Best Platform To Add To Climbing Stick

[EJohnson]

I have a set of Beast mini sticks and would like to add a larger platform to one of them eliminate the need/time for a stand alone platform.
I like the looks of the EWO UP but their site says not recommended for the Beast sticks that have the holes.
Any other suggestions for a larger platform?

I’m not interested in one sticking.

I went down this road when I first got into saddle hunting & ended up finding I preferred a separate platform b/c it gave me more flexibility & stability. A stand-alone platform offset from the top of your last stick is really comfortable. Also a set platform handles side pressure well & not always the case with a stick with a big platform attached. Plus you have to pack it somehow….. those beast sticks stack inline then one of them has a platform on it.

I've had a handful of different one-sticks and the flat Scout is by far my favorite!
It's small but the way its built it gives you multiple places around It's edges for your feet.
It's hard to explain but where it doesn't have material is where I stand a lot of the time. I can push off the sides or the back of it and get around the tree better on a Scout than any other platform I've been on

I have used an Out On A Limb Scout on my Beast stick. Works well, and I like the simplicity of having the platform as part of my top stick. I think this is a good option for shorter hunts, but I’m finding myself moving back to a separate platform. I like the additional space and stability.

@EJohnson her is my setup this morning I can cover most of my shots with my stick & edp & didn’t have to pack ROS. ( normally run ROS & edp together unless I’m on sticks….

This. This is what I do mostly these days. Stable and versatile. With a platform, it also enables you the option to stand to get the weak side shot if needed. Not to say I don't use my Scout, because I do on some hunts into new areas. But I have been using the platforms more lately and actually leaving some sets in place.

I see the benefits of a platform, but think I might as well use my 1.0 stand if going that route.
I was thinking a stick platform would be great for short 4-5 hour hunts.
Thanks for the replies and pictures. Keeping the last stick even with the platform is a great idea to get around the tree.
