The ZOOK™ Tether — Saddle Hunting Gear
The ZOOK™ Tether is a safety rope that works well with climbers, and with saddle hunting.
The ZOOK™ Tether is a great choice for temporary and mobile hunting setups. Our tether is close to 8 feet long from end-to-end and works well with almost any size tree.
Our Tether 2.0 has a 4.5″ Sewn eye loop. 11mm main line. The Tether 2.o also comes with an aluminum carabiner.
Some people use a tether for hang-on stands, but we recommend using our ZOOK™ Line safety lifeline for permanent and semi-permanent stands.
Instructions
Instructions for Use | ZOOK™ Tether (3:40)
For Hang On Tree Stands and Ladder Stands:
- While standing in your tree stand, attach the ZOOK™ Tether above your head by wrapping the rope around the tree and passing the end of the rope and the prusik cord through the looped end to form a choker hitch around the tree.
- Cinch the choker hitch to tighten it so that the rope around the tree is horizontal.
- Once tight, pull down sharply to be certain the ZOOK™ Tether is gripping the tree properly.
- Attach the carabiner to the lanyard of your harness and to the prusik cord.
- Push the prusik up the rope until it is a few inches below the choker hitch.
- Test the function of the prusik by sharply pulling down on it to be sure it locks up.
- Make sure that there is just enough slack in your lanyard so you can comfortably sit down.
For Climber Tree Stands:
- While standing in your climber at the base of the tree, attach the ZOOK™ Tether above your head by wrapping the rope around the tree and passing the end of the rope and the prusik cord through the looped end to form a choker hitch around the tree
