Heath, this is awesome. Just ordered my saddle from you this past week and can’t wait to get into the world of saddle hunting. Keep up the great work and your videos. Thanks
Great idea what did you make the tending cord out of? Also I’m wondering if I can place two of them on. One behind and one in front. I use a 2 in 1 lanyard so I’m sliding the prusik both ways up the tree. I assume it would work the same I would just have to make the loop that goes above the Prusik to be a little longer. What do you think?
@@H2Saddles yeah i tried it out last night, it does work with tending the slack however it also allows the prusik to collapse and run on the rope when applying weight to either side so i wont be doing that up in the tree lmao ill just use it on the one side and on the other side ill just use my hand to slide the prusik.
@@H2Saddles hi is that 15" total amsteel length then? Many people sell buried continuous loops as the final length if pulled tight, so 7" may be right? Thanks! Need to get one for my tether, using a ropeman for my ladder man's rope.
@@marcg611 The length needs to be shorter than the distance between the bottom of your friction hitch to your carabiner. You want the weight to be transferred to your tender and able to push on the bottom of the friction hitch while there is no load on the friction hitch. Hopefully that makes sense. If you girth hitch the tender to your carabiner, keep in mind that you will lose some length in that girth hitch.
