Is it possible to disconnect and reconnect to go around limbs?
Certainly going to look at integrating that feature. Has been brought up multiple times.Is it possible to disconnect and reconnect to go around limbs?
Sounds obvious that this needs to be a quick disconnect type system that can be done while just using climbing rope secured around tree in mid climb.Is it possible to disconnect and reconnect to go around limbs?
Not being sarcastic but then where are your 3 points of contact? I’m just a sticks guy so I get lost easy.Is it possible to disconnect and reconnect to go around limbs?
Just like when using a one stick. Knees against tree or standing on limb(s) needing to detach cable in order to get around. More advanced saddle guys and gals in here can explain better I am sure. I am relatively new to it.Not being sarcastic but then where are your 3 points of contact? I’m just a sticks guy so I get lost easy.
Jonesy....beware the jokes.....so many the jokes!Careful friends. Beware the grammars.

It is all good. I have a few myself.Jonesy....beware the jokes.....so many the jokes!
You’re my hero! Something very similar to the top portion of the old cast aluminum Lone Wolf hand climber. Just replace the belt with a cable, no post for caming over like a platform, just hooks for a ratchet strap or cam buckle on either side. No need for anything else.
So I think many would want at least a 15 to 18" deep platform that can handle side pressure when at the top. Along with your other aspects.
Plebe - why do you say this?? I'm a new JX3 user and I believe I want the platform in a fixed position so I can use it to push off on and move around the tree.The exception to that would be the crowd who intentionally do not want their climbing platform secured to the tree in a fixed position, so as to be able to move around the tree using the platform. (As well as the JX3 crowd).
I guess if one is used to heavy climbers the 4.4lb or 6.6lb water weight penalty isn't much. Is that how much water you southern guys have to bring? Wow. Genuinely interested.- I’d go for a climbing platform that performs a calculation when I discover a killing spot. This calculation would be the odds of killing a deer after having climbed a tree in that spot, versus killing a deer having stayed on the ground in that spot.
If it determined I was 80% more likely to kill a deer after having climbed, or less, it locked itself in an umclimbable position, forcing me to hunt from the ground.
- made of hollow tube that is sealed water tight, with an npt fitting on it somewhere to fill, sterilize, etc. from. Then I can carry a liter or two of water in it. Would sacrifice a small amount of weight for larger size tubing to fit more water to not have to carry a water bottle. Bonus points if it’s a solid platform that can hold 2-3l of water and still weigh 4-6lbs empty.
- pairs seamlessly with exo harness and belt to become a frame pack.
- no wider than 16”.
- all edges that are metal come stealth stripped, covered in fabric, whatever so they’re quiet slipping through thicket.
- you don’t do a preorder.
- you don’t use catch phrases.
- you don’t give people the impression you’re a competent and qualified individual to run a company that sells people gear that can help them kill themselves, particularly on the testing and technique front.
- you donate proceeds from each sale of a platform to the buyer joining a climbing and working from heights certification course.

I'm not questioning your statement, just want to understand why I would not want the platform in a fixed and secured position. Maybe I'm using it wrong?

I'm going to disagree with @Plebe ,a small, lightweight platform that can be easily be moved around the tree at height is perfect for me. Takeaway is you will never satisfy all (or probably even a majority of) saddle hunters with a single product.
Maybe he's like BASF, "They don't make the products you buy, they make the products you buy better."
What kinda grammers did you have? Mine always spoiled me with lots of treats and doing fun stuff.Careful friends. Beware the grammars.
