I never used one.. So I can't tell you from experience what I think about it. But from an ignorant point of view I can tell you it looks like crap. And seems fairly dangerous. Don't think I'd use it if it was proven safe and effective.

Looks to me like you might just as well hang there by your safety harness and blow around in the wind.............Looks comfy[&:]

the website says that when you are sitting in a stand, things can fall asleep or freeze....i can think of one part of my body that would fall asleep wearing that thing

It looks alot like the tree sling that Chuck Adams used to endorse many moons ago. If I remember correctly, that one you used to toss a rope over a limb and basically hoist yourself up to whatever height you wanted to hunt at, but the seat/sling part looked similar.

I don't like the looks of the thing myself and think it would be exremely uncomfortable for anything over 10 minutes.

I do love seeing the Dog Faced Gremlin in camo though

just got one a couple weeks ago. It it about as safe as u can get. u have a safetey strap around the tree as you are climing and once u get all set up then u take the safety strap off and there is no way u could possibly fall out. I havn't actually sat in it for a long period of time yet but as long as u have 2 tree pegs in the tree u could stand on u should have no problem sitting in it all day. I would have to say so far i love it. I'll wait till the season opens before i give it too much credit
