From one old Pa. hunter to you, a younger Pa. hunter, do yourself, your family, your girlfriend and anybody else you value a favor and get rid of the Baker Treestand-----please!!!!!
I had a Baker and later a Baker Slim Jim back in the 70's and eventually found that they were a death trap waiting to kill you.
If you like a climber get something like a Summit. Treestands are much better and safer these days. And more comfy, too.
Although us old guys reminisce about the "good ole days" there are many things today that are better for hunting.
