Looks like you have a leaker and we have a good informant. Good work guys. I'm in. I have two weeks to come up with a good line to tell the wife why I need this and I can probably sell some other stuff now that I'll never use.
 
Based on some of the responses about guys trying to figure out to get this around their significant other (wife) I can already foresee some problems arising for some of you. Here are some helpful tips:

Step 1: Develop a clustered, unorganized pile of your existing gear in plain sight, where your wife can clearly see it. In my case, my wife calls this "The Circle of Carl". At a glance, it always looks harmless and unassuming when she walks by. Do this now, while there's still time!

Step 2: Secure funds for new gear in any way you can while still staying married. You're on your own on this one!

Step 3: ALWAYS have gear shipped to your work or a single buddy's house . Never to your house!! There's no worse feeling than pulling up in your driveway and seeing your wife has beaten you home and the package you know was delivered is not on the front porch. Yes, she has it and the interrogation will soon ensue.

Step 4: Very critical!!!!! Pay attention! This could save your life!!! This is tied directly to Steps 1 and 3. Under no circumstances are you ever to take a new box/package to your home. Remember, by this time you have already established your unorganized, unassuming pile of gear that your wife is familiar with. If you throw a new piece of gear in the mix, she will most likely assume it's just some more of your "junk" and has been there the entire time. A wife will however, spot a new box or package in a heartbeat (don't ask me how they do it). Be smart, dispose of all packaging at work or single buddy's house. Keep all necessary paperwork for new gear in the Chilton's truck repair manual in your garage. (Wipe dirty grease on the cover to prevent wife from ever wanting to open it).

Step 5: Always maintain a high degree of vigilance when buying new gear. Live in condition "yellow" at all times! Our wives can be just as sly and slippery as the game we pursue!

Good luck and God bless!!!
 
I’m just going to tell mine I was picked as part of the field staff and was sent this gear to test. That will give me an excuse to spend more time in the woods also. And I’ve got great news for all of you. For the sum of $$$ you can be a voluntary field staff member also and post your opinions here.

When steps 1-5 fail use your children as an excuse. "Well Honey....the youngest is old enough to hunt from a tree stand this year and a saddle is by far the safest way to hunt from a tree. I really love my saddle I got last year but, I think I am going to let him hunt out of it and get this new saddle that is coming out, it's supposed to be a few dollars cheaper. Not sure if I will like it but, I'll get it just to save some money" Worked like a charm.

I have found several pics....but at the risk of blowing a launch for a group of people doing something really great, here is one I think is cool: and doesn't give anything else away we haven't already seen. Though it does let us know who the silent partner is...Obviously Patagonia...Ovbiously..

Looks like this will be more of a leaners saddle. Doesn't look like much fabric under his butt.

You have clearly thought this process out. My wife asked me for a new car 2 days ago and is researching now. I think I am in the clear.

That sounds like another great idea.
