GREAT TIP!!!! Never gave that a thought!!!!!! Another good thing abotu climbers is you can play the wind better. If its blowing from one direction simply move to the oposite side of the tree. Ive done this many times. Sometimes a tree may be easier to climb on one side than on the other so alot of times Ill go up doingcomplete circles to find the best bitting side of the tree. But Im gonan have to try the lag screw tip!!!

If you're not hunting on public land an eyebolt lag screw can serve as a safety device , drive one into the trunk just below your climber's cable after you reach the height you plan to hunt from . Once that screw is driven in it's nearly impossible for your climber to slip .
