One key thing on #4 Movement that I think about is body position. You mentioned getting busted more for being away from the tree BUT look at your angle from feet to head. Now look at a tree branch and how the angle of that is too. To me being in a saddle looks as natural as a branch growing out from the bole of the tree.

True story, for the most part they are not going to notice the big ugly branch unless it’s moving too much 🤣

Good video. I am wanting to get into this but am unsure of a good brand name. I have only seen one called tethrd workhorse system. About 800.00 and everyone is out of stock. Any advice?

@@michaelknowlton7269 there are a lot of good brands out there. Latitude outdoors and Tethrd are usually the bigger name brands. trophyline and XOP are a couple others. Latitude method 2 is what is featured in the video. Just getting started into saddle hunting I know latitude makes a couple of good options. Another thing is to look on different saddle groups on social media. People are always selling saddles to upgrade. I hope this helps!

I got the XOP Mondo and Edge combo for $200 from Amazon and just set it to make a 36$ payment on my cc for 6 months to take the sting off buying a $200 "toy" for myself.😅

I really appreciate the input and advice. Sorry so slow to reply. I have been in contact with numerous companies that you all have suggested and then go to you tube and investigate. Some are so cheesy and transparent. Nowadays ya have to watch their acting skills and try to figure if china has bought them out. I can imagine the feel good commercials and then get into a tree only to have it fail. While laying on the ground in agnoy, reading the tag. Made in China by terminator t-100.😄

Well I have an update. After many hours of searching and about going nutz over frustration, the choice became clear. Not to me so much but my beloved wife. She forced me to buy the tethrd ultralock bundle.😀 I just don't understand why she has to be so mean and forceful but I knuckled under and submitted to her wisdom 😂. Thanks for all of the help

So I do have one headache. I forget the name of it, but it's like a little green string with the tiny hooks. That's used.For getting your tether loose after you repel down. I have yet been able to keep it from getting a birds nest.It's practically useless to me. So what do ya use for getting your tether?Ing loose, what kind of string and how do you maintain it?Hold it

So.. neither of us actually use the rappel method to get down out of the tree. We use the sticks and lineman’s belt to get down. Wish we could give you some advice on getting your rope down but that’s not our forte!

I had a method 2 but i messed up listening to the company's advice about if your size 36 or larger you should get the XL..and being my first time ever buying one, i just figured bigger would be better. So it was still comfortable but way too big..that thing be swallowing me if i didnt tie the panels together w rope lol@BaitsNBucks

I store my dynaGLIDE (what I think you’re talking about) as well as any rope or cordage in a figure 8. So it never really becomes a nest.

Nice vid, and tips, Guys! Been using an Anderson tree sling since 1984, with and without a stand. Recently, purchased 2 new saddles, that I love! Check out JRB TREE CLIMBING, a system I've been practicing since first of this year. He has some adjustable bridge setups that are great! Along with all types of safe no slack rope climbing for all types of stands and saddle user's! Best to ya this fall, good shooting, have a great day, and thanks for sharing!

So hunting from a saddle has actually been around for a long time but over the past few years it’s made a huge comeback due to its versatility. You can haul in less weight into the woods while staying more mobile. It’s not that it’s any better than hunting a tree stand just different!
