Hello from Middle Tennessee! I have been saddle hunting for 5 years. My first saddle was a Tethrd Mantis and this year I got a used (very little) Tethrd Phantom. I started out with modified Hawk Heliums and a Predator platform. Still using the platform but am transitioning into one-sticking with my platform and a modified Hawk Helium stick with two step aider. I am interested in the EWO one stick system all in one piece one stick. I am a little leery of that system because I doubt that the angled (small) platform is as comfortable as my larger platform. So any insight into the comfort of hunting atop that smaller platform is appreciated. I love the mobility of saddle hunting and the freedom of hanging in trees.
 
Welcome from Michigan.
My only complaint is for the smaller one stick platform would be the inability to stand up. Getting my saddle set just right after a climb sometimes requires taking the pressure off, and I find that hard to do with the small platform. Early season 3-4 hr hunt I can deal. But not all day..
