[QUOTE="DownDeep, post: 1263592, member: 7329"] I take a "Whiz" when I get out of the truck before I go into the woods to hunt, and when I get back from hunting at the truck. I guess I just have a large bladder. It is not an issue for me. Your feet don't just hang down while in the tree saddle... you must have a limb or tree steps to place your feet on... So you can just stand up to whiz in a bottle, just like you would in a hang-on stand. I sit in my tree saddle, on average, 8 hours a day (depending if it's early season or late season and if the rut is in full swing, etc.... could be longer or shorter time frame). It can be [B]more[/B] comfortable than your lawn chair if the tree saddle fits you properly, and is adjusted correctly, and in a suitable tree. I think I have about 25-30 trees sit up right now for the tree saddle. I can usually make it up any tree with 12 or fewer steps. Here is the Math: (30 trees x 12 steps at $2.25 =[B]$810 for steps[/B]) + ([B]$200 Tree saddle[/B] = [B]$1,010[/B]) [B]VS.[/B] (30 trees x 12 steps at $2.25 = [B]$810 for steps[/B]) + (30 hang-on stands at $100 a pop = [B]$3000 for stands[/B]) = [B]$3,810[/B] I could get a really nice portable stand for around the same price as the tree saddle, but the tree saddle is just as comfortable and much lighter. I do have a pop-up blind (that I hardly ever use)... The tree saddle weighs 3lbs. vs. a pop-up weighing somewhere around 15-20lbs and still need to carry your [B]lawn chair[/B]. So I guess your right...there isn't really any advantage at all. And Yes... to each their own! [/QUOTE]
