@flinginairos does this.Anyone attach one of these knee pads to the bottom of their backpack or something similar such that its hanging in the right spot on the tree from their pack? Not sure how clear that is. Just trying to avoid having to attach one more thing to the tree if I can.
I ended up going with the foam pad like the one @g2outdoors did in the YouTube video.
It's a much smaller investment and I can always upgrade later if I need to. Trying not to dump more money into this if i don't have to.
Haha! I hear ya! My husband and I are always feeling a little guilty about spending money on hunting gadgets but really it's our only hobby so we justify it.Ah man, you are WAY ahead of the game if you can discipline yourself to keep something - anything - for an entire season or more. Plenty folks (me included; me especially) are always searching for the Holy Grail of saddle lore. This has a huge positive impact because folks on here and other places make truly great strides in innovation and design but it may not be needed by all - every time something new comes along. I honestly believe this website is revolutionizing the deer hunting industry, but it will take some more time for the advertisers to catch up and spread the word...that time is coming. As it relates to what you 'need' to hunt successfully from a saddle, it doesn't require all that much. I started hunting from a 'saddle' after reading a post on a different site where "Onehair" posted a thread about his wooden seat back in 2009. We've come a LONG way in virtually every facet of saddle hunting since I read that original post, but the fact remains - use something to get up to your hunting height, employ something to safely remain there until you get a shot, use a weapon that you can safely and effectively employ, and get your @ss down the tree safely.
Come to think about it, I owe you a heart-felt 'thanks' for making me remember this point. As an example, in the last month I've purchased 3 different methods of climbing a tree, it may have been more appropriate if I spent that money on a new backyard grill...
My overall point of this is to wish you well and I hope you enjoy that foam seat cushion. Next, buy a grill.

Oh, you know it!Glad to see another woman on here with the same vice as me! I’m always looking for new tips and tactics. I always say, it could be a lot worse...right?

Walmart sells a 1” foam mossy oak seat cushion that can strap around a tree.. $4.98 if you don’t have the money to spend on Sitka gear.Crye precision has pants with kneepads.
You should look into jx3 hybrid. It completely solves the knee against the tree problem.

I looked into this one because I'm not determined to get as ultralight as possible. Looks remarkably comfortable. Do you own one and is it as awesome as it looks?
