I just bought the tree saddle but have not used it yet. Im sure you guys will have some advice for me. Do you use 4 screw in pegs? Seems like there would be a faster way. I was thinking of trying climbing spikes but not sure how comfortable it would be on a long hunt.
My friend made a strap on set of pegs to put his feet on once he is at the height he wants.
You have to buy 4 to 6 strap on steps, take them apart and end up with all the steps on one strap.
He uses the hang on ladder sections for ascending the tree.

i love the saddle. have always used the screw-in steps, but also have a set of climbing spikes. may try this weekend... if i do, i'll let you know how it comes out.
Where do you buy on of these tree saddles? I am thinking that with all of the oak trees here in S. TX that might be a good option.
I like the idea of 4 steps strapped together. I will try that thanks. Climbing spikes seem like a good way to go but I have not yet tried it so do let me know.Then I would be totally mobile. Just find a tree climb right up and strap on the 4 in one pegs and thats it. No carrying stands or ladders. The saddle is very light to wear.I think I will put it on before I even go into the woods. I bought min at the sportsmans warehouse but I thing any large sporting goods store will carry it. I paid $189.00 OUCH.
