My climber bottom is attached by a rope to the top...I'm attached to the tree, we all go up together, there is a rail that it around me, not much chance of us getting seperated...If we do, I reach in my pocket, where my cell phone is...
If the bottom breaks and falls to the base of the tree, I can sit in the top...
It the top breaks, I can stand on the bottom...
I do the same thing with attaching the top and bottom and carry a cell phone(even though I may not get a signal in some places). I also sometimes carry a couple scew in tree stepsin the unlikely event that somehow I fall out of the stand. I could then use the steps to climb back in the stand or to work my way back down the tree. Of course if the safety rope is adjusted right it should keep you from falling out of the stand. I may give this a try from Summit. Has anyone tried this?
