For hunting info I have 2 "most trusted" YT subscriptions: you, and "Sean's Outdoor Adventures". I really appreciate that you both give SO much to bowhunting. Thanks very much.
I realize it's quite off topic but does anybody know a good site to watch newly released series online ?
@Briar Kashton i use Flixzone. Just google for it :)
@Alex Ernest Yea, I've been watching on Flixzone for months myself =)
@Alex Ernest Thank you, I signed up and it seems like a nice service =) I really appreciate it !!
@Briar Kashton glad I could help xD
also my first year in the saddle, you put out a excellent video good info thanks
Great video Jack. Looks like you covered just about everything.
Bro - I like your videos. To the point, simple, educational. Thanks for the info.
Love it, very well explained as usual!
Excellent demo. Very helpful!
Great content Average Jack! Looking forward to see more of the tethrd phantom!
Good video. Just caught your chat with Garrett enjoyed that too.
My bank account hates you for making this video.
One of my biggest issues with the saddle is the tether being in the way if a deer comes from the "wrong" side. Pivoting makes more sense than trying to go over the tether. I also saw a Tethrd video where they went under the tether with their bow and turned away from the tree to make their shot. Good stuff.
Good video, great info and arborist always use 2 pts of contact. Even if you want to leave your linemen belt attached it's OK if it makes you feel safer.
Perfect explanation…great idea secondary fall protection
Great job presenting the saddle hunting method. You covered everything needed to get started. I got my Mantis saddle for Christmas 2019. Getting ready for next season. I will refer my hunting buddies to this video as I try to convert them.:-)
Thank you! And best of luck this upcoming season hunting from one!
Good video! I started saddle hunting this past year also, thanks for showing a solid technique on the weak side - I'm going to practice that pivot. I backup my bridge with my linesman belt also, but I tie in above my ropeman 1, which causes me to make my linesman longer than my bridge, but surprisingly it never got in the way.
That pivot was a game changer for me this year and I ended up shooting all my deer on my weak side. Talk about chaos! And thanks for the tip on the lineman's double line!
great job brother, appreciate the take
Excellent overview of the saddle system. I would love one, I have some ideas 💡 on places where that would be beneficial. I just don't have the $350-$500 for a complete Tethrd system. Hopefully I can get one by this upcoming summer so I can practice with it.
Of course I just bought a climber and now I'm seeing all sorts of information on this from the tethered gang and Ebert and you do and I've already got a climber and three hang on to complete with strap-on climbing sticks how many stands does a guy need and got a converted ladder stand I made into a platform. Really good video thanks
Great video for a new saddle hunter. Thanks
Great video Nate!
THP recently posted a couple of videos with the guys from Tethrd. He demo'd a neat little wrap around move the gets you 360° and super stable
Great video, thanks for your time and all the info. That river reminds me of the river in the Fugitive with Harrison Ford in the escape scene.
"I didn't kill my wife..."
"I. Don't. Care."
@@averagejackarchery LMAO! Glad you got the reference.
Great video.a lot of information.
Great video mate
Well whatever company product you have there really needs to pay you a fee BECAUSE this is the most detailed video on tree saddle use. I'm sure you have saved many people a lot of trial & error. 👍👍
Thanks for the detailed synopsis.
Most welcome!
Mountaineering always calls for second caribiner w sep line as safety if that seat fails. Probably best to a chest harness
Man I really like this and I wanna try it. The idea of just picking a tree...any tree. I saw that buck 50 yards out of range three days in a row, I gotta get over there. But I mostly am hunting private land and have 3 good spots that I have set up already in the spring. So I’m not used to carrying climbing sticks and setting up the way public land guys do. Idk how they can get in there and set up all that shit and not make any noise. Like those hunting public guys...they’re using the saddle now and they’re having great success. Idk maybe I’ll try it too.
I just got my saddle and this video is great! One question, where did you get your knee pads? I didn't see them in your gear list. Thanks and God bless!
Lowe's! Simple rubber coated-ish style. Very comfortable. About $15.
12min - smart man!
Good video.
Still learning the "ropes" so to speak. I come back to this video each time I have a problem to solve. However, one thing that I have trouble with is the tether height and slippage until I am fully ready to shoot. If I relieve the tension it just wants to slide down. I have an abundance of Poplar trees and they do have a relatively smooth bark so it may be something I just need to work with. Any suggestion on stabilizing the tether prior to full usage would help.:-)
Working on the drop shot and leaning trees. Strong side is great both sitting and leaning. Weak side will be next up. Your knee pivot method has helped me get to the weak side...now I need to make the shot.
Thanks again for your clear and concise instructions. You are a great teacher on line and I am sure your in class students enjoy you too.

Try running the tag end of your tether and the carabiner two times through the loop on the end of your tether. This locks it into place.
