"SITTER" or a "LEANER"

[Jefferson10940]

A question that I have seen come up here, so let's see how you spend most of your HangTime
Do you consider yourself a sitter or a leaner. I definitely do both but a greater majorityof the time I am a Leaner.

Pretty far on the leaner end of the spectrum. Sit or stand on my platform to rest. And when I say rest it's really more to relieve pressure points.

 

[Allegheny Tom]

Lean.

 

[flinginairos]

75% leaner, 25% sitting with my knees rested on the tree.

 

[Ontariofarmer]

50/50 lean sit
except with the JX3... 95% sit

 

[GCTerpfan]

50/50. Depends on tree and situation but most of the time I spend about 50% of the time with knees against the tree and the other 50% of time leaning. I hardly ever adjust my tether though, I just straighten my legs to transition from sitting to leaning.

 

[Oakridge]

I’d say about 90% sitter with one knee pressed into the tree and the other leg kicked out next too the tree on one of my steps. With a kestrel and ROS.

75 lean, when I sit with the back band on I put the tree between my legs most of the time.

 

[DanO]

80/20 - 80% leaning and occasionally sit to change it up.

 

[Plinker22]

Lean. I sit (legs straddle tree) maybe 5% of the time.

No sense in me typing all that out again. Same.

sitting on the platform!?!? I've never thought of that, when is hunting season? I need to see if I can even get down there and get back up without scaring every deer in the county.

 

[Kurt]

75% leaner 25% sitter.

 

[Deltahuntr]

Same as above

Comma police!

I do both and it really depends on the tree. But for the most part, if I am in a tree, I prefer to lean as I can execute my shot easier if I am standing.

Haha, no way, I thought you were a visionary! Makes more sense now.

Sit vs lean is a false dichotomy. I squat!

Seriously, I'm kinda stuck in an in-between situation where my feet, knees, and Heineken are all more or less evenly splitting the pressure. About a chin or neck-high tether. I hardly ever adjust my tether length in this position, and can sit comfortably all day this way.

Before I sat, and was fine for short sits. But an all day hunt would make my lower back sore.

Saddles are meant to be sat in

80% leaner/ 20% sitter
