Greetings! I have been mulling over treestand choices for some time now. Up in the U.P. we usually used ladders but now that I am in Illinois with some different tree types, I would like to be a little more mobile. Obviously, a climber is the way to go for this. What I want to know is...how hard is it to get up a tree with one of these? I'm a big dude so I was looking at the Summit Goliath SS for my climber (potentially). Can anyone provide some insight on these things. I'ma little nervous about the whole thing asI have never used one before and really don't know what to expect. Any input is greatly appreciated.
