For anyone else that finds their website useless for showing what the heck this thing is, this promo video shows it a bit better:The bow spider system seems tangible of use.

This is a"sling pack" from Duluth Trading, that I wear slung across my chestHey guys hoping for a little guidance from the pros. Just got a Jx3 I haven’t figured out how to pack my crap in I’m hoping for some recommendations on how to set this thing up. I use 4 beast sticks

I'm about to break out my Fanatic set with the temp drop. Didn't notice an issue last year. I do find that I like to reach back and scooch the seat forward from time to time, especially if I've done any leaning.Trying to get used to the bulk of this with the fanatic setup has been tough. It feels weird once I’m tethered in to actually sit like the bottom portion is riding to high. Any tips ?

1-sticking with the JX3 Hybrid and Wide Top stick is getting better and better. I think I've fully adjusted to not having a cam cleat and I like that it is quiet to untie.
The latest tip that helps quite a bit is setting the rope on an angle rather than straight across the trunk. This has been in a lot of 1-sticking videos but I've never used the technique cause I didn't care to maximize each move. With the Hybrid it's more about making it easier to reach the tie off point without leaning way over and undo it. Angled rope helps a lot. I'm now pretty smooth and I climbed pretty high today without breaking a sweat.
The 3 step OOAL aider continues to shine while climbing, as does the wide top stick as a platform.
Tied a piece of paracord to the lower bridge loop gear loops on the left side and wrapped a gear tie up higher. Trying it out as a quick deploy holder for the HCMini. Seems functional so far. A little nervous I might bump it off though. Dropped a bow once with my Gen1 Hybrid using the clips. We'll see.
Just posting my journey in case it helps anyone. Gotta do something while I wait for Bambi. Only 87 more to go before I can join the killers club. I'll be 118 at my current age and pace.

It's just a JX3 stick with the platform and an OOAL 3-step attached. I don't have pics of it.The stick setup. And sure that too!
You’ve got me considering this. I’ve always used the LWHC as my climbing method/platform, but one sticking with a JX 3 stick with platform looks like it could save me a couple of pounds.1-sticking with the JX3 Hybrid and Wide Top stick is getting better and better.

A couple pounds (assuming you already rappel or you plan to 1-stick down).You’ve got me considering this. I’ve always used the LWHC as my climbing method/platform, but one sticking with a JX 3 stick with platform looks like it could save me a couple of pounds.
I have been 1 sticking with my JX3 and I love it. I think the JX3 makes it easier than a regular saddle. I take my time and sit a minute or two between moves, it keeps the noise down and I never sweat.A couple pounds (assuming you already rappel or you plan to 1-stick down).
Plus my bet is you'll prefer the stick platform to the LWHC at height. That silly bent tube is everywhere you need it to be and nowhere you don't. I can't get over how perfectly it pairs with the Hybrid. Which is why I can't shut up about it.

Once again, this website has cost me several hundred dollars. I just ordered a JX 3 stick with wide top stick. 40 feet of 9 mm sterling rope, mad rock safeguard, and three step aider. All in the name of shaving around 3 pounds off my gear load. I really enjoy hunting Public land in the mountains, but it is definitely getting more difficult each year, and each additional pound is noticeable. Hoping this helps.I snapped a pic before heading up tonight. Not sure it shows anything of note, but there you go.
1-stick trip up was smooth again. Loving it.
Platform stick rocked again. I spent time facing 3 different directions and never changed my tether location. I think the tree fork and the platform stick are made from the same piece of vibranium.
Didn't use my paracord bow holder tonight just kept the Mini in my lap.
I didn't see any deer, but damn I was comfortable, and it was a beautiful night in the swamp.

I want John to figure out the JX 3 ultralight. Somehow reconfigure the seat to make it much lighter, but still rigid enough to support the tree fork. The tree fork is an absolute must have. Shaving 3 - 4 pounds off it would be a game changer.It would be great if JX3 could figure out a way to create a platform using just that wide top bar and the least amount of material below it to secure it to the tree (not a full stick).
I'm envisioning using the Sladder as a climbing method (or any rope or other non-stick merhod such as bolts), but still using the platform given how effective it is. Basically I don't want to carry a 3 lb stick just to have a platform.
All you need is that bent tubing, which weighs 1 lb by itself and some way to attach it to the tree, which seems like could be less than 2lbs.
