So I got my first sit drag and did the mods I felt necessary. First I added 3 rows of Mille along the back and added 3 pouches to carry gear and eliminate a backpack unless I haul in camera gear. I made my bridge from 1” webbing as wel, and lastly added side straps and buckles to wear the sit drag like a waist belt.
Overall my first hunt with it went well, but since I packed in my 5.11 pack with camera gear I didn’t really cut much weight vs my xop. I only sat for about 3.5-4 hours, and the only uncomfortable part was my feet and knees. I don’t have a platform yet so I had to stand on my top muddy stick so my feet started to get uncomfortable so I sat most of the time with my knees against the tree so my knees started to get sore.
For those of you with platforms do you still sit with your knees against the tree? And do you use knee pads if so?
