Hey guys.. just got my Mantis, I'm 6'3 275... yea im a lil bigger than most of you but I have been climbing trees since I was 12. The public land hikes made me look into this option and I'm dedicated to making this work. I went yesterday, I just used a couple of screw in steps on each side of the tree but am having a platform sent this week which will help a lot i feel. I had an insane amount of hip pinch but most of my weight was in that saddle. At one point the back brace went under my butt and that helped an INSANE amount.
My question is has anyone sewn in a strap across the middle of the seat to adjust the depth at which your arse goes backwards into the saddle? I'm thinking if i do that and get the platform i will be in the money. Thoughts????
