Trophyline (older versions)

I hunted out of the Trophyline for 14 years and switched to a flex this year. I like the flex but comfort wise there isn’t that much difference. I don’t think you can expect to be comfortable in anything when you sit all day. It’s just something you do to kill deer. I always laugh when people complain about comfort. It’s more mental than anything and if your first priority is comfort you aren’t going to kill many deer.

I agree I have all the old models and find the road trips to be the most comfortable of the vintage models!

I have an ambush......love to have an road trips model.....I've heard that they were the best ones made. The ambush isn't bad for short sits.

Thats why I have a bed of nails and broken glass in my truck driver’s seat. I do it in the off season to mentally prepare myself for hunting season. Oh yeah and I limit my bowel movements to 1 per week. (kinda like happy Gilmore at the batting cages)
 
I hunted out of my TL Ambush from 2006 until 2017. I like mesh so i replaced it with a KITE size 2. Also weight wasn't an issue because i don't run leg or shoulder straps so my Ambush is light weight. The Kite is more comfortable but that is not the reason why i switched up. The 3 reasons are...

A) I wanted/needed a saddle with a waste belt for climbing limbless trees when i use my LWHC and i wasn't going to mod the Ambush.

B) I wanted to preserve it in a way, lots of history together.

C) I wanted a spare saddle just in case.
 
Any one mod the standard linesman belt that was standard for older trophyline ambush? Would one trust speedy stitcher to mod it yourself or tie a knot in the 2 in webbing?
 
I still hunt out of the old neoprene Trophyline with a amsteel bridge and I still use the old linemans belt on certain occasions!!!!!
