RE: what is that thing called?
Back a bunch of years ago,I used to have something similar to that called anderson tree sling. All I needed to do was make sure my lineman climbers were secure and simply walk right up a tree then hook it over a crotch (trunk/limb). I'm wanting to check out this new version but now being disabled,I'm not sure I would have a very easy time of it. Now I'm almost totally cofined to use of climbing stands,ladder stands,and ground blinds when stand hunting.
