The chain problem I solved-Go buy some 3/4od by 5/8id clear or smoke color palstic tubing 10ft long(lowes or home depot).Remove heat shrink tubing and the black plastic insertes in the stand-spay oil chains-tie wire or rope to something solid(pole)tread on new tube and tie end to chain-grab tube and pullover chain.Re-drill holes,the inner link only.The plastic tubing is much quiter and last longer.U can also buy longer chains for bigger trees let see summit do that

I still use my summits if I have a long walk or Im changing trees that eveing.But if im hunting in the same tree all day long im in my API
