Hi folks - Just wondering whether the general wisdom is to wear the saddle in {distance of 1 mile or less} or to carry it? My pack is kind of heavy as it is...carrying 4 skeletors, 1 mission platform, kill bag {flashlight, knives, game bags}, 1.5. liter water, pruning shears and folding saw and Ozonics in an Eberlestock X2 bag. Not sure of exact weight but got to be close to 30 lbs. My saddle (Phanton XL), lineman's rope and tether are also north of five pounds, maybe closer to 10. - Going to hunt this early season with that set up, but thinking in the future of downsizing from Mission to LWCG the fix and getting comfortable enough with aiders to downsize from 4 sticks to 3. One sticking definately not an option for this year.
If I wear in the saddle, it is less weight on my bag, I am just wondering whether it is comfortable enough to walk in a mile without chafing or anything.
What is your experience?
