Enter the . I have now put roughly 40 sits on this platform over two seasons, from early October humidity to late December frozen bark. Here is the honest, long-term breakdown. Unboxing & First Impressions When you pull the FLP out of the box, the first thing you notice is the sound —or lack thereof. It arrives wrapped in thick foam. No rattling bolts. No loose washers.

Unlike the common "cam-over" platforms (like the Predator or the Ridge Runner), the FLP uses a hinge system in the middle. When deployed, it is a solid, 11" x 12" rectangle. When folded, it collapses down to roughly 6" x 12".

The platform has a subtle, engineered flex—maybe 1/8 of an inch—but it’s not spongy. It feels like a solid deck. The secret is the angled teeth on the back of the platform. They bite into the bark like a bear trap. I have set this on wet oak, slick pine, and frozen ash. It has not slipped one millimeter. bushwhack flp

I weigh 210 lbs before gear. The first time I stepped on the FLP, I braced for the dreaded "diving board" flex. It didn’t come.

Verdict: 9.2/10 Best For: Saddle hunters, run-and-gun public land hunters, and anyone tired of lugging heavy, bulky climbing sticks. Worst For: Budget buyers and those who only hunt out of permanent box blinds. Introduction: The Problem with Height For the last decade, mobile deer hunting has been dominated by a clunky trade-off: Do you carry heavy, solid climbing sticks for security, or do you use lightweight aluminum sticks that flex and wobble? Do you bring three sticks for a 15-foot setup, or four sticks for 20 feet and hate every step of the hike in?

I have tried everything—from the original Lone Wolf sticks to carbon fiber one-sticks. I’ve been a saddle hunter for four seasons, and the one piece of gear that has consistently frustrated me is the platform. I want a platform that is large enough to pivot around a tree, light enough to strap to a pack for a 2-mile walk, and stable enough to take a weak-side shot at a mature buck.
