I'm thinking the same way. Our season is over Jan 1st, so I may keep researching. My main concern is how will 30 feet of rope coiled up near the small of my back feel when sitting in the stand? I have tried the HSS vest a couple years ago and did not like them for the bulk/weight and how the leg straps felt. I shudder to think what they would crush in the case of a fall.
Have you ever considered a tree descender from Summit?
