Looks neat F.A. However, the older I get the more I like ladder stands. I prefer blinds even more!

I don't see it. With equipment we have today it looks to me like going backwards.

The never ending attempt to fix what's not broken.

Well, I get the point of trying something new, it makes things interesting but I don’t think this is an improvement. No way it is easier and more comfortable than good portable sticks with a good millennium stand

To much movement I think, I have stands up and just  carry my sticks with me, I run and gun with my climber and it's way more comy than that Imo. But it's always good to learn a new knot!

No more stands... just rope, cameras and bow! Let everyone know how it goes.

I'm trying out saddle hunting this year, but I won't be doing this method of climbing (DRT or SRT).  Throwing ropes into the trees just seems too much of a hassle vs. climbing sticks or treehopper bolts.  Plus it seems pretty noisy.

I like these guys in saddle world. Finally somebody has given a simple rope access demo. Smart because once they get started blakes hitch and hump. Soon they will be rope walking. NY SADDLE HUNTERS also has a real tree guy smart move. The approch is much better than mine. Good job NY saddle.

Don't think I would trust pine branches with that way of climbing.
