Fix for a tree strap problem
Here's the problem, I'm in a climbing treestand in a tree that is gold. I've seen deer while in this stand every time that I've been out. It's at a trail intersection where 3 trails are crossing, not 15 yards infront of me. The only problem is that after I get up to my concealed height, the strap to my harness won't fit around the trunk of the tree. It's too small. My harness and teather strap works great, but the strap that you wrap around the tree to connect the teather strap too is too small to go around the tree. Are there any alternative routes for this? I'm only 12 feet up, but at the same time I don't like being in my stand without being connected for incase my stand slipped or if I were to fall. Could I just use a screw in tree step to connect my harness too, or a nylon ratchet strap? Has anyone else ever had this problem before?
