Agrea...this asumes you are hitting the brush in the dark of morning and leaving in the dark of evening when its harder to see obsticles that will hang up your gear.. plus going far.may even jump an animal on the way in then just wait on the ground for a shot at light , then make the harvest without even useing your tree gear...even more reasons for ultra light, ultra compact ,and ultra quiet gear meaning you can pack more creature comforts and more cool ultralight gadgets as a gear junkie.its a garontee that if every product you could posibly use for a hunt was lighter and worked just as well down to the boots ,packs and layering system,even camera gear and the camera its self saddle hunters will want it and spend money on it even if they have sufficiant heavyer gear allready....like changing the strap out on a stick for amsteal.ha ha ha haaahhh...with 2tc the guys who like bigger heavyer platforms wont have other heavy stuff to clang it on and half the weight and if they dont mind the weight or bulk and possible click or clang then a climbing stand or any other stand makes just as much sence even without a two system saddle hybrid..2 things can be true at the same time.i agea with you compleatly
