My saddle arrived today

[Just1more]

My Tethrd saddle arrived today. The weather was crap this afternoon, so I didn’t have time to try it out. I’m excited to get up a tree in this thing and let some arrows fly! View attachment 4650540

nice box

I know it! It’s a little bit uncomfortable to wear!
I got the Tethrd Phantom, 11mm lineman’s, 11mm tether, ropeman ascender, and 2 Sys haulers.
I’ll post some pics of it next time I get it out.

When I looked I thought the exact same thing

24/48, any chance you’ve weighed the entire kit? Been wondering what they wind up, I’m sure it’s a little different for each persons set up. Are you using any extenders for the sticks?

I have not weighed it yet. I’ve added a few items to it to suit my needs and preferences. I’ll weight the entire setup this week and let you know.

My climbing sticks got a new camo paint job today. View attachment 4681642

Instead of a paint job you might have been better off with stealth strips. Cutting down on metal on metal noise is key. Makes the whole process much quieter. Paint job does look slick though.

Thanks.
I looked at those, but wasn’t interested in putting them on the Hawk Sticks. I had all the paint in my garage already, so I didn’t come out of pocket for anything. I’ll be upgrading my sticks later on this season and will likely buy them then.

My Tethrd Phantom saddle arrived.
I’m running a set of (3) Hawk Helium sticks and Hawk Platform. I put a paracord wrap on the platform to give my boots a little bit more grip. I’ll eventually replace it with a Tethrd XL platform. I’ve added some XOP holsters so that I can attach 2 of the sticks to my saddle when ascending/descending the tree. The first one will be hung from ground level, so no need for more.
I also got an accessory hanger for my bow and a water bottle pouch that will adjust out to fit anything up to a Nalgene sized bottle. If I add a suspender kit to it I’ll put a Hardside Hydration Swig Rig on my Nalgene bottle so I don’t have to worry about removing it to get a drink.
(If y’all haven’t seen these they are awesome) That’s still up in the air for now as I don’t drink much water once I’m up in a tree. I haven’t weighed the entire setup yet, but it’s still pretty light.

Nice kit!

Nice kit!

Thanks!
I tied up 2 different sets of aiders today. I used a piece of pex tubing on each step to have something rigid to put my foot on.
One is a single step, the other one has 2 steps. I’m going to set up with both and see which is better for me.
My main concern is keeping the daisy chain or the strap for the bottom stick low enough that it is still easy to reach and isn’t a pain to set up.
The top of my bottom stick is right at 6 feet high with a single step aider.

I read the title, looked at the first picture and thought, "That must be one helluva horse to wear that saddle!"
