No name calling now! [:@]

I also climb some multi-trunked trees AND some trees that are HUGE---way too large for any tree strap to circumnavigate until I'm at my hunting height. And the trees that have tons of obstructions on the way up still requires you to unattach the belt and then reattach it--plenty of time to fall while performing that task.

One the few times each year when I use my climber, I leave the strap attached top to bottom.

I'm not opposed to the idea--I KNOW it's absolutely the RIGHT thing to do. I just haven't been doing it consistently and I wondered if others were guilty of this.
