I'm running this exact setup. It's hard to beat an Eberlestock x2 to haul it all.

I didn't spring for the ropemans yet. Figured I would see if I'm going to be able to do it first before sinking more money into it. But I can see that would be a nice upgrade and probably next on the list.
And I was so surprised I got shipping notice same day I ordered. So probably be trying it out at ground level this coming week long before the sticks arrive.
The Ropeman is really nice upgrade on the Linesman Belt and well worth the money. It is an ok upgrade on the tether in my opinion, but not sure if it is worth the extra cost or not.

I ordered one Ropeman with my saddle. I figured I’d use it on my tether and see if I needed one for my Linesman. Just assumed I’d use it more on my tether rope. Maybe I’ll have to play around with it and see. I eventually thought I’d get another but was trying to keep the cost down a little if I could. Also didn’t order the recliner yet. I wanted to see how comfortable it was without first.

For me anyway when I am climbing up the sticks being able to adjust with 1 hand is pretty convenient. On the Tether since you are up, you have both hands free to adjust when needed. A Ropeman is nice on both, but at least for me I would rather have on the tether if I had only one.
I suggest hanging out a lot 2-3 ft off the ground. Every day go hang out for 30 minutes or so and try different tether heights, bridge length, saddle positions, feet positions and really dial in your setup. This will be my 3rd year in the saddle and getting used to it takes a little time to get comfortable, or for me it did. I think where a lot of people mess up is they immediately climb up and then cant get comfortable or switch positions as needed and then they get frustrated with it. Just practice your setup and shoot from it and take your time and be safe! Also on the ropeman1 they're really nice on a linemans belt since that's what you adjust the most and ability to adjust with one hand helps alot. I run ropemans on both tether and linemans belt, but if I could only use one it'd be on the linemans belt.Huntress13 wrote:dannyboy wrote:I did the same this spring huntress.
