You can sit that long in one just fine. Heck, you can stand, kneel, squat, hang, rest on your knees, and likely some other positions from the saddle. I’ve not got uncomfortable yet. VERY limited days in one but I’ve sat for long durations when I did. I stayed in one almost 5 hours while taking a guest. I just sat above him while he was in a ladder. No problem.

What's your set up and approximate cost?
I’ve got a Tethrd Ultralock, which includes the shoulder straps. I haven’t used them, but I got them in case comfort was lacking. Really don’t see the need in them. The Ultralock is like a two panel saddle. You can get a lot of support from it. I use the one sticks (weigh 16 oz each). I really need 5 of them. Been using 4. I may go with an aider and just keep using 4. I have the Predator V composite XL platform and carry bag. The steps strap on to the back no problem. 8 mm tether and lineman’s rope.

You’ll need to catch all that on sale or be prepared for sticker shock. 😁
It is expensive, but it sure beats buying multiple lockons and sets of sticks. Take it anywhere and be up a tree in no time.
