Who uses a saddle while hunting out of there hang in stand. Ho do you run the bridge/tether
Same here, but I have the tether run under my arm as I'm sitting.Tether goes just above seat height and I sit in the hangon mostly. I make my bridge as short as possible and leave enough slack in the tether to rotate some. If I need to stand I’ll just loosen the tether a bit and stand up. Can lean a little if you want but most of the weight will be on feet. I’m mostly setting the stands so that looking away from the tree is where I want to be so don’t lean a lot but have done it some.

Truckers hitch a couple of those limbs with some bailin wire and it should shore up nicely.How about in a busted up ladder stand?

Not sure what the difference is between a 'real platform' and a lock-on?i bought a .5 this summer and love using it and saddle for long or all day hunts. used the .5 like a big platform. my crappy home-made platform is just about as heavy. i cant stand to put knees into the tree so i sit while straddling the tree until i'm ready to stand again. i agree with the poster above that its much easier to set a real platform than the lock on.
Not my earlier comment obviously, but I think he means a dedicated made-for-saddles platform such as a Predator, Mission, etc. vs a hang-on which has a platform, but is not only a platform and is certainly not designed primarily for saddle use.Not sure what the difference is between a 'real platform' and a lock-on?
X2. I run my tether over my left shoulder.I just did it for a week. I like to stand mostly but it’s nice to sit and take a break in all day sits. I set up normal and then lengthen the tether to sit. It the same as turning around with the your back to the tree.
