- In this video I show you folks how I've been hunting in trees this season. I have almost exclusively been hunting this way this year and it is my go to mobile hunting set up for public land run and gun type hunts. It really only weights about 5lbs, and its super quick and quiet. I reference another youtubers video this is the link to that video . . .
• DIY Hunting Saddle - ...
DIY sportsman is the one that I first saw this type of saddle set up, the climbing method is similar to a few other folks. Its my favorite way to hunt from a tree. Comment below with questions or even suggestions for ways to improve it.
Cheap, light weight, and works! I like it!
I love this setup. I love the 5lbs deal as well. I'm up for the challenge and need to give it a try.
This looks kickass for someone tryin to hunt on a budget 👍
Thanks for the tip I have been trying to think of something lighter than a platform and that will do it!! Being a residential tree business owner that climbs I have access to sweet ropes that will work quite nicely!!! Stay safe and good luck on you up coming season!!
Looks handy. New ways to save weight and be mobile is always nice. Plenty of times I have gotten set up and wanted to move, but the thought of task kept me where I was.

Very well thought out I've made i lot of tree stands when i was younger good job my friend
Awesome setup man, I need to look into this, love it!
I've been searching for years to find the lightest way to hike in the deer woods and get safely and easily in and out of just about any tree....this is it! Tried it out today for the first time and absolutely love it.
This is my kind of thinking. Thanks for sharing.
This seems to be the most versatile, effective, and cheapest method to tree climbing/hunting that I have seen. I’ve done lots of research to graduate from ground blind hunting to get up into the trees, but everything seemed so expensive what with the sticks, stand, harness, and rope. With this setup, I spent a grand total of 40 dollars (minus the sit drag as it doesn’t bother me too much to sit with just the harness). Plus it seems to be great for public land hunting since you don’t have to worry about anything getting stolen, it is super light to carry out even deep in the woods, and doesn’t take much work to get up there quietly. Thanks for sharing this I will definitely be using this method as well as sharing it around as a lot of people I told about it so far said how innovative it is.
Good job, I like it...👍
Very useful when weight is an issue. Thanks!
This video sparked an idea for making a small platform with a stick like was used, or a board which should be more comfortable then a couple tree steps which I use now. Thanks
This is definitely a cool setup. And looks really easy. My concern is your only attached to the tree by one rope. I think you should have a lineman line around the tree. And have that attached to the rick climbing harness, you can transition to the saddle only once your in position. Just a thought. Great ingenuity and setup thanks for the post.
FYI, rock climbers deal with it because they are climbing the rock, not hanging from the rope. The harness is just used to carry gear and catch them if they fall. If you check out arborists saddles you will see the construction is different. This is cool though, I like that the setup is so simple!
This is gold.
I’m going to have to try the board trick. I tried this with just rope and climbing harness and it was a butt kicker. I could only sit in a climbing harness for a couple hours. Getting ready to try the sit drag! Nice video.
Great looking system! The only safety change I would make is attach the lower foot rope to you or rope that goes around the tree. That way if it happens to fall of feet and is loose it could slide down tree, where you couldn’t reach it.
I like it!
