So hear me out. I’ve finally got my whole setup for the year.
Kestrel flex
3 hawk heliums
Predator xl
Sterling oplux rope/Kong duck x2
Current setup is 18lbs. A summit viper is 20. I was very uncomfortable using sticks last year. I hunted from a saddle maybe ten times. I almost fell out of a tree when coming off my platform and accidentally knocked the strap on my helium loose and it fell as I stepped on. Thank god I was still in my tether!
Now I’m in much better shape than last year. I’ve lost around 80lbs since last deer season. However, I know from experience how comfy a summit is. I’m comfortable climbing in one. Why should I stick with saddles? What am I going to gain over switching to a summit viper? I don’t get into the crazy trees because I’m barely comfortable climbing a regular tree with my sticks and I know I can do an all day sit in a summit.
