Yep. Super secret news Wild edge inc may be releasing a new platform for saddle hunting lol. I highly doubt anyone would have a problem with 3/4 plywood being strong enough. You couldn't make it very large because the longer you make it the more leverage you will have to pull the top away from the tree or twist it sideways. I doubt you could stand up and turn around like you can with a xop platform but it would allow more comfort to someone using a few stepps as a platform.Great! Another count down!

Sounds great! Looking forward to seeing what you guys come up with!Hey everyone! Thanks for bringing this to my attention! We have been messing around with a platform idea for months now and we think we have finally gotten it down and know you will all be excited to see how well it works.
It is clear too see in the video that the demonstrator did not cam the stepp over properly to make it tight! The concept is there, however I would not trust plywood! I will keep you all posted on the release of our new platform attachment!
I'm a fan. XOP platform has now become my preset stand. This is certainly more mobile and lighter for me

Yes 3/4" plywood
I could not get my rope as tight as he could so i fished the rope out the top and back through on the other side which helped to cinch it better for me. I should watch his video more carefully and see if I can get it more like his.

I haven't watched the video for a while so take this with a grain of salt, but Andrew mentioned to me that he wasn't putting the stepp on right and it could be done better, so just cause the video did it doesn't mean you're not doing it better.Yes 3/4" plywood

swampfox looks great!... I am currently working on one myself... I could see 3 stepps with attached aiders and one of these platforms equating to 21 feet. This setup would seem to be very light and comfortable with the addition of the platform. I'm thinking this climbing system and platform would come in under 5 pounds? I look forward to more users pictures and experience with this setup...thanks for posting>

swampfox how is this platform working out for you? Did you get it to cam over tight and also how does it side load while leaning in your saddle? Are you still preferring it to your XOP platform? hows the comfort? etc. ... thanks!
