Someone Invent/Manufacture This For Me.

Don't get me wrong, I think the Rut Roost is nifty enough. I just can't see it being very effective if downsized too much. But thats just me and I haven't any experience with it.

I know last time I rode a bike with my nephews I was quite uncomfortable before long....and then there's those who ride all day every day like they're in the tour de'france and love it. I guess there's bicycle seat shape, same as saddle shape is talked about.

When I said downsized, I meant the thickness of material used. The thing looks like it could hold its own in a fight with an A10 Warthog.
 
Make the fold up seat cloth with a metal tube as the frame. I had several hang on stands that are this way.

This works well for things like climbers, hang ons, JX3, etc...but I can't see it as a comfortable option for a Rut Roost type design where the frame extends between the crotch.

Okay so here’s my idea. It’s a one stick with a platform on top and a larger platform that can attach to the bottom and then you can use the top platform as a seat.

Wait, I mean it’s a hang on stand. No no no don’t leave yet I’m not finished.

So let’s say I had like a 22” one stick with a flip up platform on top that you could climb with, and at height pull up the platform and attach to make a small hang on. The OOAL lil Ambush is similar to my idea here. A guy would use something like the xop renegade hybrid saddle/harnes with it. I think saddle huntings peak advantage is being able to forgo carrying 4 climbing sticks into the woods. Could we figure out how to do this with a hang on stand too?

Look at this on YouTube (I'd paste a link but this old tablet won't update my YouTube ap):
"Huntig saddle climbing demo" (bob Brundage).
Now imagine that with the way the XOP or lone wolf hang on stand seat set-up works. Is this what you're thinking?

I like the two piece, but practical lone wolf hand assault climber.

Or a hybrid between the XOP hang on platform and lone wolf hand climber with a bigger platform

Or this "Diy summit mini climber for saddle hunting"
