I think being a mobile hunter I'm going to put the tree stand away and try the saddle. They seem to be gaining popularity. Easy, comfortable, and light weight.

I would love to have one, but they are pricey! On a side note, anyone watch "The Hunting Public" on YouTube? They make great videos.
When life gets me down..... you know hunting/trapping season is closed.

Those guys are a great watch, a hunting show on public land mostly that isnt a constant commercial for xyz product. Listened to a podcast where they talked about the process that they go through with companies before they do business with them.

Interested how it works. Climb a tree, secure a line, climb down so you can climb back up, err?
Not seeing it on their site, couple a twenty more buttons may help lol.

One would think I would learn to proof read. I knew what ya meant and thought it funny! Love the concept of the product the OP mentioned but no way my arthritic arse can sashey up a tree no more. Well maybe with help, PCR2 if I get to make it out to your place, which isn't looking good cause of my truck btw, could you gently cup my buttocks and push me up the tree? It would be not only appreciated but reciprocated.
I wonder if tap dancers walk into a room, look at the floor, and think, I'd tap that. I wonder about things.....

Use a strap across your back. It’ll take the strain off.
I keep desperately hoping that one day someone will call me "Sir" without adding "please calm down" or "you're causing a scene."

I just bet if a person gets one and uses it for a while he or she would not be too excited about them anymore. They look different but not very comfortable to be in for hours and hours.

I hunted from one all year. Some times just standing on the top step of my sticks, and sometimes out of a traditional hang on stand. Even in a traditional stand I spend the majority of the time leaning into the saddle or sitting in it. It's just more comfortable that sitting in most stands. Now it doesn't compare to a summit seat or M100 seat, but it beats almost everything else. Safety factor and your ability to shoot while leaning into the saddle make it worth the purchase alone. I bought a Tethrd Mantis and made my own rope rigs with 8mm Oplux climbing rope. Small diameter and ultra strong.
Nowadays it just don't pay to be a good 'ol boy.
