Light weight tree harness

[wiscbowhntr]

I am going to be heading out west for an elk hunt next fall. It is a DIY backcountry hunt in an area I have been in mule deer hunting in the past. I have seen multiple bulls every trip and actually have had some bulls in range, just no tag in the pocket. One tactic I want to be able to use is a treestand, but I am going to be bivy hunting and I count ounces not pounds when it comes to equipment. Is there a light saddle harness that anyone knows about? I would think packing in one stick and the saddle wouldn’t be the end of the world. Thoughts?

My tree spider micro + strap weighs 65.2 oz. I could prob lose one carribeaner. It's got metal buckles and padding and a relief strap. I've got a harness that is just seat belt material that came free with my first tree stand.. it weighs 27.5oz with the tree strap.

My black diamond alpine BOD rock harness is pretty light. I think they make one even lighter. I am sure one of the saddle guys will have a good recommendation

The black diamond couloir is super light, but I found it terribly uncomfortable to single stick in. I'd recommend the Apline BOD as well.

My go to harness is a Metolius SafeTech Deluxe Improved. Every connection point on the harness is fall rated...belay loop, haul loop, gear loops, leg straps, etc. I pair it with a sit drag.

So do you hook your lineman's belt directly to the gear loops on this harness?

What I use as well. Surprised it isn't more popular.
