    .5 and small trees

    I get what you're saying about the waste belt. I wasn't planning on running one at first. Anyone know if lwcg is going to make a new waste belt to go with their updated straps? And I meant kneeling on the seat when it's flipped up maverick. Sorry for the confusion. Arrowsquirrel and geofish...

    .5 and small trees

    Good to hear, KY. And thanks for the input, guys. I sit the majority of the time in the saddle and tree stand. Just trying to figure out what I'd rather have. The option to kneel on the .5's 18in seat but having the shorter platform for tree stand use. Or having the extra platform of the .75 but...

    Ah ok. You're pretty comfortable using it strictly as a stand?

    .5 and small trees

    Have you gotten to try the saddle with your new .5? I saw that we're close to the same height and I'm wondering how well your knees reach the seat. Mine measure about 18 inches from the ground to the middle of the knee so I'm not quite sure if my knees will even reach the seat comfortably. If...

    Dryad killdeer/mini drey or tx5 minimalist for hybrid setup?

    It really all depends on the tree that I need to get in. If it's right for the saddle, I'll always take it, but I found a lot of trees last year that were better suited for a stand. So, I guess I have to say it could be 50/50 for sitting in the saddle and stand. I'm short so I'm going for the .5...

    Dryad killdeer/mini drey or tx5 minimalist for hybrid setup?

    Anyone try both? Looking to pair it with a .5 stand. Really like the tx5 but am concerned about comfort for longer sits. I'm a sitter so I'm not sure how I'd like the shorter saddle width. I like how fast it is to deploy or retract the saddle. I've been leaning towards the mini drey for longer...

    LWCG stand setups

    Lwcg told me that they aren't making any changes to the .5 this year so the 22in post with the med seat must lock with the pin as well. I'm getting the 18in post anyway, I'm short. And that sounds good, bowtie. I'm definitely getting a thick seat even if I have to cut it out.

    LWCG stand setups

    I'd really like to see that, topdog. So, is that going to be new for this year, ben? Or is it the pin system they have for the 22in post now? So, you had to cut the seat cushion, bowtie? The thicker cushion? I wonder if you'd have to cut the thick pad if you got it for the standard .5 seat.

    LWCG stand setups

    Is there any reason I shouldn't go with the medium seat on the .5? Do the sticks fit the same? It still can frame lock like the standard seat right?

    LWCG stand setups

    I think I'm going to try this too. My cable aiders have started to close up on the climb up, making it difficult to fish my boots into on the way down. I also hate when I get to the top of my single steps and realize I pointed them the wrong way for stepping onto the platform. So that double top...

    I really like the rope belt and locking g hooks on the classic 2. Latitude is having a solid sale on it right now too. I've been using an h2 for the last 3 or 4 years. It's a nice saddle but I want to give something else a try.

    .5 and small trees

    What kind of saddles are you guys running with yours? Thinking about trying the drey/ mini drey or the tx5 minimalist. Leaning towards the mini drey. I'm also getting rid of the rest of my saddle gear and selling a kidney to fund all this, but I think it'll be worth it.
  13. Randy Marsh

    .5 and small trees

    Never thought about seat size for knee space. I'm only 5'6" so it's the standard post for me. That's one reason I didn't consider the .75 and a few other stands, because you can only get the 18" seat post in the .5. I think 20" or 22" would be too high for my knees, and I sit a lot so that's...

    .5 and small trees

    I'll keep the price raise in mind. I mainly want to see what the ata brings and that's only a couple of weeks away. I agree it wasn't the best video, they seemed relatively new to cam locking. There really isn't a whole lot else out there on it so I figured I'd get good opinions here. The .75...

    I bought 2 the other day, hah. Planned on waiting until the next sale they run and get a wicked deal on it all since I won't need it until next season. Plus, I'd like to watch the ata show to see if they change anything or come out with anything new.
