Chris:

You bet. I promise I'll give you an honest assessment. You know me....lol. The fact that I spent a lot of money on it won't stop me from admittingI made a mistake(if, indeed, I did).

Right now.....honestly....I think its gonna be fine. (that's likely an understatement)

Is it the "holy grail" of treestands? Nah.

I'm thinking of little things to make it "better"....and I'm having good luck. I can't express how helpful I think that saddlebag is gonna be. It was worth $15 extra bucks.
