DIY Saddle Ideas

First off, I'm new to saddle hunting. I came across this idea a couple of months ago and tried out my SitDrag from a platform and fell in love with the idea. I bought the SitDrag a couple of years ago at the PA Sportmans Show for hunting at my friends hunt club to hunt on the ground. My daughter occasionaly hunts with me so I don't want to alter the SitDrag I currently have. I've been tossing around the idea below to give me built in back support. I would use the bottom set of loops like the original SitDrag and then attach the top loops via prussic knots to the bridge.

I know my way around a thread injector so it shouldn't be too difficult to make. I plan on using some heavy camo fabric that I have laying around and using webbing from a treestand harness that I just tossed in my trunk since I already had a HSS harness. All of the dimensions would be the same as the original SitDrag. I'm also tossing around the idea of putting webbing between 2 SitDrags to be able to adjust the height of the back support.
Thanks in advance for any questions/comments/concerns about my ideas

Sounds great. You don't need much by way of back support. A small strap will work fine. This is what I'm using.

It's a stretch neoprene bino strap. Sunglasses added for size reference.
