Hunter Safety System has long been known as the pioneer of the treestand safety harness industry. They’ve been building the best of the best in full-body treestand harnesses for decades. However, with the saddle hunting market continuing to boom, the HSS crew realized it was time to offer products for saddle hunters, too.Â
So for the fall season, HSS has just released a wide range of saddle hunting gear, including saddles, a platform and the essentials. But one product in the line built to compliment this saddle hunting gear is their all-new SlapStrap accessory system. Take a closer look in the video below.Â
The SlapStrap was made to simplify things for the saddle hunter, or treestand hunter, as they make their ascent and descent from the tree. It’s an all-in-one climbing accessory built to keep your climbing essentials front and center for a more convenient climb into the tree.Â
The SlapStrap features an internal metal band that slaps/wraps around the tree for a solid hold of your lineman and tether ropes. Think back to slap bracelets back in the day. That’s the concept here.
The SlapStrap is easily carried in and out of the woods. You simply wear it around your waist. This is the quick and comfortable method, but you can attach it to your pack as well, if you’d rather not have it around your waist. Â
When you arrive at your tree, you simply wrap the SlapStrap around the tree and pull your ropes from the side pouches for attachment to your saddle loops. Â
The SlapStrap keeps your lineman rope where you want it. There’s no slipping of the rope or dropping to unsafe levels below your waist. It’s all hassle free, allowing you to easily reposition the strap as you move up and down the tree.
It’s a quick and easy method that simplifies the climbing process. No more digging around in side pouches or your backpack. The SlapStrap keeps things handy and convenient for the climb.Â
Benefits of the SlapStrap
The SlapStrap covers a variety of needs, all in one slick system. The pouches on the strap eliminate the need for digging through dump pouches at your side. No more extras on your saddle. Pouches and ropes are front and center for easy access.Â
The lineman and tether ropes both feature what’s being called a “Tender Hitch Knot.” It’s a knot that may look like a prusik knot, but can be operated with just one hand. It’s got all the ease of use found in a Ropeman device – without having to buy a Ropeman device. It’s really slick, and a great addition to this design.Â
The SlapStrap also pulls double duty as your gear hanger. Molle loops and carabiner clips make this the perfect way to hang your pack, bow, and all the accessories you need.Â
The SlapStrap weighs in at 2.35 pounds and wears a price tag of $169.99. Check it out at www.huntersafetysystem.com.Â
