Great video. Missouri saddle hunter here also and this was a good comparison. I run a tethrd phantom with hawk heliums and the hawk platform that attaches to the stick. Goal this year is to get different sticks and platform.

I have run with heavy gear but now I have the tethrd one sticks and the predator platform. There seem to be a lot of good options for saddles. What isn’t comfortable for you might feel like a lounge chair to someone else. Great video and your point is spot on.

The hawk sticks I have the same ones and I had the same problem with them kicking out so I put some paracord it’s a little more work but it works and hawk platform to I use a ratchet strap to keep it sturdy and I use a (everything you need) saddle love the channel keep up the good work
