In real world hunting situations when I am spending many hours in the tree, I find saddles take less energy and stamina than conventional stands. Once you get confident with hanging, total relaxation will be the norm. In the long run, I'm less fatigued after a day in the saddle than I am after a day in a lock-on stand.
Relax up there and muscle tension will go away and exertion will be much less.

Okay, thanks. I suspect I am way too tense.
