Thanks for explaining these. This is crucial and I was looking for madrock rope.

@ThatOneHunterGuy 27 дней назад

I run the sterling c-iv and rappel with a figure-8.

@TruffulaSteve 3 года назад

Good stuff BirdDog. I’ve been wondering about that Canyon Elite. Hope you’re enjoying the new fanatic set bud.

@ISaddleHunt 3 года назад

Most definitely am sir!! Hope all is well with you and yours!

@SEPA.1973 3 года назад

Great video! Enjoy your content! How about the price per foot for each? Our passion is very costly so price matters when all 3 are good options! Thanks

@ISaddleHunt 3 года назад

I’ll update the description with links to the ropes sir! Appreciate the feedback!

@bv12ringer Год назад

You put that madrock on backwards

@tstoute82 Год назад

Hey bro im getting my gear together to be one sticking next season and ended up on this video for ropes. Are you still running the Canyon Elite? Im having mixed feeling on the Elite vs c-iv.

@ISaddleHunt Год назад

To be honest, you really can’t go wrong with either one. This past season I ran with the canyon elite. The season prior the c-iv. Both are solid. Good luck sir! Stick a giant! 👊🏽

@Blade-mh3mi 3 года назад

As always. Great video. I use the Oplux with the madrock (I’m not telling anyone to do so) and it’s worked great.

@ISaddleHunt 3 года назад

I did as well. Then my family out voted me after I explained the differences in them all lol ✊🏾

@DrewWarren 2 года назад

you guys get ANY slipping with that setup? I'm actually trying to get to a full ascend/rappel with the 8 on the oplux, but would be a huge bonus if the safeguard works ok with it... I would use an autoblock on both 8 and MR

@Blade-mh3mi 2 года назад

@@DrewWarren I use a 8 also with oplux. No issues.

@DrewWarren 2 года назад

@@Blade-mh3mi awesome. Are you ascending with it as well? I’m finding that if I use a ropeman just during each move (one-sticking), I don’t have to adjust it as much and can get the tether much higher per move. Are you doing anything similar?

@Blade-mh3mi 2 года назад

@@DrewWarren no, just to go down. Keep in mind, a 8, you will fly down the tree if your not careful. If you let your brake hand go, your go long straight down in a hurry. How familiar with a 8 and rigging it are you?

@brianmoore3659 3 года назад

Very interesting, ropes are always a great conversation topic as it relates to saddle hunting. I know its extra work but links might be helpful to some. Im curious about the weight comparison of those 3? I dont use any of those, but definitely use 9mm with the ole Mad Rock. Great video bud!

@ISaddleHunt 3 года назад

I’ll update the description with links to each rope when I get back home bro. Good idea about the weights. I’ll add that in description as well! Miigz for the feedback brutha!

@jamesmoore1124 3 года назад

You’re voice sounds like Nate Dias of the UFC. He is a student of one of the Gracie brothers. Like you’re videos.

@ISaddleHunt 3 года назад

Haha thanks sir, yep I’m very familiar with who Nate is! lol glad you like the videos sir! ✊🏾

@DigitalAndInnovation 2 года назад

It seems like it might be a bit more convenient and you would leave the gun at home and focus on navigating the forest and how you want to go about rigging rappels and such.

@grundan69 3 года назад

Good information, thanks!

@ISaddleHunt 3 года назад

Thanks for checking it out sir! ✊🏾

thanks for the vid loved it! and BJJ for life!!

@ISaddleHunt 2 года назад

Haha thanks man! And oss! 🤙🏽

@jamesmarsee3297 3 года назад

Have you used the madrock lifeguard? Having a hard time finding the safeguard.TIA

@ISaddleHunt 3 года назад

I have not used the lifeguard sir. The lifeguard comes equipped with a spring that will keep the cam open on the rope if there is no tension on the rope where the rope can slide through easier. It’s made more for a lead climber so they can work the rope easier. For what we do, you will want the springless safeguard sir. It’s not spring loaded to stay open without tension. That’s the best I can explain it sir.

@kyleohse6995 Год назад

Just getting into saddle hunting and want to rappel down instead of climbing down the one sticks and aider in the dark. Where can I buy the maxim canyon elite in 35'?

@ISaddleHunt Год назад

www.doublesteps.com sir. Eastern Woods Outdoors has everything you’ll need. Good luck this season! 👊🏽

@richardhill5968 3 года назад

Once again great info and I am a sinner as well using oplux with my mad rock. I'm also interested in the difference in weights because if the ol lady finds out about my transgressions, she gonna demand I get in spec 🤣

@ISaddleHunt 3 года назад

😂✊🏾 definitely feel you! I’ll update the video description with the ropes weights by Monday sir. Have some family things happening but will for sure do it!

@JackCurtis-k9m Год назад

Are you worried about the blue coloring in the canyon elite. Deer see blue very well

@ISaddleHunt Год назад

I’ve killed a few mature bucks now with the rope dangling down the tree. Lol 👊🏽

@jasrobsny Год назад

Canyon Elite looks a little stiff in the video. Is Canyon Elite really as supple and flexible as Oplux?

@ISaddleHunt Год назад

I won’t say they’re the same, but it’s definitely comparable.

@jasrobsny Год назад

@@ISaddleHunt As long as it works well with a Grigri and ascender and holds knots well that's all I need. I do like the price point so I'm giving this a try.

@chrisfragnito 3 года назад

I believe the maxim rope is about 40% heavier than the sterling. That's about a pound difference with these lengths. Seems like a lot.

@ISaddleHunt 3 года назад

I honestly didn’t weigh them to see what the actual difference was. Its pretty negligible to be honest sir. I seen staggs in the wild has posted that 40’ of maxim is .5lbs heavier than the Sterling.

@bigterp75 3 года назад

Great video, thx for buying 120’ of rope from DanO

@ISaddleHunt 3 года назад

Thanks sir! And haha 🤷🏾‍♂️✊🏾

@nicklausmisiti5204 2 года назад

what are the weights of the ropes?

@ISaddleHunt 2 года назад

It would depend upon how much footage of rope you have, but that being said, the oplux and maxim elite are comparable in weight, with ci-v being slightly heavier than the others but not by much.
