That was my first thought too.
But the more I play with my .75 and Wolfpack. I am questioning why I need a saddle set up, big pack and EDP.
A saddle and the .75 in hybrid mode makes more sense.
A drawback to such a setup is weight and bulk. For destination hunting, it's a fine option. But if you scout-hunt, it can be unnecessarily laborious, even with today's lightweight gear.
I like to explore every now and then, and cover lots of ground. I may never choose to hunt from an elevated position then, or I might come across something like a thicket that looks great but need to climb above it to effectively hunt.
In this case, something like 2 tethers and a three step ROS isn't going to bog me down if I don't ever need to go up a tree.
But not everyone is apt to 2TC and hunt from ROS, but another option is ok enough and still not such a haul as a .75 setup.
It's all situation + preference. Really it doesn't matter so long as it works.
The treestand vs saddle battle is just cross talk.
