I used the tree saddle this year along with a lone wolf alpha (hang on). I used the tree saddle in the early season, first 1/3 and the lone wolf after. I use climbing sticks with both. Depending on shooting lanes, I can get 360 degree shooting from both. The tree saddle is definitely lighter and easier to "take in" but both take the same amount of setup time. I have found the tree saddle is good for me when there are leaves in the trees but the lone wolf is better once the leaves start dropping. I can set the lone wolf in a holly tree or in a tree right next to a holly tree when there are no leaves in the hardwoods but if I were to do that with the tree saddle I would have to cut branches to make it effective.

I like the tree saddle very much for what I use it for. Same with the lone wolf. I do not/cannot sleep in the lone wolf but have napped in the tree saddle as I tend to use the saddle for much longer sits in the early season when there is more daylight. The comfort level is about the same for both of them for me. Not bad at all.
