Not to get you guys anymore worked up, but....... The little snippets of photos that you guys have actually seen is as Greg said “prototypes”. The secret “Red Squirrel” design aspect has yet to be revealed!

FYI I sold my platforms because they never went into the woods, not even once lol. I'm expecting the new platform will change that though!I too am excited to see this. I thought I was satisfied with my Kestrel and had every intention of sticking with it but......
I expected the platform to be good because @g2outdoors, @Erniepower and @redsquirrel all were selling off their platform a few months back. I took the hint and sold mine to counting on them to come through. Looks like it was a good decision. Lol.
Going to be a fun year!

Thats funny, I have one that I built with a bryer precision post and an old style lonewolf seat(not klemz) That is yet to see a tree as well-hell I havent even tightened up the batwing bolts yet....everytime I go out to practice I grab screw ins or a ring of steps...huh unneeded gear purchase maybe...again...FYI I sold my platforms because they never went into the woods, not even once lol.

I'm so excited about this freaking project! I can't tell you how many conversations I've had with dozens of saddle hunters over the years about how fisherman, skiers, hikers, surfers, rock climbers, roller bladers, and tide-pod eaters all have their brands! It's time that SADDLE HUNTERS have one too.
There's been a lot of talk in this thread about ditching this saddle or that saddle for a Tethrd Mantis. That's cool, and I certainly appreciate the support, but that's not the real point of Tethrd. Ultimately we want to represent the community and provide easy access for treestand converts. The barrier to saddle hunting entry is that it takes so much effort to get started! We can't be a sideshow or an afterthought anymore! For too long saddle hunters have had to hack together DIY projects, scour internet classifieds, and beg craigslist sellers to ship specialty items. All the while, saddle hunting is a superior system. It doesn't make sense!!!!!
Someone else brought it up in the thread, but it's important to remember Tethrd isn't a marketing grab of some big company that knows nothing about what we all do. It was born from this community, to serve this community. I mean we have freaking @Erniepower, @redsquirrel, @flinginairos, @BassBoysLLP, @putt4doe, @huck72412, and the Sultan of Sewing (aka the Titan of Thread Injecting) @ckossuth on the team!
Come June 1st I really hope Saddle Hunters get behind this project. The products are amazing, and the team is super talented. The only way it will work is if we have hundreds of saddle fanatics join the Tethrd Nation and start preaching the superiority of saddle hunting. I can't wait to see where this adventure leads.
June 1 - you'll all find out about that.

@ckossuth. This is a safe place. A place where we can feel free sharing our feelings. Think of this forum as a nest in a tree of trust and understanding. You can say(or post pics of) anything here
View attachment 4591 While it’s a nice picture I was a little disappointed. Show us more.
FYI - all pics are of prototypes. We won't have the first production saddle or platform for a little while longer.
We're still tweaking things to get them perfect for you guys.
