Ok, just getting started and I have watched a lot of John Eberhart's vids on the double panel saddle. And I am about convinced to give it a try, but when I called Tethrd to get some more info, they tried to steer me away from the ESS and go with the Phantom. And I asked about the Menace but they steered me away from that one too, pushing the Phantom.
I have actually just turned 66 years old, 5'10" and a little overweight at about 250 lbs with a 44" waist. So, I am little bit on the higher end of things. I was told the Phantom would still be big enough for me, but I figure the ESS would be also. So, anyway, suggestions? Recommendations? I am going to pull the trigger on something, pretty soon, but still trying to decide.
Eberhart puts on a pretty convincing show, regarding the double panel ESS, but then again, I know he is a lot skinnier and lighter weight person than I am. And of course, he has a lot of years of experience saddle hunting. I plan on using the saddle and teather as fall protection, while hunting out of some of ladder stands, also. I used fall protection a lot in construction work, but I must admit, I never have in the past used fall protection while hunting out of a ladder stand or even a climber. But I think it time for me to be a bit more careful, in the future.
