Thanks for info, really good job. Really looking to get started with saddle so you really give alot of info and great explanation all the options than books again
Awesome review…… last season I seem to hit my shins on the edge of my u.p. a bunch when climbing. Was thinking if the bottom step came out like the U.P. I could avoid popping my shins. I see I’m not the only one with knots !!!! Thanks Spencer
Excellent review as always. I agree the Big Bob is unique and the best. I have not bought one because the price is a turn off. A Big Bob without a cam cleat or a rope is $259 before tax and shipping. It’s the old, “Did you want tires with that car?”
I'm looking at the BIG B.O.B. or the Ultimate One stick by Eastern Woods Outdoors. The BIG BOB is the most likely choice. Which would you pick? Thanks for the video. 😃👍
Great video. Really like your reviews. Question: at the end of the video I noticed you were using what looks like a Black Diamond Carabiner and some kind of orange ring tied into the end of your life line. I see some kind of amsteal prusik knot running from the primary rope to the carabiner. How you running that set up to anchor your life line to the tree? Thx!
Thanks man. I appreciate you watching. That is a large Petzl rappel ring. You just feed a bight of rope through the ring and clip the carabiner into the bight. You’ll notice the carabiner has a short “tether” back to the main line. I clip my pull down rope onto the carabiner and can pull it down but it takes A LOT of force. I’m working on another hitch that releases easier.
It's been about 18 yrs since I've hunted. I just recently took of trad bow hunting and was looking into saddle hunting for public land. If you don't mind apart from the saddle and stick what do I need for one stick method? Thanks for any help you can give. Even if it's a past video. Right now I'm on an info overload 😂
Good review. Thanks. I am very eager to watch your comparison of the OOAL Big Bob vs the EWO Ultimate Platform Ultimate One-Stick (and maybe your comparison will include some other one-stick setups). I currently have and like an EWO UP One-stick, but I need to purchase a second one-stick setup before this season, since I often want to loan sets of kit to family members who occasionally hunt with me but don't yet have their own gear. (I do have a four stick and platform setup that I loaned out to family members last year, but this year I will have two family members hunting with me at the same time, so I want a total of 3 good saddle hunting setups). I am very likely to purchase a Big BOB or a UP (or maybe something else) soon.
I add a ring of steps to my platform or one stick so I can more easily hide behind the tree for a shot. I have found that any standard stick will flex up and make noise when you step off of it . Because of the cam at the top of this stick will it stay in place and not make noise when you step off of it? Please let me know. Thanks for you many great informative videos👍
@24:26 - what pack is that? Very nice review. Only small complaint - I notice the sound when you're outside is pretty good, but the indoor sound is really quiet.
Thanks for the tip. I’ll try to balance them better next time. It is an Eberlestock F1 Mainframe with two batwing pouches. I have a video of it on the channel.
Do you recommend any small minimalist packs that would be slim profile to carry the big bob on but enough room to fit a few heavier layers mainly a jacket say under 1500ci not looking for a frame pack looking at the kuiu 1500divide just don’t know if it would fit through the divide packet.
Outstanding video and review. Being new to saddle hunting and looking at one sticking. What benefit is the small lower platform? Does it help the aider? Does it help with climbing and standing in general? I will be looking forward to you comparing the EWO and BOB later once you have more time with the BOB. Thank you
Great video! Thanks. I'm trying to decide between the UOS UP and the Big Bob. This was helpful. I look forward to your comparison video!
I absolutely enjoy my Big Bob!! It is fantastic !!
Thanks for info, really good job. Really looking to get started with saddle so you really give alot of info and great explanation all the options than books again
Ordered one of these and it just came in. Thanks for helping me spend some money 😆

Awesome demo. Thanks this helped with one stick decision to Yes
Another great review

Did you end up getting the big Bob? If so how do you compare against the Ultimate 1 stick?
I have and love both. Not much of a difference between them. You will be happy with either one.
I like OOAL stuff - just can’t believe how bad their lead times are. May try out the big boy sticks next year

I personally gave up safdle hunting 2 years ago. Staying with sticks and hang ons for now.
I think using one or two squirrel would do wonders for shooting and comfort for big Bob.
Will the Bob platform fit on the eastern woods outdoors one stick?
I run 2 tethers , one I use for a lineman or tether , while moving/repositioning my initial tether up ,
fine i’ll buy it

A little blue loctight on those aider bolts should keep them tight
Good review. Be nice to see how u get down the tree.

I’ve not played around much with packs. I am trying a striker evolution but am not super impressed. I normally use a frame pack.
Have you used the stick from EWO? I’m curious your overall thoughts on that stick. I’m still torn between which to buy.
I will send you a set if you want Would pair good with big bob. Great channel.
Thanks! I would love to check them out. Shoot Me an email at saddlehunting@gmail.com

Thanks man. That lower platform just offers so much more stability when advancing the tether or while climbing.
@@SaddleHunter Thank you for your info. Hopefully you can touch on this more in your future videos. I truly appreciate your reviews
What's up with your bridge, the double prusic?
WHAT'S THE LINK TO BUY, I NEED TO BUY THIS COOL FOLDING.
If I was going to try one sticking, I'm going with the trophy line wingman
Maybe BOB really stands for “Best Of the Best”
Put a little Teflon tape on those aider bolts. That’ll keep them tight.
It is slightly heavier, but it's built on his big boy stick, made for larger hunters. 300+
Is this made in the U.S.A.?
It sure is, made in Oklahoma.
Hey Spencer, what’s going on with your Instagram? It’s not showing you as a user anymore.
I got hacked, trying to get it all sorted out. In the meantime shoot me an email saddlehunting[at]gmail.com
Use some lock rite on the threads of the aider
I just ordered my bob...409
memorial 15 is code for 15% off
