I'll admit it, I went all out into the saddle thing originally and sold all my stands but my windwalker...which I sold a few months ago and and regret. I've since reevaluated the time I have in the woods, my property(That I own that I hunt on) and my setups and started to reaccumulate the same stands I had in the past. I now have a LWHC, chippewa ghost(which I bought to originally fill the shoes of the windwalker), and original wedge loc, and a "d" shaped tree lounge
3 years ago it made sense, I had more time to be in the woods and was more mobile. Now I generally hunt 4 hours in the morning and 4 at night. Short walk in to my own property most of the time, or on our family farm. 90% of the trees dont have limbs until after 20+ft. I can be mobile with handclimber if I want, or just hang the chippewa at the top of some bolts. On hot early season days I can hang in the saddle knowing I wont have to change layers using those same bolts. I hunted from the ground a bit this year as well. I'm rally working to not limit myself by the method.
Honestly, the ability to hunt wiht a crossbow has changed my perspective a lot as well. I can setup with confidence a little further away in a more perfect tree and feel like I wont miss an opportunity.
