Saw your Mention of the Tree Saddle
It has intrigued me since I first read about it. For the N. East it looks like it has some very good advantages, but I have never used one..
The LW alpha worked very well last season and I even got to do a few two up setups with my son. Very quiet setup and sit.
I like the rope idea on the new muddy sticks, but I have the LW for another year.
Hope someone has a little info on using a saddle.
