HOT SADDLE HUNTING TIP: Turn Your Carabiner Into A Prusik Tender 

That was 5 minutes of my life well spent. Going to give that a try. Thank you!!

Thank you for this simple, yet very effective prusik configuration.

Great job. My 2 cents on this, I would tie a double fisherman's knot at the end of the prusik. The fisherman’s knot will handle the stress of a fall better. Otherwise great video.

This is an awesome tip for newbies in the saddle world.

Why hasn't this video gotten 6M views??? This technique is slicker than snot on a doorknob! Ingenious! Thank you!

Thank you.

Wow that's crazy and had not ever thought of doing that. Thanks for sharing

Works! Mind blown!! Thank you!!

Well done mate use what you have on you to solve a problem gear can get lost or broken this method keeps the weight of your equipment down and the hunter safe Awesome

Awesome information! Thanks!

Thanks for the tip!!

Gotta try it.. I'm literally sitting here making a tender as I write this

Thanks for sharing!

Awesome video! Never thought of this!!

Thank you for the video can't wait to try this

Genius … works so easy

Thanks for sharing! Love the hat!

Awesome information sir thanks for sharing

nice. thanks for posting

- Awesome! Thanks for sharing sir! I love RU-vid University!

Good info thanks for sharing.

Thank you for this!!!

thats awesome! great tip

Great tip, sir! Hackberry, have hung from many, and shot many animals from these trees! Thanks for sharing, Steve

Awesome. Thanks

Great video😊

Great video man…that looks very similar to what I do 😂 keep spreading the word! The only thing I would add to the video is make sure that you don’t have much slack in your knot, because if your knot goes through the carabiner then when you let go it’s gonna work in reverse all the way down the tree lol

That’s great thanks

DAMN BRO THAT HELPS SO MUCH

Learn something new everyday!

I will be doing that from now on.

Game changer!!!

Good stuff!

Love the hat what a way to rep a good RU-vid channel

that's cool thanks for sharing. i'm going to try it. i'm assuming a real tender will be better but i will try it!

Nice! Thank you very much~^^

I recognize your tether rope from Amazon. I have the same rope. I also use a prusick to tend my tether

@Jeremy Byng nice video; good tip, and well produced. Based on how well those prusik loops slid on your main lines, I'ld say that you found an optimal pairing for rope sizes. That said, talking about your safety here, I couldn't really tell how those prusik loops were terminated -> if those were overhand knots to close them off, then that's a clear no-go; those need to be a figure-8, or a double fishermans. The issue with an overhand knot is that they tend to roll, and it looks like you have less than an inch of tail after that knot [ scared the hell out of me, for your sake ]. If I were you, I would address those immediately. Secondly, your tending method should NOT be attempted with a screw-gate carabiner; and really should be done on the spine-side of the carabiner to avoid accidentally opening the gate.

Lot of comments about termination which should be offset so biner doesn’t rest on knot regardless of type

Sehr cool 💪

Slicker than owl snot 👍

Good video! Your tail on your knots should be 4x the diameter of your rope as a rule. I see you’re double tied in but I imagine there’s a time when you aren’t!

Look on jrb tree climbing and saddle hunting, jrb soft bridge mode, or jrb non jamming variant, they are self tending ascending hitch, and works better then a prusik

good idea, but try with a michoacan or a machard friction hitches, with the two ears into the carabiner, the rope allways goes on the midle / hugs for you man

Glad I didn't buy a ropeman. First I found out I could use a simple loop. Now I see you don't even need that. I'll have to test the biner method first to see how smooth it is. I know the loop method is pretty smooth. Either way the prusik is cheaper, safer and quieter than a mechanical device.

Look into a valdotain tress tended with a small pulley. It's much easier and won't jam like a regular prussik. It's very popular with arborist and canyoneer people. Also known as a VT

Anyway to show the double fisherman knot. I am using my old Trophyline saddle but upgrading to a rope tether and deciding whether to use the ropeman 1 or the prussic.

try a kleimherst prusik sometime . it doesn't get stuck as standard prusiks can .

What rope are you using for youre tether and linesman and you’re prusic knots ?

Your prussik should be smaller diameter cord than what it is used around in order for it to work. You risk it failing in a fall if it's the same as your rope. Stay safe.

What termination knots are you using on your prusiks? Is it just an overhand knot? A double fisherman's or hunters bend is generally preferred.

Brilliant!!! What kind of termination knot is on your prussik loops?

What is a good length for a tether, I am 5 ft 9 in tall the trees that I am looking at to climb are basket ball size or so give or take.?

Overhand knots on the prusik are a big no go... Double Fisherman if you must use a knot. A sewn loop is ideal.

Im completely new to saddle hunting. How would this be helpful for me in climbing the tree with a one stick? Very curious because I would like to add new ideas to make my life easier lol Thanks!

Well damn it... I already have two Ropemans lol

I hope im mistaken, but are you using paracord for your main prusik?

yes, cool idea. just please, be careful with those short-short ends of your prusiks. stay safe! o/

How much rope do I need to tie the prusik note on the tehrd? And what size rope are you using?

Saddle accessory companies hate him…

U should try a micro pulley

Have a look at the JBR climbing method. Also very 👍

Is that paracord your using?

You really should tie a bend instead of a knot for connecting the prusik cords. Those knots could roll.

jak ten węzełek się rozwiąże to jak wypierdolisz w glebę ...

What kind of ropes are you running here?

Am a arborist and I can tell you that’s a good way to f up your carabiner that your putting your life on spend the 15 bucks and get the right gear don’t by a cheap ass with your life line and if you watch this thinking about it don’t do you Ben warned by a professional climbing don’t do it

You might want to rethink the knots you are using with the prusik. Research the double fishermans knot for prusiks. Its a certified life safety knot. Also, research arborist techniques as you are climbing a tree and not a pole. Any goof can climb a pole LOL.....

Maybe less, I can go out and check if you would like

Hey check out jrb tree climbing channel he has some really great things on his channel

Please retie and reposition the knot in your prusik. Also on your linesman, your prusik should be a smaller diameter rope than your main line. Showing folks how to do something, as you are clearly doing things in an unsafe manner is borderline negligence.

LINEMAN THERE ISNT AN "S" IN THE MIDDLE

Everyone wants to make a video after owning a saddle for 2 weeks. Amateurs shouldn’t be trying to teach. Turned this off as soon as I heard “lineSman”

I use the ropeman on a carabeiner below my prusic on a carabeiner and i use my linemans rope as a backup bridge

Keep safe out there folks. Look up stationary rope systems for climbing trees. The stitch hitch would be better all you need is a ring. Low and slow on new gear and techniques. Just my opinion 🙂. Happy hunting.🙂🪓

Question...How you get the rope up on the tree.

Hey man you got the xop saddle? If so do you like it? Got one for myself so far so good.

G3D Figureaider thank me later
