Any word of any new platforms coming out? Thinking of upgrading from what I am currently using and seeing if it’s worth waiting.
 
My Treehopper "Tree Suit" is super lightweight, and for $99, hard to beat. Mark's quality of construction is hard to beat.

Have you used your Tree suit very much? Is there enough room to stand up on it if you wanted to?

We had one at the Carolinas get together Saturday. Definitely can stand on it. Need to sand some paint to get rid of the squeak.
 
So you had a squeak from it rubbing against the tree? I had a squeak testing mine out last weekend, but wasn’t sure if it was from the strap or the corners against the tree.

Correct. We had a bunch of people looking at it, too. I think it was the paint and could be rectified by sanding it where it touches the tree. I took the stock strap off and used an Amsteel daisy chain. It still squeaked.
 
Squeaks kill the kill!
Yeah, definitely an issue to be fixed on the treesuit. I’m trying some camo duct tape for now and will see if that gets worn out too much. I agree sanding ought to work too, so that’ll be next if the tape doesn’t hold up.
