I think they are closer to $900 these days for "kits". Seems ridiculously overpriced.just blows my mind how much $ saddle kits are still for what you are actually getting. Minimal material, some ropes, carabiner and an aluminum platform thats tiny for $600 hahah. Thats not even adding in sticks and other stuff you may want. I get it liability or something may drive up the price but good lord ill just keep on using a climber until thats not silly
I got mine very cheap with 5 sticks saddle and 2 platforms I paid 225 for mine. I'd never have one if I had to pay full price. It's a fad and fads are expensive. No difference then sitka or first lite there stuff is crazy over priced as well. All fads. What's funny is how many people I know with a saddle thats never used one. I don't use it much at all our farms are set up for the most part but there's always holes on plans.just blows my mind how much $ saddle kits are still for what you are actually getting.

I didn't pay half that. Bought mine with everything except sticks for $149. Found some sticks on sale $89.just blows my mind how much $ saddle kits are still for what you are actually getting.

Yep my set up is expensive, but under 10 lbs and i wear it all in and out of the woods atleast 4 days a week . I can be 20 ft up any tree in ten minutes and there is virtually no way i can fall. No sticks to fool with , no heavy cumbersome climber and zero noise!
Its the greatest thing since sliced bread to me, after having two major back surgeries with rods,screws,pins, and a cage, it the most comfortable and efficient way for me to carry,climb, hang, and rapell. I can sit all day in my saddle vrs two hours in a climber, ladder or hangon. The one stick method is the easiest way ive ever climbed a tree, zero effort or ability needed. If they would take the time to actually try it out and figure it out, most would be surprised how much easier and faster and safer it is, but you must trust your equipment or you wont like itLet;s be honest, the one stick method is not going to appeal to the majority of hunters.
Back to climbing stands, what's the lightest one out there?
For $1000 I need a much more comfortable seat than that pancake looking thing. I'm at 210 thank you very much. This swole physique just makes me look bigger.for only $1000 you can have this lightweight one lol althought it has a 2FIDDY weight limit so you may have to skip a lunch or 2
