Good one Early In. LMAO. Seriously, I don't know if you've actually seen a tree saddle. But if you did/have you would agree that they are totally different- no comparison. Not trying to get you to convert. Just relaying the fact I love mine, and wouldn't use anything else.

If I walk without a treestand on my back for a mile up and down hills, I'm gonna be sweatin like hell anyways. I think some folks (maybe not any of you here), just wanna be different and hunt from a swing that's the latest and coolest new stand, try and be like Waddell. You aint gonna kill more bucks cause you're in a swing that lets you fly around the tree and shoot. I've always hunted with a climbing stand, API grand slam. I can get up higher than anything in the woods and see forever and a day (sometimes upwards of 40 feet if it'll help).....I bet you won't get that high in that little nut-cutter swing. I can doze off and not worry about swingin around and hittin my head on the tree or drop my weapon. And about the noise, it doesnt make enough noise to scare anything away, I'm telling you. You're just using that strap that's super duper quiet and when you compare it to using a climber, of course the climber is loud. But again, it aint that dadgum loud if you know how to use it. I've always done it this way, so when I do get to the stand sweaty and stinky, that's part of it, that's hunting to me, and I'm gonna sweat anyways cause I got a beer belly. If my stand weighed 40 pounds, I would still carry it on my back over that swingy thing. What do you do when you're not propped out on the tree leaning, do you just sit there like you're in a baby swing deal? Like just hang there? Or do you use a platform and stand when you're not flying like a monkey? If you use a platform, why don't you just put a seat up there so you aint gotta stand the whole dang time, then it would turn back into what it really is, a safety harness. What's the purpose of this thing, really? Just to be able to swing around the tree or something? Who ever decided that they need to be able to swing in the trees like Tarzan to kill bucks? One of them Realtree boys that knew it would sell to people that have to buy the newest thing. I tell you, I aint gonna be hangin up in the trees like a monkey with my nuts all scrunched up in a diaper! haha Guys I'm not picking or tryin to start anything, this is all becoming fun to me now and I know you all like them. I haven't tried it, I can't hate on it. It's just weird as h*ll and VERY easy to pick fun at. Good luck with them this year.
