Light weight saddle

[kenn1320]

Your dog gives a whole new meaning to "got wood". :lol:

I noticed you shoot thumb up like Fred Bear. I could never get comfortable with that style.

If that dog could only pull arrows! I had a lab that would find arrows that buried under the grass. I don't know if it was the smell of the feathers but she was good!

Sweet! Can't wait for a the steel poll review!

That's a great way to think of his stuff. I loved those videos of the minimalist saddle from the steel pole


And Ken, if this sling is ever too heavy or bulky, it's because we've regressed to the point of throwing rocks at game while running naked through the woods

That's how the little lady refers to me.... The steel pole lol....

As far as tree size, Swamp, I use the platform in any sized tree. If it is real large i just carry one out two steps. My platform weighs just a little over a pound more then a ratchet strap and five steps does and it can fit inside my pack.... But i tend to just strap it to the outside. How many steps does it really take to work around a large tree with ameristeps? My platform and one or two is all i usually ever need to use. The problem i had with ameristeps was they would sheaths shift at the wrong time and make noise and it was very hard for me to rotate around a tree quietly. Since i tend to hunt really thick stuff deer were often with 30 yards before i even saw them.... Didn't have time to move around a tree quietly. Now i don't have to

I really like the small platform idea especially the fact that you can strap it to your back pack. I would like to figure out a replacement for my Ameristeps. I would need to have it strapped on my back pack with 3 lonewolf sticks and be quiet. May just mount it on my top step if I can figure a way for it all to lie flat and not stick up too high or too low.

Here is the latest mod made to this saddle. I ditched the 2 carabiners and fixed length 1" runners sling bridge for an adjustable 1/4" amsteel bridge. Love this mod!

 

[Shane Wink]

Are you still using the whoopy for the sling bridge? Where are you with development on the saddle?

@kenn1320 can we get an update?
