Missed you guys at Gaylord Jays last Sunday! I was bummed out but I did pick up a new Method 2 saddle and love it! upgraded from my old 'Arrow Hunter' saddle.
i love it. one concern that just came to mind are the magnets. So there are some snowmobile jackets that started using magnets, however, they are actually outlawed in certain locations because it affects GPS if someone is using one or needs to be found. Just something to keep in mind as i use a GPS for all my hunts. I use the classic latitude and love it.
Love my method, however, the only thing I disliked about it was the clips - trying to reconnect the bottom net to the top, esp with the pouches getting in the way … I badly want this! Thanks for making great products for us!!!
I’ve emailed the company here recently about how to re-tie the knots,that are used. Pretty upset that there’s no instructions that show you how to tie the knots. Say they come undone in field, or your kids happen to do it?
Man, after buying a different saddle with 40 years of hunting development, I really wish I would have bought the method 2. I plan to sell the other saddle and buy the latitude, which is what I should have done from the beginning.
I’m looking to buy a saddle, close to 50 and hunted like most out of climbers and lock ons over the years. I’ve looked at every brand and I like the latitude best. I do worry that there isn’t enough fabric for the bottom piece that cups your butt area. It looks like it could use a bigger bottom part. So not sure if I’ll end up buy your brand or not. Is that a problem or am I overthinking it? Jonathan
My buddy gave me this list: I'm running the latitude method 2 with Eastern Woods Outdoors ultimate one stick with angled platform and sewn in two step aider madrock safeguard rappel device. They're hard to find sometimes though. 40 foot of canyon civ 9mm rope.
See you guys don’t understand we never did this at all and trying to learn. Is the tether just a rope with a loop On the end and you run it through it, I don’t see how that doesn’t slip down the tree like when you take pressure off it
If i already have my ropes from an old saddle. Do i need to use yalls that are prusiks because I like the climbing tiny metals things but dont know if i can go from mine to yalls
@@andrewholmes4381 Shoot us an email when you get a chance and we can discuss. explore@latitudeoutdoors.com. If you can send some pictures of your ropes too that will help us understand what you're working with. Thanks again for reaching out!
Hello I just bought my first saddle the method 2 XL fits great only problem so far is the bridgeknot is very hard to tighten or loosen any tips or ideas why it might be like that?
How do you attach the tether. Im not sure how the plastic "D Loops" attach. I tried to zoom in on the video to see how you had it. What is its purpose?
Wish the saddle came with instructions, thought this video would solve that. Just finished the video and still don’t know how to work this thing. Took ur time explaining how magnets work but not explaining how to properly set up the tether. Thanks, Can’t wait to fall out the tree but at least I know how to connect the magnets.
I'm just going to assume you've set everything up because you know how to do that even though you're watching a how to video. Wish I watched this before buying $40 worth of rope for $400
I have the og and the new one in xl.. the new xl is dramatically more comfortable to me. Great job. Also I’m like 6-1’ and 190-200lbs
Zack, thanks for sharing. This is very helpful for others. Thank you for the support!

Great updates on the M2.
Thank you!
Nice I have the first one. Best saddle I've ever used.
Thank you Robert!
What type of slip knot are you using on the belt? Got a video of how to re-tie it?
Just unboxed my Method 2 XL holy shit it's unreal, game changer!!!!
anybody looking for a slightly used Mantis?
Great overview, Kevin! Thanks for sharing!
I am looking forward to trying this. It will be my first saddle!
You shouldn't skip showing how to transfer from lineman's to your bridge. That is one of the most dangerous parts of the climb.
Pretty self explanatory.
Love the saddle , thanks for a great product

Great video!
Hey Kevin. I accidentally got the XL. Im 5'10 around 180. Will the XL, or will i get more hip pinch?
Are these saddles sewn in the USA?
really interested in this but wish there was a flat belt option instead of the rope.
I’m a size 36 waist. Would you recommend going up a size to ensure room for bulky late season bibs or staying with the regular?
Hey Isaac, you should go with the XL to leave room for cold weather gear. Thanks for reaching out!

Anyone know what knot is used on the rope belt?
I'm just starting. Bout to order everything I need. Still kinda confused but I know I want the XL. So do I only need 1 stick and what kinda platform
My buddy gave me this list:

Anything u see I need different..I know I want the XL but other than that

On the end and you run it through it, I don’t see how that doesn’t slip down the tree like when you take pressure off it
Great video! Is the saddle your using in the tree a regular or XL?
Regular size being worn in the tree, thanks for reaching out!
I DRT climb with this saddle. After ascending the bridge knot is so tight. It's almost impossible to loosen it. Any recommendations?
U ever get it figured out
If i already have my ropes from an old saddle. Do i need to use yalls that are prusiks because I like the climbing tiny metals things but dont know if i can go from mine to yalls
Hey Andrew! As long as your ropes are safe they will work great with our saddles. Thanks for reaching out!
@@latitudeoutdoors they are but I have only a bridge and climbing rope. My bridge is a single rope down to my saddle. Is that ok?

How do you set your tethr
How do I get that shirt
How do you attach the tether. Im not sure how the plastic "D Loops" attach. I tried to zoom in on the video to see how you had it. What is its purpose?
Sounds like you're talking about the prusik tender. Did you get that figured out?
How do you get down?

Took ur time explaining how magnets work but not explaining how to properly set up the tether. Thanks, Can’t wait to fall out the tree but at least I know how to connect the magnets.
Do you need the leg straps? I’ve heard people not using them because they pinch your nuts
I'm just going to assume you've set everything up because you know how to do that even though you're watching a how to video. Wish I watched this before buying $40 worth of rope for $400
Somehow you made a video about how to saddle hunt and didn't even touch on the most important part.... how to climb the effing tree.
@@briand9513 you don't use a harness with a saddle, you're tethered in. And you won't flip.
Lol the video was intended to focus just on the saddle. There's plenty of climbing videos
