A tree saddle includes a first panel having first and second ends with a body portion disposed therebetween, and a second panel having first and second ends with a body portion disposed therebetween. One or more connecting members operably couple the first and second panels to one another. A magnetic coupling system includes a first magnetic array disposed on the first panel, and a second magnetic array disposed on the second panel. The first magnetic array is magnetically coupled to the second magnetic array when the tree saddle is in a coupled condition. The first magnetic array is uncoupled from the second magnetic array when the tree saddle is in an uncoupled condition. The tree saddle includes a first profile when the tree saddle is in the uncoupled condition that is greater than a second profile of the tree saddle when the tree saddle is in the coupled condition.
