Greg, getting the climbing stick up against is not the problem. That I can do...getting the straps around the tree is when the problemstarts. (Large trees). Smaller trees both hands meet and the strap is passed from one hand to the other. The tree I'm talking about here is a old huge maple at least 3 feet in diameter at the bottom, the straps are barely long enough to go around the tree, and trying to get the strap end from one hand to the other is a wretch.
I'm like swinging/pendulum the strap and trying to catch with with the other hand...not easy and takes forever.
I was hoping thatthere is aneasy way to get this done!!!
