anyone run into this comfort/ moving issue with your set up? And if so how did you fix it? TIA
A ring of steps with a platform helped me a lot.Hey guys. Looking for some input.
I probably have close to 10 sits in my Cruzr xc saddle. I am running 3 beast sticks with aiders and cheap hawk platform. Love how light and packable the system is (kuiu venture 2300). Coming from a lone wolf assault hand climber, so I am liking how I no longer looking for a “tree that works”.
Here’s been my issue: I find myself moving a lot. I’m not sure if I just can’t get comfortable , or if it’s just because it’s so easy to move. I run my tether about chin height. And there is some serious pressure on my knees when I am “sitting”. I am using just some harbor freight knee pads, but knee pressure is a lot (even for a couple hour sit). “Leaning” on a platform is blah - you are so far away from the tree I will undoubtly get picked.
I ordered the Cranford saddle scaffold. Going to get ring of steps a shot, should arrive in the mail tomorrow. I’m hoping that helps.

So I started to JRB last year. My anchor generally ends up several feet over my head. I use to run a chin high tether pre JRB. I discovered this high anchor is way more comfortable. I previously, pre JRB, tried ros. Bullman steps, bad, rotated on strap. Heavy ratchet. Hurt my feet. Went back to predator. Then JRB. So different I tried ros again with monkey steps and over center buckle strap. I put my feet on steps at 9 and 3 O clock. I sit with the tree trunk between my legs. I use the steps more like stirrups. I don't stand on them. At show time I do use them to push off to position. So you could try a anchor as high as you can reach. But you won't have stirrups.Hey guys. Looking for some input.
