Thought there might be interest in a Saddle Weight thread.
Maybe this thread already exits somewhere else..?
I am new to the saddle life and have only been up a handful of times.
As a result, the setup has been evolving quickly.

What's in the bowl:
1 -Tethrd Tree Tether
1 -Tethrd Lineman Belt
1 -SYS Hauler ES
1 -HYS Strap
1 -Mantis Recliner
3 -Black Diamond Mini Pearabiners
2 -Ropeman 1 Ascenders
3 -Hawk Helium Ties
1 -Purple Carabiner (generic)

My whole backpack including sticks comes in around 23 pounds but that includes at least 5 pounds of camera gear.

I've weighed by climb/platform kit, but not my saddle recently. I guess I can math up an estimate of 13 pounds or so all in, 4.5 ish covering my kestrel, ropes, biners, pouches currently on it. 8.5ish for a luxiourious pack of 10 squirrelsteps and a ring of 6 more. everything needed to hunt up to 24-25 ft or so. I've still got a lot to streamline, and weight will go up when the mercury drops.
