I agree - - this sounds like spam.

HOWEVER, I am 100% sold on my Trophyline Tree Saddle. I've tried all types of stands, and it's my favorite way to hunt.

You must be young. That thing would kill me. Goes to show that there is more than one way to skin a cat?

Boy, I went and looked at that thingy. It would cost me $300 for a half a stand and then you still have to have a climbing stick or something to climb the tree. So If I wanted to be 20 feet up I have the 7 pound stand and probably 22 pounds of climbing stick to haul in... and then it's probably a balancing act to take a shot. You'd have to have something to stick you feet on to shoot in most directions. Just another version of that junky Treeseat that was floating around 3 or 4 years ago. OH, did I mention it's $270 and an extra $15 bucks if you want a second climbing belt to get around limbs etc. No thanks. POS

2 posts only, both regarding this product, seems like a plug to me. Again, I say it's pointless, being a telephone lineman, I would never want to spend any length of time in that thing. There is no way it has the freedoms that standing in a stand has. No way.

Also being a lineman,I have to agree,this thing looks like it could incumber anyone who uses it,I can see not being able to stand,stretch and twist every now and again ,your back could get really sore. Also the blood circulation your legs need could be restricted by all your wieght being put on your underside.

I'm thinking magic carpet. That would do the trick.....and no haul lines.

I didn't look at the product, because still NO LINK! Pretty crappy spam if you can't even put a link to the product. From the sounds of it I'm not even gonna bother trying to look it up.

In my spare time, I'm working on a transporter in my basement.

Ok, I checked it out. I do not want to spend the day straddleing or hugging a tree. And it doesn't look anywhere near stable enough to shoot from.

If I tried to shoot my slug gun from that thing it probably spin me around

.

And I think I could shoot my bow with feet hanging like that. That would take some practice to get used to.

For that kind of money you can get a darn nice climber that is really light.
