Ok so I’m brand new to the saddle world and still picking up the pieces. I will still be using my climbers some in trees I sit often. My reason for going with a saddle is for the areas where there are no climbable trees and for the super long walks. With that being said, after doing a bunch of reading and watching I thought I had narrowed down the climbing method to a few wild edge steps, 5 step aider and knaider/Swaider. But this morning I watched a video on the one stick method and I kinda liked the looks of that too. I will be using a platform and hunting from a variety of heights from 10-30’. The majority of the trees will be “funky” shaped trees and or a decent amount of branches. I would love to pick up a few different methods but with a baby coming next month and remodeling our house I’m stuck to just one. What are some pros and cons for each method with the type of trees I will be using? Recommendations of one over the other?
