I know theres a lot of chatter about 1 sticking with the wingman but is anyone using it with multiple sticks and platform system? Im interested in trying it ,i originally tried scout but it bothered my feet. First year at this and i feel like a separate platform is something I would like to eliminate
 
Well i broke down and bought one and so far so good. I climbing with either 3 or 4 beast minis and then add this as the top stick. It holds really solid no matter where i put pressure on it . It packs well on my platow pack, i hang it by the platform doesn't hit by back or make noise
 
Yes I have one and having some issues with popping sounds on smooth bark trees. Also not that happy with the way it packs on the Platow pack and tried a few ways already
 
Trophyline has great customer service,they answered today (Sunday)going to replace the Wingman for another.
 
It is the platform for me as first time saddle hunter. I not for heights so started with one LWG stick single steps. Now switching to Beast gear 20" double step and amsteel 2 step aider. I get up 8'-9' sub 6 lbs. I find the wingman with angled front to be very comfortable. Did 2 sits with my sons XOP plat form when leaning at angle my heals hurt even with platform set at angle. when I lean back on wingman ankles more square and can have heels off edge. That is my 10 sit review.
 
Im using 3 or 4 beast minis with the wingman and so far find it very comfortable. I also have the edp and love the platform but the wingman is more comfortable

I had a problem with the 1st Wingman, they sent me a new one and all is good. The angle is very comfortable for your feet and I’ve done all day sits with it. It’s a small surface area compared to my Predator but It’s good for me. Advantage also you can gain an extra 1-2 ft up over just a platform. Might sound funny but early afternoon when I’m feeling a little tired on a all day hunt, I sit down on it, make up on the tether /lineman’s rope which pulls me close the the tree and just relax and stretch my legs. Im 190lbs size 10 boot.
