They are 15”. I got the ones with the plastic bucks instead of metal for noise. 15” is more than enough but I can add extra sticks with them. I just got two more minis with aiders. I gotta get a bit higher in the late season than I have been getting.

You guys are pushing me to the edge.
I may have to order a stand.
I feel like I would lean toward .75 but it seems .5 has top spot on this thread.

I'm 5' 10" #220 wearing nothing but a smile.
If you could have a do over, .5 or .75?

I have a .75. Because I have size14 boots.
The seat is 20" so It does not work great as a saddle platform. The .5 with a 18" seat works better for your knees into the tree, IMO.

You should bud! Our setups are close it sounds like. I just use a alps little bear but have been eye balling the LWCG waist pack.
Do you happen to know which length of titan straps you bought and use?

Haha I must be missing something bc they look just like titan straps. Can you explain what’s different?

All this talk of straps and I had to chime in… When packing my Shikars on my .5 I now only use the cam buckle strap by itself and it holds them tight to the stand without issue. No more piddly straps to lose in the leaves.

I dont think you could go wrong with either. All day sits aren’t exactly luxurious with the .5 but it wsnt until like the 4th day in a row of minimal deer movement and all day sits that it started to be annoying. For what it’s worth I am not considering changing to the .75. I’m 6’1 210 with a size 12 boot.

I like having my exo pack to pack out a deer when needed and frankly I'm so used to it and use it for everything I just strap the .5 to the pack. I like not having anything on the stand itself and nothing dangling off the bottom.It simple and works for me. I do love seeing all the individual setups. Never know what kind of nugget u might pick up from someone else's set up.

I had no clue my mic was trashed and had zero useable audio. So decided to make a very short Doe hunt into an intense over dramatized video . It’s the doe from above do figured I’d throw it in here

Been reading all the topics on this forum about the .5. Seems to be split down the middle but I’m thinking it will work fine for me being im only 5’7.

I didn’t find my all day sits in saddles comfortable either but never tried one other then a trophy line. Trying a phantom now.

Think I’m going to pick up the .5 and use saddle as harness for awhile.

With my DIY sticks, I will be at about 15#’s and can probably get a smaller bag for gear.

I’m like 5’10 220lbs and with a Cruzr xc, all day comfort is no problem with the .5. Tbh if you’re looking for comfort sell the phantom and buy a Cruzr xc. I will keep my saddle platform but mainly for if someone else goes hunting with me. They can use the stand and I’ll use the platform.

FWIW i had the AGC and didn't like it due to it opening towards you. Same issue with the FHF gear harness

I got a marsupial gear harness, which opens away from you and can stay open. I love that thing.

Just throwing out another option/consideration