@@robpoehnelt7220
Thanks Rob. I'll give that a try today! Sounds like it should do the trick for the tether.👍
I do run the tag end of my linesmen rope through the carabiner and pull the tag side to shorten the rope. Takes the place of the ropeman1 for one handed adjustments.:-)
Thanks again Rob, It did the job & tether stayed put! :-)
How do you climb the tree
Iv been watching all your saddle hunting videos and I just ordered the phantom saddle build your own kit with 8mm ropes 2 sys haulers tree storage and the recliner! So I’m looking for a lil more info on climbing sticks platform what I need for aiders and what the best way to go about that do I or not need anything else that maybe being a first timer I will need didn’t come with the kit I ordered.This is my first time ever to try saddle hunting but I see it all over UA-cam and everyone says how much they like it better than a traditional stand! Also the ropeman do I need that or is that just an upgrade if so just an upgrade do you recommend the extra cost for one! There is just so much info and so much stuff and so much that’s homemade and store bought it’s a little bit overwhelming to a first timer and the price is more than iv ever spent on any stand but also not worried about spending more to get something that will make things easier safer or faster any help would be appreciated
You can use rope and have prussik knot instead of ropeman, then no metal to clang anywhere and scare deer,and if you just using sticks and not climbing with rope then you should have everything you need,except you may also want to buy gear holder and clips for it to hold your bag and bow,you can buy a daisey chain online for that if want , also nysaddle hunters is very informative channel as well if want to learn more
@@ericb6390 Thanks Eric right now that’s the setup I have is the rope and Prussik not. I’m going to give that a try for a while and see how that works out for me. I have used it a two times just in the yard and noticed that once you set into the saddle the prussik not is hard to move after that so I can see why everyone recommends the rope man. I ordered the tetherd HYS strap and am liking that so far and I’m going to make the kydex hangers for my bow and quiver that I saw on G2 outdoors and give what I have a go and see how things go this season and maybe upgrade some stuff for next year. I soaked 400$+ in this phantom kit and climbing sticks so I’d better just make what I got work for now so my wife don’t come for me in my sleep lol!! Thanks for the help.
Lots of good information 👍
Thanks! Love following your channel! Keep up the great work, bud.
Do you have any experience with the magnus bow pod , because I was hoping to do some archery hunting from the ground was looking for info from a trustworthy source. Hello from Western pa , keep up the awesome content you've been putting out lately!
Great question! Hit up Derek at New Day Outdoors here on UA-cam. Guy is a turkey killing machine with a bow and he uses the bow pod religiously.
@@averagejackarchery thanks for the info man.
Looks ok. I'm not a fan of saddle could easily get cramp n not comfortable
Anyone feel it slipped into a 90's dating video around the 3:45 mark? Great videos!
It is your responsibility to inspect your safety equipment; everytime you leave the tree, and before you leave your home... We may rely on the construction of the equipment. That never means there isn't a defect or you could have snagged your gear on something
Great video. I just got into saddle hunting and I to was thinking what about the ascender or bridge gives way.now with your video I'll have 2 safety hookups .thanks.been a long time subscriber to you and ive got so much valuable information from you.take care.💯💢👌👈👍
Beginner to the mobile sets this year. Can't decide which direction I want to go Hang on or saddle. After heaving spent some time in the saddle and your xop set up. What would you prefer to run over the other?
A Tethrd saddle alllll day. Not even close on packability, mobility, etc.
@@averagejackarchery thanks for the reply! I do like the saddle but It's still a toss up for this guy... Many more videos and some procrastinating to be had.
Ничего не понял, но всё равно очень интересно. Спасибо большое.
Используя онлайн-переводчик, это, вероятно, очень неправильно. Но я думаю, пожалуйста?
dont know if im the only one that's thinking about this, but anything can happen. so how about flipping out of the saddle meaning backwards, is there anything with the saddle that will keep you from doing that. so you'll know what im talking about, say you were just arching your back stretching while sitting in the saddle is it possible 2 flip out. because with a safety harness you have it basically around your body but the saddle is not. im just wondering. but great explaining on the saddle.
I would definitely check out Bobby Beaudreaux channel on flipping out of the saddle. Same with G2outdoors. Both have videos going full upside down without a hitch.
@@averagejackarchery got it thanks
It's better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it
Not easier to go shoping food???
My suggestion to you need to do more research on your harness below your hips the dangers of being in a harness for long periods of time. You have to have an Escape Route if you flip upside down it can be very hard you write yourself. Static rope are nice but dynamic will cushion your fall on a 4 or 5 ft drop. Static rope or made for lineman, rescue and arborist. Hunting from a tree falls in sport climb which means you'll have to rescue yourself. There's quite a few videos showing people giving trouble 6 ft off the ground that could not write themselves. Just don't want to see you hurt yourself I know you got a wife and kid. Take a class sport climbing and lineman you can see the difference
hold on one minute !!! too much info there !!! aren't you in any way an average jack , lol ? this topic is complicated , i'd hang myself helplessly by my phone hand with phone in hand. will be replaying this for weeks . haaa
Man, short sleeves?
Go big, or go home.
Too much set up. I’ll stick with ground blind hunting
The view sucks from the ground
long Talker, think of all the words that are unessary and stick to the facts, good job otherwise
