RE: Tree saddle
yep, that is it Flintfinger. I don't have a problem trusting the structural design, but I want to know how comfortable it is after an hour or two. This does have a big advantage in that you can move around the tree to hide from a deer and it also serves as your only tree stand/climber that you need to buy. Yes, you still do have to set up each tree with screw ins, or use a climbing stick with screw ins at the desired height. You can also pick various heights in the same tree to hunt from if the shooting lanes call for that.
