That's why I'm looking at the buck cat it's 219.99 looks fairly similar to the buck ergo minus a couple attachment points

do yourself a favor and just upgrade a little bit. It's something you'll use for two years or more. Better to spend more now and not regret it.
 
I see where your coming from. If I was dropping that money ide give the cornell rope saddle a whirl

I'm not a fan of the design. I would rather buy a saddle with everything out together rather then adding my own gear loops. I would only want to put a transporter or caritool here and there.
I would much rather have the treemotion.

Although ironically I use the suspenders from the MCRS on my rebellion Lmfao

+1 on suspenders also. I use the weaver ones on my Buckcat. Helps a lot when your slinging a bigger saw....or when you climb with everything but the kitchen sink on your saddle....like me....:dancing:
 
If I had another shot I would've even ponied up and bought the treemotion.

I look at it this way, why work uncomfortably in a saddle that will make the job you love miserable?
I hear you on that brother. I blasted $1300 on my ms461 instead...I'm not taking away from my current saddle now,but I sure would have like to try out a Treemotion.

Damn lol. I paid $700 for my 441cm lol
Then again I know the northeastern sales rep for stihl haha. I also got a 201tcm for $500 and change
 
I'm getting back into climbing and looking for new gear. I usually end up buying something in the middle of the price range then wishing I had upgraded. So if price wasn't an option go with the tree motion?
 
I just received the treemtion from tree stuff yesterday. Ordered their kit with safety line, sorry rope ( that's the sailor coming through), carabiners, ascender, throw weight etc. Nice people to deal with.
 
I have a brand new dbi/sala exofit I would sell. Have a double leg lanyard as well

For around $350 you could get a TreeMotion Light from TreeStuff with their online discount. I have ridden just about every latest and greatest saddles and this one came out on top for me. Highly recommended!
 
I'm looking for a new harness in around the $300 range. I'm trying to upgrade from my weaver wide back with the split D's. It's great for Spurs but not so great with ropes, very uncomfortable( especially on the boys) .

I'm looking into the buckingham Rebellion, avao sit fast, and camp safety tree access harness. All are around $300. I like the idea of the rope bridge so I'm leaning towards the buck or camp

Has anyone used these harnesses before? Feedback or other recommendations please!
My 1-2 cents: wait for a treemotion super light to go on sale and you will be in your price range. I was looking at the rebellion for a while but I'm not a big fan of Buckingham's saddles as they seem a bit clunky to me -- even the high end ones. All due respect to Buckingham, I just prefer a very lean saddle especially for pruning.

Just curious what you dislike about the weaver? I climbed with the instructors buck master or deluxe (I forget exactly) as well as some other very old ones. When I got my own equipment I bought a Weaver 4D (model 1038) and I love it. I really like the Leather over a synthetic material. But I am a big guy (6'2" 270lb). And this is just a hobby. My saddle hangs on the wall more than in a tree. I hope to change that.

Oh I see...I forgot they made them in that style. Mine has individual wide leg straps with no but strap. Looks like this.
