i think them coupled with a climbing system and cramp-ons would be the way to go. forget tree steps and ladders! just always thought about that...dont know how well it would work

the saddle intrests me...but if its not a active part of the day..or i just aint seein jack you will 99% of the time find me sawing logs in my viper ss. and i dont see how you can move around a stand easy and more quietly then i can. i can shoot almost 360 degrees in a viper. the only shot i cant do with my bow is hard right behind me. for me to miss a shot opprotunity i set up bad, and had a deer that beelined in my blind spot and right back out of it as well..which is unlikely. i just have mixed feelings about it..i wish i knew someone with it id like to try one first hand....you can review it all day and i still think its something that one would have to try to see what THEY think about it
