Seen this before, and $100 for that thing. No way!!!!!! Not someting I' d want to be up a tree in, even if it was cheaper. It has to be restrictive in movement, and more motion to get turned for a shot. But I wonder if it would make a good safety addition to a regular treestand! But looks more like one of those great $ making inventions that never lasts long.

I have not seen that one yet. It looks like it would not be very comfortable. When I hunt I was to feel like I can sit all day, I even take a lunch so i don' t have to move at all. The biggest deer I' ve killed was at noon when the people I hunt with have all gone to the truck or to the house.

Pick something that you could sit in all day, move with no noise and plan on knocking them down while your friends are talking about what they saw.

I' ll go against the grain and say I wouldn' t mind having one. It' s not something I' d use alot but it' d sure be nice to pack with me when I' m spot and stalking in case I want to get up high and sit a trail or something.

As previously stated, it doesn' t look very confortable and would somewhat restrict movement. Don' t think I could sit in it all day.

Ive seen alot of homemade ones. I knew a guy who used half a tire tied by ropes. Its the only thing he ever hunted out of, and shot alot of nice deer.

I have one and use it in places where traditional stands won' t work. When I have used it I have never had the opportunity to shoot a big buck out of it. I could have shot some small ones but let them walk hopefully to grow up. In my opinion it would be a mistake to think this stand would replace your more traditional hang on stands.

Dont knockem till you try em. Ive never used this particular harness but i did own a Anderson Tree Sling up until I lost it a couple of years ago. Very quick and quiet to setup. I used it almost exclusively in or near bedding areas. I loved the thing.
killed alot of deer using it. I felt more secure hunting out of it, than a regular tree stand. Of course when I first started hunting I would shimmy up a tree and stand or straddle a limb to hunt.
Im going to get me one of these Treesuits and I' ll let you know how it works.

Im the type of hunter who dosnt like to set up stands because if some one sees it they likely to steel it since I hunt national forest and have to climb mountains to get to a wallow. Ive tried luging a stand up a mountain and over and thru deadfall. Its a pain! Plus I dont sit in a stand more than 3 hours. The main thing I want to know is , does it make your legs fall asleep cutting off the blood flow?

Westaner for the type of hunting your describing I think you would like the Treesuit. It doesn' t shut off your circulation because it doesn' t hug your hips. The seat has a flat rigid piece that you sit on that extends beyond your hips. Unless you climb branches and/or use branches or a crotch to stand on you will still have to carry steps.

If it works for you, thats great. But honestly, I would not wanna be in that thing for more than 10 minutes.

Where' s the back suport? What about trees with brittle bark that makes noise when you brush up against it? How do you pee? What happens when it rains and all that water runs down the tree into your crotch?
