Does anyone have experience using a saddle with a climber platform? Pros/cons?

I used the top/seat section of a lone wolf hand climber most of last season. Pros- extremely light weight, easy to set up,
and easy to climb with. Cons- doesn't feel as stable when shooting around the tree in side pressure situations and have to look for straight trees again. If you're near florence I'd be happy to let you try it out.

Same as jtillery above. I climbed with the top section of a Lone Wolf climber last year. It's quick and very light. You can rappel down or just use the climber to climb back down. I tended to use the climber because I didn't have put up ropes once I was on the ground. I used an OCB buckle strap to tighten it to the tree more and address not being able to put side pressure on it. Only draw back is you're limited in the trees you can climb.
This year I'm going to start off one sticking. We'll see if I stick with it.

Thanks for the offer jtillery but I’m near Montgomery. Is it difficult to sit and climb in the saddle?

No, it's as easy as using a climber in my opinion. Good idea on the strap to cinch down the platform, may try that this year. I've also got an ultimate one stick I've used a few times but I can't get used to it.
