Thanks for the replies guys. A few more questions. With your climber, how do you hook it up completely at the top (stand spot) and bottom of the tree before climbing? I'd imagine you'd have to for it to work? For ladder stands, the video shows them running the rope down the ladder from the top of the stand spot. Seems like that's how you would connect it then in those cases but I'd imagine you'll want to pull it off to the side at the top some so it doesn't interfere with shooting.
