    Sore Hips While Hanging In Saddle - Expected?

    A liger's stronger than a cougar, so it would indicate its stronger new bridge. Probably just a clever name riffing on the original big cat theme though.

    Sore Hips While Hanging In Saddle - Expected?

    Liger=lion/tiger hybrid. It's a real animal, but I don't know why the mod's called that. Sorry if you already knew that.

    The video showed him clipping the buckle, then folding the velcro over the top of the buckle. Maybe I misunderstood what was going on. edit: This is the video I watched...

    I ordered the onyx tonight. That's what my computer said to do, and it's best not to disobey the computer. It could make my life difficult :^D Seriously though, when I hit the random number picker, Deep down, I was hoping it would land on the onyx. It also has flawless reviews. I watched a...

    Sore Hips While Hanging In Saddle - Expected?

    I didn't 100% eliminate yours Scott, but I never hear anyone say how amazing they are, and it doesn't have a rope bridge. I've been pretty hot on using rope, cause a piece of rope can be anything. It's a blank slate that can be configured multiple ways, without any mandated design. It's also...

    Sore Hips While Hanging In Saddle - Expected?

    A couple questions... Anyone familiar with the Agility? Looks interesting, but I'm still not sure about the velcro straps... Related... One of the selling points of the agility is a segmented double rope bridge. You can set it up for full mobility, or have your tie in captured at the center. Is...

    Sore Hips While Hanging In Saddle - Expected?

    Well, one of the things I like about my current saddle is the chunkiness. It feels good when I put it on. I'm used to carrying weight around my waist(aside from the whisky, cakes, and nuts of winter :^P ). I've deleted the TreeMotion from consideration, and Petzl wasn't a contender. It looks...

    Sore Hips While Hanging In Saddle - Expected?

    There's something about the NewTribe I don't like the looks of, but enough of you have recommended it that it's still on the table. I think what I don't like is it looks 'light duty'. I'm drawn to the heavier strapping of the rigs like Buckingham makes. This time of year, I'm approaching 250#...

    I was looking at the regular Ergovation also. <$600 with the coupon. I can do that. Have you been fully suspended by rope for periods of time with that Scott? That looks similar to what I have now, but perhaps the geometry is different enough to keep from being squeezed to hard. I loved my...

    Sore Hips While Hanging In Saddle - Expected?

    Interesting. Seems like you could capture a ring on a rope bridge to make it fixed if desired. Any reason that would be a bad idea?

    Sore Hips While Hanging In Saddle - Expected?

    Why do you like the TreeMotion? I've been against those saddles ever since I saw them. They look plasticy to me, and they look like the edges of whatever material that is would start to roll up, bunch, and become unmanageable over time. They also look finicky to adjust. On the plus side, it...

    I was thinking about them. I'll checkout their site and see what they have.

    Not really. Separating everything would be a complete rebuild. It's all combined into a unit via stitching and rivets.

    Sore Hips While Hanging In Saddle - Expected?

    Well, I worked on the other tree today. Didn't finish. Got about as high as I did yesterday, and bailed cause of my hips. Had some time, so I went back up in my Camp harness. Hips felt better, but crotch was sore :^D Of the two, I'll take the sore crotch. That's just an irritant, and I can...

    Sore Hips While Hanging In Saddle - Expected?

    That sounds like sensible advice, and even the most expensive saddle isn't much money when it's making you money, and you're spending so much time in it. You could arbitrarily replace a $1k saddle every three years, and it would be less money than most pay for internet. Comfort punches above...

    Sore Hips While Hanging In Saddle - Expected?

    Well, if I end up getting something else, what do you all think of the Spartan? https://www.wesspur.com/items/sad140.html What I like about it(looking at pics) is the heavy materials. I like stiff strapping and stuff that kind of holds it's shape when sitting. Pretty sure I'll be sticking with...

    Sore Hips While Hanging In Saddle - Expected?

    This is my primary harness, and the one I was wearing yesterday... I've been super happy with it up until yesterday. It's fantastic for spurs, and decent enough for ropes, but it's perhaps not great for hanging in rope for long periods of time. I'll try it again next time I go up, and see...

    Sore Hips While Hanging In Saddle - Expected?

    That's probably in the ballpark of what it's worth. Mine's Chinese made, but it seems to be put together well, and has good features. Probably what I like least about it is the fairly thin back. I like the heavy materials on my old school saddle, with the thick leather back. It's kinda heavy...

    Sore Hips While Hanging In Saddle - Expected?

    Probably cause they can. A couple rigging plates, a piece of nylon, and a piece of rope. Maybe a $100 premium? It would be a better climbing saddle though. Mine gives you all the mounting points you want as long as you don't want more than one :^D That one works well enough though. I'd have to...
