New saddle I hadn’t seen...

[IkemanTX]

I had this saddle pop up on Instagram and hadn’t seen it before. I searched on here and didn’t see anyone posting it either.

It looks like the fleece saddles we used to make before Tethrd and Aerohunter changed the game.

I definitely want to see more of it. That underquilt looks like it would be a real circus trying to unfold it getting ready for a shot. I have an underquilt for my hammock so I understand the concept but it seems like it would be a wild amount of noise and movement at show time.

Hopefully he (the individual pictured) or the company puts out a YouTube instructional video or tutorial on how it works. That marketing video clearly shows they have the ability to do so. I’m sure that would answer a lot of questions that people on this forum always have about products. If it is for you or not your thing, I still say congrats for making something. Like any other company in this industry from ropes to platforms. It’s difficult.

Well that’s unique. Looks like someone rolled up a small hammock and hooked it into a safety belt.

I just watched this video after seeing your post. I had wondered what a hammock would be like as a saddle. Its cool how he packaged everything together the way he did. It's not for me but i have to respect the sleek package he has set up with everything.

Had trouble finding their website though... haha

Seems steep to me

Viewed the video as well. Like the old camo pattern but as far as the saddle, isn’t for me either. Too much fabric for me. I’m sure there are those out there that like the concept.

Two things concern me, one is a hammock would tear on even a small small fall so the riggers belt would literally be holding all your weight so that would hurt badly. Number two with all that noisy material and how big it is, I cannot imagine it being very quiet or easy to actually shoot from. I saw a video explaining the Drey as he calls it, and he didn’t actually pull his bow. He concentrated on how comfy it is and easy it is to conceal yourself... I will say it’s a fun idea in theory but I’d have to see it in practicality. Anyone wanna sew a riggers belt into an ENO single nest and video their hunts out of this season for reference?

I believe there is a camo company that makes that pattern. I saw it recently browsing camo companies. I’ll post the name when I find it again.

I think those are the drake old school Forrest camo.

I think those are the drake old school Forrest camo pants. Drake discontinued making them a couple years ago. I think they were for water fowl hunting. Maybe I’m wrong though

I'd like to see a video of him at hunting height on a ring of steps or platform hooked to a lineman's belt packing and unpacking the hammock into the pouch and see how easily that was accomplished. Seems like it'd be more difficult than standing on the ground. It does look extremely comfortable.

No more stepping thru ur bridge is 1 of the things they are calling a benefit....for 1...who really still steps thru ur bridge? I thought everybody would have figured out to put it on over ur head.....for 2, after 3 hard days of hunting and very little sleep u can't tell me that u wouldn't get the hammock material twisted up...put it over ur head and not realize it's got a twist in it at 4am in the dark. I've put my regular saddle on backwards and upside down on accident when sleep deprived.... luckily with a regular saddle u will know u have it on wrong almost instantly as apposed to that 1 which u would have to set ur weight into it before u would notice more than likely....the price is crazy high for what ur getting.

My first thought was man. I bet you could get a good nap in that thing.. but all that material would make me feel clostraphobic.
