@vinnygrass7 I kinda feel like if I was going to go the route of the Aero I would just use my old tree climbing saddle. The Tethered system seems to be a much lighter and easier system to deploy. Everyone has their preferences. I have spent many hours researching through videos and articles. Tethered seems like the way I want try.
I’ve been saddle hunting for quite a while. There are some huge benefits. One thing not mentioned here is that the tree is always hiding you from the coming deer. I use 2 sticks at the hunting height so I can slide around and hide from the deer no matter the direction. These movements can be done so quiet it’s crazy. I would recommend the JX3 if you are worried about all day comfort. You can nap in that thing
Awesome tutorial guys!! Good tips and tricks for those who might be considering the saddle waters.
I hope this is not a reflection of how things are going on the tour! Hope you guys are safe and hunting
Got us! My brother appreciates this particular footage though. Good timing as he is switching to a saddle. Good luck in ND!
As an arborist and hunter, this is SO much fun to watch
Lol, yeah give this a once over since you're an arborist. Plz comment ua-cam.com/video/gwRQDcez63Y/v-deo.html
I like to hang my pack on basically another tether. I keep a prusik on it with a small carabiner and leave my pack down below my feet. Gives me 360 degree maneuverability.
When is Part 2 coming out?
Great video I’m looking forward to saddle hunting most of the time this year
Thank you guys for these videos. Answered a ton of questions I had and made me even more excited to start the saddle adventure!!
what are the bags hes got attached to his pack? and how do you attach the climbing sticks to the predator pack?
I don't see how this could be any easier then a climber my summit I have it set up to were when I get to the tree I undo a rope put the cables around the tree an climb few minutes I'm set up an ready an it's light to carry
Excellent info. Got my saddle and ready to go
How effective would this be for elk hunting?
Great video! I have switched to saddle hunting this year and I am chomping at the bit to be in the tree next week here in Missouri! Super excited to get that first opportunity at a deer out of the saddle!
Any discount codes for Tethrd saddles? Trying to justify..
It’s worth it discount or not. I to the leap last year halfway through season and I sold my climber stand about 2 weeks after… it’s great
@@stuntcsra2252 it's been 4yrs.. 🤣 I got a phantom and used for 2yr but hip pinch was bad, now using a Cruzer XC and it's so much better
How do you carry the platform, sticks and your camera gear when you are self filming?
I’m looking to get into saddle hunting and want to get a pack that will hold the platform and camera gear (G30 camera, arm & gopros).
I know I'm late to the party, but I there a kit that has everything Ernie has shown or is it a piece together type deal?
Aaron it’s 12/9/2022, I’ll bet your 3-4,000,000 questions you’ve gotten about saddle hunting isn’t far from accurate by now? Haha. Thank you all for making this video. When I watched this years ago it was a little confusing, but now I swing around like a monkey in a saddle. Thank you guys.
At $500+ for the system, that is crazy expensive!
$500 once. It's $500 dollars for one system that you can set up and use on hunt day from any tree you'd be able to put a stand in. Stands get bulky. You usually have to pack them in and set them up before hunt day and even if you can pack them in day of they're too much of a pain in the ass to move to change your mind. If you hunt public land and you have to leave them up they're a liability. They can get stolen, lost, and you have to remove them and set them up every season.
I'd much rather pay $500 for this one system then pay even $100 each for even 2 or 3 regular stands. The extra $$$ is paying for the luxury of having a truly portable hunting platform that works in literally any tree you could hunt and better in trees that a regular stand would be a pain in the ass to set up or even impossible.
My understanding is you don't want to overhunt a stand. If you never get in the habit of setting up complicated stands and blinds you're not beholden to use locations that may not be your best spot on hunt day.
I can totally see where having a very portable system like this would be a HUGE advantage by allowing you to change plans with the season as needed rather than to spend a crapload of time setting up a stand you're forced to use in conditions that don't make it a good spot.
