The Poor Man's Ascender - Saddle Hunting Tips and Tricks

The cheapest way to ensure smooth adjustability of your prusik. Also referred to as a prusik tender.
Pair with the Sterling 6.8 mm **T-Vac Prusik Line and the *8 mm Tactical Saddle Line for an ultralight, totally adjustable, saddle tether, or lineman’s line.

This is a slick one. And the one thing those getting into it should know is that this tender is not load bearing. You just saved me about $100. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you. This wasnt what i was looking for but its what i needed and didnt realize it

[@fitnesssolutions9780]

The Prusick is the ascender. The plastic d-ring serves as a tender.

Thank you for the tip.This is my biggest problem when climbing trees on Ohio public land. I really like my WE steps. They definitely made me a better hunter.

[@wildedgeinc.4021]

Thanks for the feedback, Mitch. Good luck this year!

If you use a Distel hitch instead of the standard 3-wrap prussic, it will advance even smoother.

[@johnvandijk3733]

Nice tip. Video moves along well.

[@wildedgeinc.4021]

Thanks, John!

CT is the Cadillac!

[@buckstop1031]

I purchased the 8mm rope set yall sell. Will this work as a tether and linemans belt?

[@mikenutto396]

Yes it will

[@TimberAnglinDude]

That is genius

[@monsterhog1118]

You can just run the line through the carabiner and it does the same thing

[@Kyrodan022]

I love the idea. But it does not move very smooth after being under weight when I use it. Makes me a little annoyed. Am I doing somethin g wrong.

[@small-town-southern-man3573]

Try a Distel hitch instead of the standard prussic knot.

[@lawrencelewis1036]

The Kong is better than the ropeman, but the CT is the Cadillac.

[@kingpingpongpow]

Man, I tried this and cannot get the prusik to slide at all. Didn’t work a bit.

[@kingpingpongpow]

Just kidding, I tied my D-ring prusik too long. All good now

[@zanetracks6592]

Indeed Prussics are hard to move once weight loaded. Check out alternate friction hitches online Distel and Michoacan are simple and "break" easily when loaded.

[@goober698]

Where do I get it

This is a 'tender' not an 'ascender'. Huge difference.

[@rjstewart]

I just run the tag end of my lineman through the caribiner like this: czcams.com/video/I6b1XwwhUI4/video.html

Oh sir, a black screen and nothing to see at all, only your voice is heard!

[@BlackWaterGuideService]

Lovely video! Keep up the great work. If you have a second you could take a look at my page 😃 ✌️

You guys would be billionaires if you would hire or just get one of the wives to work on production, get a better camera even just a new phone camera and a video lighting setup, and some wireless lapel mics, you have the superior product but it dont do any good if people can see what you are doung or hear what you are saying

[@zahn8219]

Not referring to this video obviously because this is good but the saddle video I just tried to watch you can't see anything same with virtual trade show
