new video on the harness system


Is it me or does it seem that having sticks on the sides would make the g-hook for the roll hard to attach? I do really like the suspender attachment for straps. The reduction of shoulder layers is a nice feature. I hope the make it in a configuration with a wait belt and suspenders.

Thanks when I searched I got nothing.
So now I have to wait on one more new stick before I can order my LWCG sicks?

Wait, just to be clear. LWCG AND XOP (basically sisters) are both making saddle climbing platforms. Anyone got any pictures or just expect them to be selling 1/2 of their climbing treestand and marketing it as a 'saddle climber'? If that is the case, I rather have JUST the lower part with the increased room.

I think it's the latter, and the Xop top looks a lot bigger than the LW top

So did anyone ever confirm, is XOP or LWCG offering a climbing platform or not?

I was using the army green amsteel at first. Once the coating starts to wear off, it turns into almost a weird blue green color. So I switched to the “black” which just becomes grey when the coating wears out.

2023 might be the year of going back to a stand since these new ones are so light. I’ve been in a saddle for 5-6 years now. I love walking in and being up in a tree with it. I don’t like how much movement it takes to get a shot in comparison to standing on a stand. I don’t like facing the tree the whole time. I can’t believe I’m even thinking this way after spending so much time, money and energy tinkering with my system and going to a saddle. I guess the best way to put it is that I grab the saddle every time because I like it better, until it comes time to try and shoot something. Someone talk me out of it!!
Do both!! I hunt out of a saddle and use a .5 as my platform. I can turn and sit when I want!
