Leaving the blooper and torture testing in the video let's us know you're not afraid to show us the good and the bad. Seems like a decent product at a good price point.
I wonder, if when you place it on your back for carrying in and out, the attachment for the four 1" sticks was on the top of the platform, would the sticks then be more secure held with the platform (since gravity would also be holding them in rather than pulling them from the clips).
The OCB buckle is the same that I use on my ROS so, that could happen with many problems. On that platform, you might be able to position the OCB buck within the hollow of the platform which I guess my protect you from that problem.
Spencer, yet another solid review. I was sold on this when I saw it and the great pre-order price. Have you considered using a full length rappel line and an assisted break device (safeguard, gri-gri) instead of a tether and rope man/duck incase something like your SNAFU happens 20ft up?
I've always wanted to use a rappel line and gri-gri but most trees I hunt here in NJ are not hardwoods with no limbs. Lots of cedars and oaks here just no way to drop the line after rappelling

If you haven't already,do a updated review on the two panel saddles. THANK'S for all your efforts.
Can't wait to get mine
Have a model with just the 15 degree angle and that is going to get my money all day!
Good job.

Which do you like better, the EWO UP or this? I’m looking for a good one stick set up.

Any idea when they are gonna ship.. I sent my money back in Feb ???
Nice wish it had wings for push off. But nice pair with some steps. Winner
I was thinking same thing. Put a step on either side of it and you've got a nice setup.
How much do you weigh spencer ?
Is it possible for 2 of those to be secured with 1 strap? For $200 you could step all the way around the tree. Oversized ring of steps.
Was thinking the same thing!
Can't see why not. Strap just runs through the middle.
Very good job of helping me decide NOT to purchase one of these platforms.
Glad that it helped you make a decision, that’s one of the goals.
