Old Assault with an XOP Maximus seat platform & cushion. Also has a Molle waist belt. 3 helium sticks cut to 22" with rope mods. The stand & sticks have enough silencing material to quiet an elephant fart - lots of paracord, stealth strip, & tubular webbing.
WOuld love to see the stick mods you did to those heliums... Wife got me a set for christmas and they're great for climbing but the buckles/hooks just make too much noise.
Check the diy threads all kinds of good ideas in there.. Also Davet has a few good videos on YouTube about this as well
Shout out to Davet
I dug up that thread and the videos on YouTube. great stuff and now I've got an itch to try a saddle...
You should! Took me awhile to convince myself to try saddle hunting but now three years fully committed to the saddle I can't see myself ever using a regular stand again. I sold every one of my old stands
I'm definitely looking to cut some weight and the saddles look to be a way to do that. I have never hunted in one. I got a couple of questions: How easy is it to put on more clothes or even get into a heater body suit? Do you use one stick method to climb up tree? What kind of strain is on your thigh area of leg and knees?