Last way to look at it, how much did you spend on your bow and what's you're average killshot distance with it? If you're in a wooded area probably 20-30 yards or less unless you're just bragging. Anyway, most archery classes say 40 yards and no further. Do you know how many bows you can find that cost less than $500 that will shoot accurately at 30 yards? The answer is LOTS and LOTS of bows will shoot that well for $250 but I bet you spent extra $$ to feel confident that you could make those shots.
Well... This is a stand that costs more but will allow you to get where you need to be. No excuses, you can get there. All that money spent on that bow is going to shooting foam in the backyard unless you can get to where you need to be. So flipped another way, I'd buy a shitty used bow that can get me to 30 yards and spend the extra $$$ on a stand that will give me a target rather than spend big bucks on my bow to feel nice but on hunt day get stuck in a terrible location where I don't see diddily.
$500 for a full set up ready to go? I'll buy it all week long.
If you set up on the cheap, add your costs season to season, piece by piece. It will be more.
tethrdnation.com/shop/
FYI, a setup is not $500
Yeah honestly you could just get a rock climbing harness grappling hook and save yourself like 400$
It's absolutely crazy how much equipment is involved to get up the tree before you even look at any of your hunting equipment where does it end it's supposed to be an ultralight system by the time you're done carrying all your hunting stuff and that you may as well just take a deer stand
I'm stoked! Mine should be here this week 🤘
After hunting out of it this weekend, I'm even more stoked. This is what I've needed for E TN, and I'll be happy to use it wherever I go.
The whole tether system these guys make is really cool and well thought out... but good grief it gets expensive in a hurry. all the stuff he is wearing here retails for over $500. For that price you could buy 2 really nice climbing stands or 2 really nice hang ons and a good set of sticks and probably still have some left over
I bought my saddle about ten years ago. Still as good as the day I bought it. You only need one saddle.
Excellent video gave me lots of ideas cheers
Excellent video. Thank you !!
The only thing that’s different is the platform. Otherwise it’s climbing sticks and a lineman‘s belt. If the harness is comfortable, then it looks like a decent system but you still got to carry sticks in.
Wish I could spend a day sharing story's and learning from you folks
Start a channel and do it!!!!
Let’s do this !!! Why can’t we my friend!! I’m divorced and feel in love with my bow hahaha seriously if I could get a group and do similar deal hell yes I would !!!
@@Tattooedharvester1983 that would be really cool and I plan on having a similar thing with some guys at some point!!! But that still a few years off for me I'm 17 so still not to that point yet
What state are you in I'm in Bama
Travel hunt , shoot deer , turkey , elk , have fun meet people man what a dream I’m actually pretty into tournament shooting I should be in Vegas for the shootout this weekend I shoot Mathews
@@Tattooedharvester1983 I haven't done much tournament shooting yet but again something else I plan on getting into
That's definitely my dream lifestyle my cousin and I talk about doing it a lot
I've been using a saddle for 20 years. Pair of climbers and a saddle no tree is to big. No highth is unattainable. There so comfortable. Perfect set up for bow and gun. I can climb any tree and be hunting in 5 min...
How do you climb?
@@thehunterspushstixs7940 tree climber made by Klein
So it pretty much allows you to pick a tree wherever and get in it verses a tree stand thats in one spot and setup once
Makes it look so easy,. Any chace of falling, ? Strangling from the straps around your legs. Being hung in the tree, like the idea of the saddle stand, but my age, 76 like to hunt from the ground, and if i fall, its only a shot drop. Lol , be safe.
so does the saddle and tree tether take the place of something like a tree rope or lifeline rope?
I’d really like to see some footage of Greg shooting trad from the saddle. Curious how difficult it is to shoot a 58-64” trad bow with that system. Only reason I haven’t taken the leap and bought one.
Mike Ralston lots of trad guys over on saddlehunter.com
Do they ever have discounts on these
I’m wondering what pound bow you can pull leaning out. I can see 50 lb maybe but a heavy pound bow, 70 lb, you need good footing, let off helps of course, but you need to stay behind the tree or a good buck will see you if you are hanging out in full view, THEY DO LOOK UP
So awesome! Have to give that a try! Love my Summit Viper it will always be my fav!
