- Buckingham sent us a brand new navigator saddle. Here we will test it and show the many features it has.
Here is where you can buy the Navigator Saddle - buckinghammfg....
Looks like a pretty solid rig. I've been eager to check out the Edelrid saddle as well. So far, buy a long shot, the Monkey Beaver harness has been my favorite. August has done a really good job on it, and the new 2.0 is even better than the last.
I know it's different for you guys, but looking at the leg straps....they look too high 🤔on the elastic ?
Nice thanks for sharing!
@@arborist18 On the Monkey Beaver? If that’s what you are referring too, I thought the same thing when I first looked at it. They are super adjustable though and very comfortable
@@SR20FTW I currently use the Monkey Beaver, and love it, I was referring to the saddle in the video
Monkey B is great too, I have the suspenders, and a few other things they sell, but Bino is an educator like few
Thank you!
Good review, I like the thick padding throughout 👍 🇨🇦🇺🇸
Thanks 👍
I’m not sure how many things you are sent for review, but….you should be getting ALL OF IT
Love your vids, and I’ve bought plenty from your reviews….1000s of dollars
And to the suppliers, Bino responds to his followers. He determined what I now own. Likely 6K$ in 2022…just a FYI !
Much deserved
Hope to see more!
Thank you for sharing your awesome comment!!! Take care!
The best saddle I've ever used hands down is I had the first edition I just got the 2.0 about 3 months ago it is that's just my opinion
Man this really is a nice daddle!
Hey Bino do you have a video of a bucket operator repelling out of a broke down bucket truck safely?
I've recently had one blow a hose so I fixed that and then next time I got a chance to use it the hydraulics just stopped working. I was fixing to go down and refuel my saw.
Luckily we had a 40 ft ladder handy and some tree climbing friends to help get me out of it. The first time I was just 15ft high the 2nd time I was 35 feet. The 40 ft ladder just barely reached the bucket.
I've started keeping enough rope on the bucket to get down now but still not sure the safest way to get past the bucket and descend on the rope.
Bino,
Thanks for the review. I'm not seeing a lot of advantages over say a lower model like the Buckingham master 5.0 saddle, and it's hard to stomach the price at $680 msrp with the competition offering alot more. And yeah, the lack of dorsal harness mounting D ring or lifesupport straps in back is a downside too.
They added a gap were you can use a Y strap so it's still capable to use as fall protection.
🎉🎉🎉I’ve been obsessed with this saddle since it’s release. One day it will be mine. So happy for you, I think this is a step up from your previous saddle for sure. I am a hefty guy and love your vids, gives me confidence. Thank you. 👊🏻🧡🇨🇦
I agree, Thank you for sharing!
Thank you Bino for this review as I am shopping for a saddle for my wife who is the captain for my ground crew and who REALLY wants to get into the canopy like I do as the climber. This Buckingham Navigator is similar in many ways to my Petzl Sequoia SRT, although I believe my Sequoia SRT seems to be a better buy for my wife as there is no velcro to clog up plus my waist adjusters is not connected via a Cobra belt connector, which if the stars align could come loose in unusual circumstances (because = Murphy). Again, great review but I think I will buy her a Petzl Sequoia SRT like I have because mine is bullet proof. (Edited to correct typos as my thumbs often hit the wrong letters on my iPhone keyboard - (seriously though, which tiny thumbed soy boy was used to designate the size of letter ‘buttons’ on iPhones?)

Thank you Bino, looking forward to more videos.
Thank you!
Definitely looks really nice and versatile. Wanna get it but boss at work won't buy us anything over 500 bucks. Any suggestions for that budget?

Let me know if it helps.
Enjoyed the video. Thorough presentation. Thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Wow I would love to try one of those. I think you're going to really enjoy that
Yes I am! Thank you!
Damn Bino, I really like this saddle. I've had the Monkey Beaver 1.0 which I loved and now I'm using the Camp Tree Access which I don't like as much because of the location of the side D's and the hardware for the bridge connection. Tempted to buy this.
Nice, I've spent a little more time in and I really like the pads and all the connecting points. Take care!
Thanks!
You're welcome and thank you!
What an awesome gift, you deserve it, Are we going to see this in action on some tree work brother?
Confucius say.........nah....
