Climbing Harness VS Hunters Safety Harness 

Thank you.

Thank you, Mike! Praise the Lord, Jesus.

Thanks, brother. Hope you are successful on that hunt! God bless ya.

I fixed this by adding my own lineman's loops. Go over to Saddlehunter and there are tons of cheap and safe options. I wrapped a piece of 1" climb spec webbing around my waist and harness and then tied loops at each end on my sides in the proper position. I then only had to keep the thing from slipping up. I used 50 lbs break strength thread and sewed the entire thing to the harness using a lock stitch and 1,000s of stitches. It is extremely strong and can likely hold 1,000 lbs or more, but my sewing doesn't have to because I'm simply leaning back against the webbing behind my back and all the stitching does is keep it in place. I then took 5/8" climb spec webbing and tied loops around the harness and webbing to join them and then sewed those in place, so even if my initial stitches fail I would have to break several webbing loops to fall, which is nearly impossible.

Thanks

Thanks for watching and sharing. God bless ya

I was hoping someone commented about this. The 6 point cuts off circulation to your legs while the climbing does not. I hear many hunters have died or lost legs from this.

@@Justin-zs1ql Yep, versus climbing and arborist harness are made to hang from, rappel, etc. And they are so much less binding and comfortable. You can easily put it on and then walk miles and only tighten it quickly at the tree. If you hold an $80 Petzl harness and understand the research, development, and quality control that goes into that thing, then you will realize that reputable climbing company gear is simply in a different league than Muddy or Hunter Safety Systems (like comparing a Yugo to a Tesla). Even the ropes from hunter-specific companies are heavier and not as strong, they even skimp or misapply tech there in something easy and then tie an overhand knot and crimp it down with metal or something. Also, climbing harnesses orient you so that you can be athletic after a fall, grab your rope, use your legs, etc. and self-rescue. My Muddy required me to get a little piece of webbing out of a bag tied to my harness and then tie a knot, so I wouldn't lose my legs or die (?!?). Also, hanging from a 6 point harness is supposed to be excruciating because it focuses so much stress on your groin and femoral artery. I always hear guys claiming "I'm gonna use what the archery professional make to be safe"....well more experienced people than them figured it out and employed it far better many years ago (climbers and arborists).

@@MrShysterme what climb harness would u choose? I want to try SRT with the RopeRunner when it gets the CE stamp. Are every arborist harness uncomfortable compared to a climbing harness? Bc that's what I here when reading various forums. I already have 30m xstatic rope currently waiting for the RRP but the saddle question still remains... 1) safety 2) comfortable 3) weight I hope someone with experience can help me

@@Shiwwy Arborist harnesses seem to have a little more padding and coverage so are not that bad.

Thank you.

@@seansoutdoors yes sir.. had an accident with a bow a mod screw came loose and severed the cam cable it messed my paw up good but once it heals maybe I can get you some private land to hunt in NW Missouri sw iowa this year.

@@pantera3336 Sorry to hear that. I pray to God that you heal fast and soon. God bless you. And, thanks for thinking of me when it comes to hunting.

@@seansoutdoors thank you and I'd be thankful to let you get in on some of the hunting ground around here. I have quite a few private lands to hunt.

Thank you!

Lol thank you!!!

Thanks!

YEs, and, you climb with two linemen ropes at all times in order to get around branches. When reaching the desired height, you put the free one around the tree and lock it on then take the other off.

Great

Lol thanks

Lol I remember those days too. My first safety system was there belts. One around me, one the tree and one connecting the two lol. That was in the 1980s.

ya! we can LOL at that now, because God saved use from death, and for reasons he has set up for us. Thank GOD. be safe this year as you know it to be.

Works fine for me. I don't use the hunters safety harness anymore. I just use the other harness I use in this video

Thanks Louis.

If the hip loops are made for using a linemen’s ropes then you should be okay if you are connected safely and properly

You are welcome. Thanks for watching.

It does not. You'll need a lineman's rope. About 10 feet long will enable you to use as a lineman around the tree or lanyard around the tree and just hang there

Thanks

Thanks.

Lol, well, at least you get up the tree.

Hunters safety system.

I have been using the climbing harness exclusively for two years now and I will never ever go back to using the full body hunters safety harness. I like the climbing harness so much better and if you think of it, tree arborists and rock climbers all use just the climbing harness around the waist and legs and not full body. Why do hunters then think they need to do something differently than what everyone else is doing who is hanging from a rope off the ground somewhere?

THanks for sharing. God bless ya, Jake

👍

Works well for me.

Sean's Outdoor Adventures looks like a good idea!

I made one. But before that I used a lone wolf lineman rope

Okay. God bless your efforts.

Maybe you misinterpreted my comment. I really do appreciate you falling out of the stand so we don’t have to, but I also REALLY do need to add some loops to my bare bones Black Diamond climbing harness. From what I understand most don’t have them so I know I’m not alone. If you didn’t address it here, any ideas on the best way to go? Thank you and God bless you as well.

@@davidrussell631 If you mean adding lineman's loops to the harness, I've done it with various methods. XOP uses quick links, something like this amzn.to/3g9PEsn

Thanks man. I found a few ways to go but just decided to upgrade to a more substantial harness for when I hang and hunt. I appreciate the reply.

Great

Thanks

Sorry to hear that

I may not have what you are looking for. Here is a playlist of tree stand related videos Tree Stand Hanging and Related Videos: ru-vid.com/group/PL-rtLON_MVhNbN7JaHClHFtCKqpjwqhyt

I’m an Oklahoma native and I love your channel I believe you are beyond passionate, my best memories are those w my dad in the woods. My question was directed towards rain proof, wind proof diy and setting up materials for comfort.

Yup

Awesome thanks

I agree and much cheaper than a "hunting saddle"

I like the closest thing harness a lot better but yes, the one stick method is too much work

Joe, God bless you, but I think the points you are making are not necessary ... Saddle hunting is front facing hook up and only around the waste. The point is to have something that will keep you from going to the ground....

@@seansoutdoors oh i agree it will definitely stop you from hitting the ground i thought the test was which one was safer

Hug the tree and fireman pole down like I did when I was a kid

Filmed some of it but didn’t get to edit it or finish it

It all worked out.

Some people view this as a vital point of preparation before hunting out of a tree.

Nope

Lol thanks

Thanks,lol

I use this one. amzn.to/3rjmeio I 100% switched to the arborist harness and got rid of my hunter's safety harness.

@@seansoutdoors looks like the leg size is 29in. I have thicker legs and need a bigger size. Would this onewww.amazon.ae/HandAcc-Professional-Mountaineering-Magnesium-Connection/dp/B075WNTTWB be similar to yours but the leg straps are longer (33in)?

@@bobbydenezza7795 It would work but doesn't give you a bridge, it just has a metal hoop in the front. You could look into tieing on your own bridge if you get the right materials etc.

@@seansoutdoors What do you mean by a bridge?

@@bobbydenezza7795 The center of the front of the harness that you attach your carabiner to is the bridge. If you look at the one I use there is a strap that is about 9 inches long that you hook to that gives you some slide and play. The one you sent me just has a metal hoop so there is no play to slide with when leaning to draw your bow.

It was weird for sure

Thanks

Glad you are okay.

I went with the tree climbing harness and got rid of the hunters...

@@seansoutdoors well to be honest its a seat harness so its design to comfort in "hanging" conditions but i'm pretty sure that a hunter harness didn't

Yup

You'll make the evening news. Hunter needs to be rescued from a tree by the fire department because he dropped his stick and couldn't climb down. Sources say he would have starved to death up there if they hadn't rescued him.

Lol, you're welcome, lol
