Jeff,what inthe hell does me not securing myself while going up a tree, have to do with your obvious inability to grasp something as simple as a climbing stand. You continue to divert the attention away from your "beginners review", which was a joke, to something thathas nothing to do with the original thread. This is very typical of yourbehavior. I think they refer to it as defocusing. Which you are quite good at.
Initially, I tried to give you pointers on how this stand should be used. But, like anyone who tries to tell you anything, you became rebellious with me. This is always your MO. Talking to you is like trying talking to a wall most of the time. It's a shame. I am done wasting my time with you on this subject.
