Have you ever looked into the short bridge they sale on their website? Just curious if it be better for a thinner guy not needing the extra bridge length? Thanks for another video. First year with my jx3 so these videos really help!

Rope around your waist is a terrible idea for a fall arrest device.

So I see you have bullman tree steps? And what else you us for feet ?

Just got mine 😄

Love the videos. I use a JX3 myself

Yours is by far the best review of this platform. Thank you.

This was a great video on getting to the tree. But it seems more important to be able to put that coldweather clothing on while at height. Could you please demonstrate that!!!!!

Your attention to detail is incredible. I was looking for ways to reduce slack and you nailed it. THANK YOU!

Thanks bud

Very detailed review. Appreciate the time taken to explain every feature and then showing us you putting it to the test. Watching you move around the tree helped visualize the practicality of each shot. Thanks!

Love your videos! You got a subscriber

Is it safe to say thjs is your favorite saddle ?

Sewed loop or scaffold knot better?

How does it work for a fat man ? Im 340 pounds and the weight rating is only 300 pounds.

Just got mine! Your videos helped with the final decision. Thanks! Set up question: I am new to saddle hunting. Coming from 15+ years in a Summit climber. One of the benefits, as I understand it, is the ability to use the tree as cover. If I anticipate deer coming in the direction of my easy shot (10 o'clock in your video), am I climbing and hanging as you are in the video? Or do I have the pole in between me and the target (10 o'clock) and then rotating for the shot? Hope the question makes sense. Thanks ahead of time for your reply.

While you’re hunting and hanging in the tree. Your using same rope and mad rock as your tether correct? Not switching to a traditional tether

I have the rebel. I notice the straps come into contact with the top bracket after toe camming. Have you noticed any wear on the straps at that contact point?

Could u do reveiw of your ring on steps using jx3 or different types steps or platform for feet ty

Thank you just started climbing and was completely lost

Can these be used on XOP lock on platforms

Love your vids. Thanks for the time you put in. You've sold me on the JX3 for next season. Hunted in a Summit Goliath for years. So comfort is still important for me. I like to get up around 20ft. Can you point me to a specific aider that works well with the JX3 steps? Thanks!

Once again nice job, love your videos.. I’d love to know what your summer time scouting consists of. Not sure if you’ve ever considered making a video of your routine and techniques. Just a thought! Thanks!

Just got my JX3. Im a committed summit user but wanted the versatility of a saddle but with comfort. How do you go about putting heavy layers on? Im thinking bibs on ground but was wondering if putting a jacket on in the with a jx3 is very hard? Thanks for the videos!

Great video I put my linesmen and tether under the seat straps while transporting. It frees up my two shoulder bags for other stuff. I also run the JX3 top stick and 3 Latitude sticks 1 with a 2 step aider and 2 with a single aider.

Really liked the video. Got my JX3 last fall after watching your review and have been practicing one-sticking with it this summer. I think it will be a great setup for me this fall. Didn't like the JX3 bridge, so I replaced it with a Amsteel bridge. It allows me to rotate much easier to reach down and grab the onestick. I'll be packing my outer clothes sandwiched into the JX3. Thanks for the video.

I would love to see you use the stick combo as a one stick set up I did it last year and would like to see if you had any advice as how you would do it

can aiders be add to these sticks

really doing a figure 8 crossing to tie to tree

You make great videos. You should try one sticking like I do it. Watch (ONE STICKING). It's a new safer, easier, and quieter way to climb. Called the S.M.A.R.T. Method. (Stix Mechanical Advantage Rope Technique)

I am leaning towards a CGM Cobra for my first saddle purchase this year. I am torn on the waist belt though. Rope belt with sliding knot. Webbing belt with D ring buckle. Upgrade to a Raptor buckle. Upgrade to a Cobra buckle with D ring like a riggers belt for a secondary safety option… Any guidance or suggestion is appreciated. Thanks

Hey got a question. If I were to opt to use the included strap and stealth taped the sticks, what would be the best way to climb up the tree with my remaining sticks securely attached to my saddle without having to constantly reattach the included strap? Seems like even with stealth tape they would still make noise if not reattaching the strap on the way up the tree. Seems like the only way to avoid this would be to get this SSS system.

I always just remember "Eye to the sky" with all belay devices. The carabiner connection point is always at the top or where the anchor point is

FYI. It's illegal to hike in groups larger than 10 in the caribou-speckled mountain wilderness

I just ordered a pair. They have 20% off this weekend. I thought I was subbed to your channel, but I wasn't... So I did LOL

Congrats!!

Nice timing, I actually used my knee pads for home repair too and, well now I am in the market for new knee pads lol. Going to be looking at several, but these were on my list. TY for the review!

Awesome video, thank you !

These look awesome. Did they finally make a right and left pair now? The originals the strap was on the same side on each pad

Very good review of the backpack! I've been looking at it for a long time! I'm currently using Dash! MRK 2, I was hooked on its functionality! Question: when you load the backpack to the full, including in the compartment where the sealed bag is inserted, is there a moment when it pulls back strongly!?

Like the new improvements,but one thing I did hear in a couple different videos is a squeak from a rubber boot sliding across the platform which could be alleviated by having traction nubs on the top of the platform. LOVE the fact that it’s a soft platform because my feet get sore when hunting season starts. When traction nubs on the top of the platform come with the the newly designed V4, then I will purchase this product 👍

I enjoy your videos, always well done. I have started a channel to try and help hunters be safe while climbing. It's called the S.M.A.R.T. climbing method. It would be nice to get your opinion. Hope to get better at making videos but it's about content for now. Hope you check me out. Thanks

OK if you could only afford one of those saddles which one would you buy?

Great review

Cool video, congratulations on a great bird!!

now i need a tomahawk to go with my battle axe😀

FYI, the scaffold knot is always 3 wraps. A two wrap is a poachers knot. Good video. In addition, the scaffold knot is a slip knot, which you didn't mention, and that is an important part of inspecting it for safety.

I’m looking at getting one of these used! I really like it!

Get 3 platforms and a ratchet strap, is what I might try

Have you tried a three step aider yet?