I hunted from a goliath for years. I sold it last year and couldn't be happier about it.
@@thehunterspushstixs7940 right on I just try to keep doing what works for me
What are the diy backpack straps. Are what is method to attaching other straps. Please and thank you
My eyeballs felt like they stuck out of my head when I seen you’re loading another sweet episode!!!!!!!! 👁👁THP on the 🧠🦌👊🏻
Lets see how a crossbow hunter can use this set up? Just found this video, great info!
Oh it works
Well I fell 20ft on Saturday due to a broken ladder strap. Chilling with a broken leg trying to figure out a more secure way to do this stuff. What lineman strap is being used in this video?
Love the spin tip at the end! What do you use to hang your bow on the strap? I usually just hold onto mine on public land in a stand but in the saddle I think I might want to be able to hang it up.
What kind of bow holder do you guys use on that equipment holder?
Ive really really wanted to try this system this fall. Ive watched 4 different vids. Maybe I am a wimp but it still seems very confusing to use safely. Im very interested in it though
Thomas Anderson go on Saddlehunter.com (from a PC, the map works better that way) and look for the thread titled “saddle hunter google map” click the link and see if anyone is close to you. You may find someone nearby willing to show you their system.
If I can figure it out, anyone can - Jake
Tree saddle demo?! Trying not to be irritated ha....
Yea same here. Do this kind of video in the off season
That’s a great video I was thinking about getting one but I’m not sure what to get and what’s actually reliable. I’ve been hunting for 35 years with hang on and ladders stands. Where can I purchase the setup that he was using?
@ 71 years old I'll take my Summit Goliath climber over the rope system. Those preferring the Saddle system touche, but being safe and the ease of using a climber is my way.
I'm 53 and have slipped down, feel over sideways (trying to shoot down over the side, cause the deer came in while I was sitting) dropped the bottom (took me 20 minute to work it back up the tree while I was sitting feet dangling holding on with one hand and pulling with the other, because when you pull up with the tether it just hangs up. I've scared more deer out of the woods with that thing, enough to fill a stadium. Well I could go on but you know.
Although effective like tree stands and bait stations
Hunting is the PURSUIT of game
Seems like more of a pain in the ass than anything. Pivot here, pivot there, move this, move that...... yeah no thanks.
My first few times sucked, but now it is absolutely fantastic. Not just about this method, it is that this method allows 50-100 different places that can be hunted instead of the one or two places with a hang-on, a ladder stand, or requiring a perfectly straight tree with no branches for a climber. I've seen more deer on the public land this year and last year than the previous 5 years combined.
@@LouStoriale I’m right there with you. I was a diehard Summit climber guy. Now I’m a saddle guy. I practiced with mine the summer I got it & by hunting season my process was smooth. I can get in way my trees with the saddle then I ever could my Summit & that’s the reason I get more deer within range. I guarantee that guys that talk shit on this system would absolutely fall in love with it after trying it. #SaddleGang 🦌🦌
Interesting wonder how it would work with a crossbow
Oh yeah, I hunt with one.
What is the orange accessory called that is used to tighten/loosen your lineman’s rope and tether?
Great vid, and a lot of good info. Really enjoyed it!
Great vid and super helpful. This is literally the video I’ve been waiting for. Ever since reading Eberhart’s books I’ve wanted to try a saddle system but just haven’t committed yet. 2 Questions:
1- are Tetherd’s systems endorsed by the TMA? If not can you or they explain why not?
2- how important are the knee pads and what do you look for in a pair?
I’m in year 2 of saddle hunting. I (you) def need to get knee pads!
What is tma?
I am so ready for my saddle to come in!!!!!
Could us a micro pulley behind the prusik. Then you could use one hand ascent and descent . Way safer!
Do those little locks he has on his ropes come with a saddle?
