Hunter Safety System Guardian 1.0 Saddle Hunting Kit

You spotted fresh scrapes on the far ridge and want to be in that tree before first light, not hauling a heavy stand through the dark. The Hunter Safety System Guardian 1.0 saddle kit is built for that kind of mobile, run-and-gun hunting.

The saddle weighs less than 1.5 lbs, so it packs light on the walk in. Quick-connect buckles let you get in and out without fumbling, and adjustable straps help you dial in the fit over your hunting layers. Additional leg padding adds comfort when the sit stretches past the morning lull.

MOLLE webbing gives you spots to attach pouches and small gear so the essentials stay close at hand. The kit also includes a rope-style tree strap and a lineman's rope, which covers the core pieces you need to connect to the tree and get set up.

The saddle supports hunters up to 300 lbs. If you want a lighter way to hunt from the tree and stay flexible about where you set up, the Guardian 1.0 saddle kit from Hunter Safety System is a practical place to start. It comes in green.
