Purchased a .5 a few weeks back and have been tinkering with it and I think it’s plenty big so I’m going to sell my predator XL platform and try .5 all next year with a killdeer harness. Will keep saddle around just in case.
3 DIY sticks plus 1 Aider, .5 and killdeer will put me around 13-14#’s and pack up nicely. Will use my waist Fanny thing during early season and may switch to Kuiu venture when more layers are needed.
All of this because I just like sitting. A saddle did cost me a good buck last year but I think it was on me for not toying with bridge height as soon as I got in stand. I just never really was super comfortable in it and feet hurt a ton. Hoping being able to stretch out in similar fashion with killdeer plus the sitting angle will be the ticket for me
I think that is what my set up will be for next year as well. Trying to decide which RCH type I may want to try and killdeer is near the top.
I used a killdeer this year and it was awesome. I’d spring for the 8mm ropes too. The whole set up was very light and slick.
With a stand? Or saddle?