Just finished all your turkey vids ( love em btw ) ...oh n you'd never get my old broken ass in one of these things
How do you handle being a sweaty mess after you’ve made it to the top?
Sweet,excellent video
I would really love to try saddle hunting but between believing I'm too heavy and the price to try, I think I'll be hunting again with my Summit Titan. Still enjoy the content and video, though, as saddle hunting really does intrigue me.
ya not to heavy bro
I'm a big boy too. I sold my goliath last year. See how a bigger boy does it. Oh, it's way better, more comfy, easier, and QUIETER. ua-cam.com/video/gwRQDcez63Y/v-deo.html
I've been eagerly waiting for a new video and I must say I'm disappointed this was the content. This seems like the type of gear video you guys would do in the offseason. If you are on a deer tour, I'd say your viewers would prefer to see deer hunting.
So are you basically standing the whole time? Is the platform just for you to stand on or is there a situation where you sit on the platform?
Quick question, instead of setting it on the ground and stepping into it. Risking stepping on it getting it dirty ect... why not just slip it over your head?
That could probably work too. I guess we just don't mind if they get dirty.
@@TheHuntingPublic I hunt in mud and water a lot so it gets more than just dirty. I love mine and glad to see you guys using one. I still use my lock on also, if you guys would try a rock climbing harness with your lock on it would allow you to shoot the same angles as the saddle. Thanks for the video's!
Is it possible to shoot a rifle out of a saddle? and can you buy this product through Amazon? Can I still use my muddy harness along with a saddle while hunting?
so maybe I'm dumb, but how do you incorporate a safety harness? Surely this Tetherd saddle is not the only fall arrest system in place?? I'm curious to see the whole setup with a safety harness. Would there be 2 tree tethers??
The system IS the safety harness.
@@Schnot it just didn't look like enough
Thanks I've been waiting for another video.
Are the 2 clamps he used to adjust the Lineman's rope and the theater part of their system? if not where can I get it?
What is that rope released thing your buddy got I’m try to buy that for a saddle set up
Great video 😊
To expensive and my tree stand way easier
I like a climber stand for the solid ground platform. I can shoot standing on what feels like the ground.
The cost of this system is the biggest road block for me. Well over $600 for this setup here, plus a climbing method! Just can't justify that price tag yet. Hopefully prices will come down as they streamline manufacturing and material costs.
Love you guys, but wtf?!?! Way to leave us hanging. Must be slow hunting! Best of luck! Looking forward to the No Dak update...
@Non Typical Of course!
Don’t sleep on the Arcteryx knee pads. They are dope 💪🏻
Need to have a backup for that Ropeman… I wouldn’t trust that hanging on my tether with no redundancy
Please post the name of the piece of equipment he uses instead of a prusic knot. I cannot find it on their website or other rock climbing sites.
Not sure how i'm to get 22ft in the air with this set up?Also you don't have a safety vest and rope tie off.
Informative video great job but no thanks I prefer my ladderstands I prefer to sit and have the option to stand if needed. I can set my ladderstand up just as fast.
Overall actually pretty cool but I just couldn't imagine going in the woods when it's 30° outside with a bunch of bulky hunting clothes on trying to fiddle with all of them ropes and gadgets when your fingers are half frozen. Traditional tree climbers just seem so so so much easier and more simple
OK, I NEED TO KNOW.... WHAT ARE THE WEIGHT LIMITS ON SADDLE AND THE PLATFORM? I'M a big boy an ain't skeered to try new things.
I’m not convinced... this seems way more complicated than it needs to be. I’m sure once you did it multiple times it would be a piece of cake but this just seems like one more thing to get frustrated with in the woods.
It doesn't take long to get it down
the dude w the blue shirt and no hat looks just like Dwight from The Office. lol
Well played, well played.
Has anyone tried using the bottom of a climbing stand instead of using sticks or screw in spikes?
Can you use boot gaffs for climbing? Instead of sticks or pegs?
