I hate knee pads. And yes, I have the ArcTery’x and Trophyline pads.
So, for the last 15 or so seasons I have used a cut down ground seat pad strapped to the tree. With strap, my thinnest one is 4 ounces and kind of cumbersome.
So, I was in Dollar Tree today and at the checkout they had some 6’ long pool noodles with a hole running all the way through them. I thought that might work.
And it does.
I cut it in about 15” sections and got 4 pads out of it. So, $0.25 each.
Added some Camo duct tape and and Amsteel leash and voila: 1.5 ounces of cushioned effectiveness.
For me, it’s all I need. My knees only hit in a small focused area. Once I get it set, it’s all good.
