Certainly possible this or something like it has been done, just an angled variation on a homemade platform someone posted, his name was NutButter or somesuch. It has just enough of a flat section that you can stand on it or rest your feet flat when your sitting but the angled part seems more natural when your leaning back. The angles on the edge seem to work well for pushing off the sides.
It is heavy because it’s made of steel. I have another version that has a little more flat, a little less angle that I want to spend some time with. Once I figure out which I like best I want to have an aluminum version of it made.
I have not spent more than about 45 minutes on it at a time and in fact this will be my first season in a tree saddle, I’m no pro at this. But it has a good feel to it and it kinda helped me lean back and get comfortable in the saddle.
Anyway thought I’d share it and see how many people think I’m crazy. A buddy of mine only know traditional tree stands so he’s totally baffled by it (tee hee).
