I'm telling ya a climber that is easy to take in and out of the woods is worth 1000 times it's price tag. Learn to use it and get confidence in it. No one says you have to go 30 ft up in a tree. Try going 10 the once you get a little more confidence try going a little higher
I've shot my biggest bucks out of my climber. It's nice when you can head into the woods and scout find hot sign and zip up the tree and hunt then and there.
One thing I always do for a little more safety is I bring up 2 ratchet strapes and ratchet the two pieces to the tree. Just one more safety measure.
