uptill last week i pulled my jacket, bow AND PACK(small pack but well overloaded
)last week i FELT a stand snap in my pull up rope about half way up....my heart sank. i pulled it up quickly and smoothly...thankfully the rest didnt go. guess the rope aint rated for 20lbs lol. now i climb with my pack on..dont know why i didnt before...and just pull up the bow. muccccccch easier and no real fear of it snapping with just a bow on it....
You know...I thought about you yesterday morning. I had thought I read on here somewhere where you pulled up your bow and pack. I meant to ask why you didn't just wear it up the tree. Only bad thing I have to say about wearing it is that on warm days my back gets sweaty while going up the tree.
Trial and error is great, huh? I'm always finding better/faster ways of doing something after I've done them for a while.
