Enough is enough. I really wanted to like a pliable, soft-seat saddle but I just don't.
I've made treesaddles, tree slings, and most recently a padded replica of DaveT's but I can't get comfortable in them.
I've moved my lead line hook up point up and down the tree, I've tried short and long bridges, and this last saddle that I made was padded. I just don't like the hip squeeze. It certainly isn't unbearable, but I find myself moving WAY too much in my stand because I can't stay comfortable for too long when wearing one.
So, it is back to my plywood and webbing. I feel almost silly for having tried the other stands, this one is crazy-comfortable (for me).
