Non-mechanical, Adjustable Bridge Design for Saddle Hunters
Vložit
- čas přidán 11. 02. 2022
- An adjustable bridge creates positioning and comfort advantages for a saddle hunter. The design is inexpensive and strong, and provides one handed operation for the addition or removal of slack in the bridge. The design can also be used to construct a second or redundant bridge, to be used in conjunction with the one on the saddle already.

people like you.. they take the time the dedication the intelligence of seeing it a different way and videotaping it for all of us to learn. you sir are a rare man and I'm subscribing to your channel.
Thanks, John for this video. I have been wanting this functionality since I have been unsatisfied with my prussic based bridge. You always seem to be 'right on time' with your videos!
I think its gonna take 5 or 6 views of you're whole system to get everything. if I have a question, please don't be mad. I really like it.
Hey John, just wanted to let u know that I use my Kestrel Flex with the double strand 8mm Oplux on my one climbing line & my bridge that came with the saddle is attached to the other co-dominant part of the 🌳 I'm cutting that is a real red oak spreader. 20 feet between my unions with rigging lines also up there. The ability to just loosen up one climbing line to transfer the weight to the other one while staying connected to both has worked 👍. Hope your weather is cooler there & take care.
Amazing! Just what I have been looking for. Thanks for sharing. 👍
Hey John, I don't know how many times I have watched this video (as I watch all of your videos many, many, many times). I think my wife knows you and Nate Sellars (Average Jack Archery) by the amount of times she sees me watching. Especially when she comments, "didn't you already watch that". The more I watch, the more I learn. I found some 7 mm Sterling cord ( I had previously used as a rope mod on my beast sticks) and for as cool as you make it look on the video...it is awesome tied on my saddle. I guess I be making a trip to HD for a small chain section. Thank you!
Really good, John. Great illustration. Gonna put all to use as my new Teuf. 9mm Canyon Elite comes in!! Thanks!!!
John I’m a fan. Been waiting for diy adjustable bridge. Love this and in conjunction with JRB climbing hitch. Currently running old (very) foot portion of climber to ascend descend with my saddle. The second line is tethered to the foot section preventing that from falling. Ultra light quiet safe and allows me to alternate sit stand on long sets.
Thank you John you never cease to amaze me with your amazing skills in a world of knots! This is a wonderful adjustable bridge I will play around because I do definitely change my bridge length often! I've been Srt'ing most of the season and while I climb, I shorten my bridge and then once i'm at hunting height I struggle to loose or give my bridge slack because the swabish hitch is tight and requires 2 hand to loosen ! In that case I've had to take another step to put out my lineman belt around tree so i can loosen the bridge with 2 hands . So with this adjustable bridge i don't feel the need to do all that and should easily loosen bridge with one hand. Thanks again for this great brilliant idea! Will definitely keep you informed how well this goes for me!
Loving the videos great job 👏 👍 👌
My tethering bridge is way too long and it's very hard to adjust and not only that I don't want to adjust it because I want it set for a more permanent tether position when I get to maximum height and stay. But I also need a bridge while I'm climbing that is shorter which will be safer. I really appreciate you making this video. Thank you.
i love it😃 good job
liking your climbing system , but I climb to hunt, and obviously you do too, anxious to see how you make the transition to a relaxed and ready set up for hunting and shooting,
I just built my adjustable bridge,it is easier than it looks. I like it already and can't wait to use it.
Having an adjustable bridge has benefits especially comfort for sits.
Hey John what are you thoughts on using Sterling 6mm TRC for this bridge it is posted as having a MBS Rating (lb): 3,484 and a caribiner
John, apologies if I missed it - but what is the advantage of this bridge over a simple rope bridge with prusik and paracord tender? Both metal-free and one-handed operation
Hey John! Sorry if I missed it, but what length of rope are you using for your main line?
do you do personal training on your system?
It's like u took a feather & tickled my brain. I have that same saddle u r wearing ➕ I have others. One of the others has a bridge on it which I took off. This saddle I think was designed for those that want a light system with little metal but then carry several steps or climbing sticks with them which just adds to the weight situation. I just didn't feel comfortable using a climbing rope system with that single 8mm Oplux. The right side of the bridge was connected to a Sterling 6mm hitchcord that was 42" long tied right onto the right saddle mesh loop with 2 double fisherman's knots. That 6 loop English prusik had just a 6' Oplux running through the prusik with a figure 8 @ the end. Then when u r @ stand height u take a 8.5' Oplux Kiss system & connect it to the bridge b4 u remove the linemans belt. On that 6mm prusik u have a poor man's ascender on it to control your bridge length.
