RE: Tree Saddle
I never used one.. So I can't tell you from experience what I think about it. But from an ignorant point of view I can tell you it looks like crap. And seems fairly dangerous. Don't think I'd use it if it was proven safe and effective.

RE: Tree Saddle
It looks alot like the tree sling that Chuck Adams used to endorse many moons ago. If I remember correctly, that one you used to toss a rope over a limb and basically hoist yourself up to whatever height you wanted to hunt at, but the seat/sling part looked similar.

RE: Tree Saddle
just got one a couple weeks ago. It it about as safe as u can get. u have a safetey strap around the tree as you are climing and once u get all set up then u take the safety strap off and there is no way u could possibly fall out. I havn't actually sat in it for a long period of time yet but as long as u have 2 tree pegs in the tree u could stand on u should have no problem sitting in it all day. I would have to say so far i love it. I'll wait till the season opens before i give it too much credit
