Looks like a sweet platform. In the promo video from LWCG, Cody said this was designed to "fix the instability issues that you'll have with every other saddle platform" Maybe I'm crazy, or maybe because I'm only 185 pounds I don't push the platforms hard enough, but I have never noticed any instability with any platform I've used. The Tethrd Predator is as rock solid as it gets, and seems to handle side pressure better than this platform does based on your test. The design of the Fix is incredible, just seems like they are marketing this as a solution to a problem that doesn't actually exist.

I’ve never seen someone cam a platform like you do, lifting up then pushing down them caming over?¿ tighten cam strap then stand on platform post then toe the platform to cam over into tree
@MichiganGreatOutdoors Ай бұрын
So this particular saddle platform is designed to be what LWCG calls “reverse camed” basically Its kind of the opposite of the toe cam. If you try to “toe cam” this platform it doesn’t bite as well as it does the way I show it in the video. The way I show it in the video is the way its designed to be done.

Looking to get into saddle hunting. Trying to buy good equipment the first time and not end up spending tons of money trying several different platforms. If you could recommend one to somebody who wanted to be “one and done” would this be the one, or any others to look at instead?

Hey Boss, have watched every video on KZfaq about camming the Fix to the tree. Got mine today, having a time trying to cam it over like the videos show, following the instructions of the LWCG videos. I might just need more practice, however, am worried about trying to cam it over while standing on my climbing sticks 20' up in the air. Have you tried to cam it over while up in the tree? your thoughts?

Are you still running this platform? I am slightly concerned with my ability to set it on a tree while up in the air.... Please help me decide.... I am switching to a mobile set up, but I cannot determine which route to go. I like the packability with the lone wolf sticks and platform as a system, but I am not sure if it is the best way to go for ease of use. I like the LWCG stands as well, but I can only afford either a stand or saddle set up.

Ok, so ive used the FIX on my last 8 hunts and Its by far the best platform ive used. It bites hard, takes a little longer to setup... Maybe 1 minute longer? I love it. It just doesn't move!!

I love honest reviews but I believe this is going to hurt the hunting community. We are really getting to the point of complaining about every single thing. Pack ability, size, weight etc. good grief most platforms are under 10lbs What is the big deal about it. Companies are really going to start sacrificing reliability to meet the needs of “packability”
