Ascenders for saddle hunting.
Who doesn’t love a safety net? For the longest time huntershave been utilizing prusik knots in climbing ropes for safety against falls.While a tried a true method, prusik knots can be a pain for some and othersjust like to make things simple.
Ergo, the KONG Duck Ascender. Probably one of the mostpopular saddle hunting accessories to hit the market. These ascenders makeclimbing trees a breeze and offer the same security from falls that prusikknots have been providing for years.
These ascenders utilize teeth to bite the rope to keep itfrom slipping through, and with the simple push or toggle of the lever you can“ascend” without having to worry about any prior tension put on the rope.
