not THAT bad to sit in for a SHORT amount of time..

I don't want either of those words describing anything I pay money for to use while hunting. It isn't THAT bad to sit on a tree branch for a SHORT amount of time either. And that doesn't cost money. Just my thoughts, I'm sure some people might like it.

yeah i tried to emphasize the fact that i wouldnt use it or pay money for it. especially when a tree stump or even a branch is free! ;)

Just like I emphasized the fact that MOST of the climbers some guys talk about as "high end" are JUNK...as explained above. :eek:

I personally would need some sort of back support or my back would be screaming at me at the end of the day.[:o]

cabelas is 199 because they want to get them moving obviously they are not popular so they are trying to sell what they have in stock looks very uncomfortable

Seems to me it's a waste. You still need to get up in the air some how. Screw in steps suck the first time you set them. Then I don't know about you but I don't like the idea of my feet breaking loose bark to fall on the ground. Nothing like saying to the deer "hey look up here".[:o]

Ok guys I have one and I would choose my Oldman Grand Vision any day of the week over the saddle. It is nice if you are spotting deer in a field and you want to climb a tree just inside the wood line and put a ambush on them when they retreat to the woods after eating because it is quick and quiet. As far as long term sitting better get your back doctor on speed dial. But let me tell you they are the best thing in the world to have for hanging lock on stands just strap on to the tree and work with 2 free hands. High price to pay for hanging lock on stands though.

Secondly, you don't rest all your weight on the steps. When taking the shot/standing sure you'll have most of your weight on a couple steps...but people OWN THEM them say that they really comfortable to "sit" in....kinda like a hammock.

When you are sitting, don't you hang against the tree? What do you do with your feet? Do you let them dangle or wrap them around the tree? Wouldn't your legs go numb from lack of blood flow? I like to be able to sit back and relax when I'm in a tree. Sometimes I put one leg up just to change position once in a while. To me it would be no different than putting on your safety harness and jumping off your stand and hanging there. If you are intent on trying this please let us know what gives. Sometimes things work different than you expect them to. I could be way off in my assumptions. These are just questions that come to my mind.

Alias, you wouldn't be the inventor of this would you, by any stretch of the imagination? You wouldn't be the owner of the company, right?

lol....no....I just was wondering if anybody here tried it yet. Wanted a "real" review. Personally I could care less how some people think it. The original question was if anybody tried one. Seems out of all of the GUESSES I see here....we got one answer from a owner....Texarkanimal. I'll take his advice. Thanks Texarkanimal.

Livbucks...your feet would be on one of the pegs that you make the ring around the tree with. They wouldn't be danglin'.

I'll just stick with my old Cougar Claw as I have not found a studier platform yet. I just wish the damn thing had cables instead of that old style flat bar. That and that nice Loggy Bayau seat on the XL.