@@groundpounder24365 lol
@@groundpounder24365 And Confucius say, "those who go to bed with itchy butt, wake up with smelly fingers".
I'm not climbing very often at work mostly if I have to do a canopy inspection or training my crew.
You are going to like it, that's one of my favorites 👍
Yes I do. I've spent a little more time in it and I am finding very comfortable and I really like all of the option it has. Thanks Martin!
Bluemoon......how s song go???love that ro pe...
Wanted try that one because it has bucket arrest attachment y top harness. Need nice. And simaler to the better style harnesses like my monkey beaver. There's only a few besides the camp .but it is crotch injury from looking at it . Buckingham ha s couple but there resly high priced
So far I've spent a little more time in the saddle and it is comfortable but not sure how the Y strap will feel on it.
Bino sorry to say this here to you. I have tried to order the navigator, I am in Canada, it has not gone well. I ordered directly from Buckingham Manufacturing as you posted for your link and discount code. There has been nothing but problems and more and more fees. I have cancelled my order. Looks like a great belt by your description and reviews, but it seems they want only those in the States to have it. I tried.
Sorry to hear that.
How do you feel about the Petzl Astro Bod Fast Rope Access Full Body Harness? I have followed you for awhile and would like a quick honest opinion.
@@robertparshall9807 I'm not familar with that saddle but Petazl makes great equipment. I've seen the Sequoia and that is a very nice saddle.
Thank you
Thank you Bino
You're welcome!
Will you get the retro fit “y” harness and do a review on that as well?
Thanks I will keep it in mind.
Okay Bino! Which saddle do you prefer? The Navigator saddle or the Agility?
I have not use the Agility but it looks comfortable. To me it looks like the Navigator can do everything the Agility with more options for tie ins. The Navigator is a pound heavier but to me that doesn't matter because it's very comfortable.
MONKEY 🐒 BEAVER 🦫 for the win for me
Thanks for sharing!
Just finally picked one up and realized, there isn’t a huge difference in tree saddles. Mainly attachments. The monkey beaver has the attachment points and padding I was missing. I got by without it for years but I will enjoy it. Even tho it’s better, it still was hard to switch. My old one had some strengths too. But lack of padding and accessory hooks
Love my monkey beaver as well, best I've had yet. Although, this Buck belt Bino H is rocking, sounds great for an all around harness. I love the thought of it being acceptable for clipping into the bucket😎
Have 3 beavers..and one of the very first made .but they won't custom one for bucket rated attachment I've asked August. Time or 3
Nice honest review
Glad you liked it!
How do I stand on the side of a leaning tree?
They make it look so easy , I guess I need to try harder..
It is very difficult depending on the learn. I try to have wide stance and you have to feel when you are moving in the wrong direction and try to counter your weight.
Do a complete wraparound the tree with your lanyard. Thank me later.
Looks nice but dont think I will ever switch from the TreeMotion
I is nice. good point when you find something you like is always a good option.
Have you tried the Monkey - Beaver ?
No I haven't, I've seen it a couple of times.
I am currently weighing in at 237 . What size should I be looking at.
I'm 240 and I have a X-large but you should check out Buckingham and look at the sizing. check this video if you are planning on buying. ua-cam.com/video/Oxc1mUoI97M/v-deo.html
Does it have the lower D-Rings?
It has lower connecting points.
Buckingham makes quality stuff but teufelberger treemotion saddles is unparalleled
Thanks for sharing!
I’m not the biggest fan of the tree motion tbh . It a good saddle but for the work I do I find there better saddles or atleast more comfortable saddles for hanging in an having a big saw on
Where did you get your sweater?
I friend gave it to me for Christmas a few years ago. I'm not sure what site you may be able to find it on a web search.
You won’t get in trouble for climbing a city tree ?
It all depends on if a Karen is out walking her dog.
@@assassinlexx1993 lol you are right !
That is very possible.
True!
they thought of pretty much everything on that beauty, just looks a little heavy.🤷🏼♂️
I think so. Yes it is a bit heavy it's about 6 pounds but I don't notice the weight.
Nice review man nothing against you, but the saddle looks like trash. I climb with the tree motion about the monkey beaver pelts also probably one of the best.
Bino has never been more than 30ft off the ground
