Just pulled the trigger on one with leg straps. Now I just need to piece or source a lineman’s rope and tether. I’ll use sticks on both sides of the tree until I either DIY or purchase a platform
What mini platform did you order, if I can ask?Ordered one with the leg straps on the 7th. I think he was two weeks out now. Haven't received any shipping info yet. Placed an order for a mini platform for my sticks today. Should be set once everything comes in.
I finally pulled the trigger and ordered my first saddle, after 3 years of sheer indecision. I went with the H2 for price and quoted wait times, since they all seem to be more or less the same concept. Their quoted wait times seem to be very accurate. They change daily on the website and it looks like mine will ship on Day 17, which is right when they said it would (about the middle of this week). I'm still trying to figure out the platform choice because everything I've read about is either out of production or on a 3-4 month wait.

Check out Artisan Outdoor Fabrications & Metal Craft on Facebook. He sells mini platforms that attach to the top of climbing sticks. Just got mine a couple of days ago.What mini platform did you order, if I can ask?
Check out the Hawk seat. You can modify to act as a platform. Definitely need to ratchet down. I’ve tried my buddies and it works just fine.
Have you had a chance to set it up yet? I have a set of Lone Wolf Alpha sticks. I left a message with the guy to see what he has.Check out Artisan Outdoor Fabrications & Metal Craft on Facebook. He sells mini platforms that attach to the top of climbing sticks. Just got mine a couple of days ago.
I will do so.Btw. Would you kindly post photos of the saddle in use? I haven’t seen any photos of H2’s on this forum. Unless I’m missing something?

How did you modify it? Just pull the cushion off? That looks pretty easy to set up.
Thanks.
Thanks. I just ordered the mini-platform from Artisan Outdoor Fabrications & Metal Craft but I do like options and differnt styles to see what ends up working best for me.Yes. The cushion is detachable and not needed. It’s best to purchase better brackets to replace the Hawk bracket so that it’s sturdier than what’s currently on there now. The brackets on the seat are very small and will kick out under load. You can use the Lone Wolf tree stand bracket (below) and good straps to cam it down tight. You can I should’ve mentioned this in last comment. My apologies. Here’s link below for the parts. Hope this helps!
I installed it Friday. Just had to buy a couple longer bolts for my Helium sticks. Just had to remove my top two steps and then mount the platform with the bolts. Haven't tested it yet but it seems pretty solid.Have you had a chance to set it up yet? I have a set of Lone Wolf Alpha sticks. I left a message with the guy to see what he has.
