New Saddle

[SkwerI]

I usually wait a few days to make sure I have the straps adjusted right, then I cut off the excess straps and hit the cut edge with a lighter to melt the end so it won't unravel.

 

[MasterBlaster]

For sure! I don't wanna cut prematurely.

 

[MasterBlaster]

I think I've got it lined out and ready to go. It sure is a busier loking saddle than what I'm used to.

 

[NickfromWI]

MB, what rope do you use for your lanyard? Is that the Wall Superbraid or whatever it's called?

 

[MasterBlaster]

Super Braid, Nick. I like it, it's tough.

 

[NickfromWI]

Anyone have a new piece of that stuff? I wanna try splicing it.

 

[MasterBlaster]

It can't be spliced.

Don't you have a Sherrill catalog?

 

[NickfromWI]

That doesn't mean it CAN'T be spliced. It means "we don't sell it spliced."

 

[Mr. Sir]

Nice looking saddle. And it looks good hanging there with your bedroom toys.

 

[Bodean]

Great Butch, glad it finally came.

Whoa! burn!

I cant wait for the retort!

 

[sotc]

gnarley knot bumpers you got there

Those are my groundie "persuaders."

gnarley knot bumpers you got there

Knot bumbers?

 

[Frans]

Those 'bedroom' medieval weapons look cool! Just think, those types of weapons were actually used in combat. Nasty.

Knot bumbers?

bumping knots = cutting/breaking small stubs from the trunk

Very nice Butch. I'm interested to hear what you think of the floating d aspect of that thing. It seems like people either love it or hate it. I'm hoping for love.

 

[MasterBlaster]

I'm probably not gonna use the floating dee configuration - I already have that on my Weaver. I'm tired of my tee shirt getting caught in the roller since my gut expanded.

 

[MasterBlaster]

I just had an epiphany. Actually, I prefer a floating dee but I hate catching my shirt in the roller. The cure? Rig another rope bridge and use a micropulley. I'm pretty sure the original bridge will block my tee shirt from getting caught, I'll give it a try and see what happens. Super groovy!

 

[vharrison]

Nice saddle!

[inztrees]

I eas going to try that brige thing but never got round to it
so the wever braces work on that thing nice

 

[Old Monkey]

nice, i got my sequoia but havent climbed it other than to hang from it

I just ordered the SRT with the uppers so it don't slide off where my butt used to be.

 

[OTGBOSTON]

which uppers? you're gonna love that saddle

 

[Old Monkey]

The shoulder harness that comes with it minus the croll.

 

[OTGBOSTON]

Nice. I'm planning on getting the same one as soon as BostonBull gets off of his lazy butt and brings it to me.
