OMG
All the major support is still there may just cut a pice of aluminum the shape I like and weld on or just bolt with washers. It's about like the .5 seat now as far as comfort.I like it
Any idea how much weight you shaved?Don't knock it tell you tryView attachment 49871View attachment 49873 it its rock solid.View attachment 49871
No but it's a big difference and carrying with out all the seat hanging down makes a lot of difference for me at 5.4Any idea how much weight you shaved?
I stand most of the time any way and with rock harnesses lean like a saddle but really the .5 seat is not much better.Please take in to account.........KYhunter66 and I are both short and weight about the same as full 2 liter Mt Dew, so our seat size may not meet everyone's needs.
Found a nice pack for you guys with treestands. Heck, it would work well with a saddle too. Took the backpack straps off and one of the stays out. Weighs right at 2 pounds. Attached a DanO pouch to the outside of it. It’s a Kifaru lumbar pack, they make a smaller size as well. View attachment 49881
You will like it, it should fit perfect on the .5. The scout has the stays in it so it gives it some rigidity if you decide to run it as a straight lumbar pack. The website is a little misleading on the weight though. My scale puts it at 3lbs as it comes.Very nice. I was thinking the Kifaru Scout would be close to perfect for my .5 too. I missed the sale, so I'm going to wait on it. But, you've only added to my confidence that the pack is a super choice. Especially as I can run it as a lumbar pack with a platform.
Why not just rubber dip the front? Or stealth strip it? Or adhesive backed weather stripping? Just spitballing here.I'm it now with a seat pad I just made for testing I'm happy with it!View attachment 49874
Never mind, I think you were talking about the top of the seat where your butt goes. I was thinking about the front edge that might dig into you a bit.Why not just rubber dip the front? Or stealth strip it? Or adhesive backed weather stripping? Just spitballing here.
I like it more than the GIANT stock oneI like it
