Was looking to get a new climber, going with the Summit Viper or Lone Wolf, but took notice in these tree saddles. I searched around and didn't find much on them but was curious if anyone owned one or had any experience using one? I guess some people are in love with them. I don't really know how safe they look either. Any input would be appreciated.
Ive hunted from a guido's web....souped up version of a tree saddle...more like a turkey vest with a supportive back rather than a diaper with a sling.
For hunting I don't like it, at all.
For a two man filming crew (for filmer)...best thing since sliced bread.

You tried your best and you failed miserably. The lesson is 'never try'
That Guido's web thing looks better than the tree saddle but those are pricey. Pushing 250 bucks for a paddedchair with ropes. Overall I like the concept but think it would be hard getting used to. Some people really seem to swear by them though...
They are completely safe. I got one right before we started videoing all our hunts. Not practical for me as the hunter now, because of the need to have someone right above me. But...they are comfortable as can be (too easy to fall asleep, lol), easy to transport, and with just a little bit of practice, shots can be taken on all sides of your tree.
