Dryad - KillDeer Rock Climbing Harness 

Thanks for the video. My killdeer came in today and this video is very helpful.

I have this set up minus the pouch and it works for bigger stature guys. I am new to saddle hunting and come from a ladderstand/tree climber background. It held me as I am 5' 6" nearly 300 lbs without gear. I have used it nearly a dozen times and a couple of times I somehow ended up swinging freely on a tree. This gave me great confidence in the capability and quality of performing. This was the only saddle (so far) that accommodated me as I have tried other saddles that friends have. They have a great set up, but they didn't work for me. Yes you can layer up after setting up in the tree. I have a lot I can add with the little experience I have, but my last comment didn't get posted. Great video to help me use this saddle more efficiently. Thank you!

Nice video, explained the product very well! Great job man!

Thank you, nice vid/review.

Just a thought…. If you attach your tether chest high or higher, it will allow you greater lateral movement, but still pivot you right back to the tree if there is a catastrophic failure of your stand. SRT saddle hunter advice. Try it. You may like it. Plus you can more easily turn your back to the tree!

Great video I was waiting for a review on the killdeer looks like I’ll have to pick one up

Thank you, again.

Great video. I use my saddle as my safety harness when I am using a tree stand in this same fashion. One thing you could do is go to a store that sells climbing equipment and get a piece of Dynamic rope. It has stretch built in to help absorb a fall for rock climbers. It could be a fairly inexpensive option for your tether.

Big thumbs up guy!

Appreciate the videos , you do a great job. Are you coming out with a video on the drey saddle ? Thanks again

I am a little late but I run something similar and you can take that tag end back through either the loop or under the belt and then tied back to the extension coming off the tree. Adds a little more protection and gets it out of the way a little. If you also have your platform and last stick height the same you can use the stick to walk partly around the tree and get a shot behind you like a saddle.

Nice vid. Good explanation. REI has numerous rock climbing harnesses and waist band and legs straps are thicker and padded. Only thing can't find one with lineman loops. But use your tether thru baloo loop for that purpose. Under $70

I subscribe love ur channel and content your awesome tell it like it is.....hurry up with that drey video bro ur one of the few I watch and I trust your opinions cause ur from michigan

Looks like a nice set up...should work well with my beast stand

You know my answer still. You guys r nutso. 🤣🤙 Give me my ladder stand

awesome vid homie, good explanation, I'm gonna have to come over and check it out

I have the same Tether. I saw a great video on attaching a tether the other day and tries it today. It worked exceptionally well.

I always tie the end of my tether to one of my lineman belt loops....little extra safety.

Like the sever shirt

I run my tether about chest to neck high with it and doing it that way you can take all of the slack out. Also doing it that way you can use it like a saddle if you need to shoot right behind the tree.
