thats just crappy... and how are you supposed tocombat against that crap hapening? you cant really. well my hunting buddy found these heavy duty bike cables! that are about 1/2" thick. we attach two of them together and wrap em around our stands to the tree. they only cost about 2$ each. so for three stands and the homebrew we use 7 so for a pice of mind 14$ is all it will cost ya! and keep in mind a bolt cutter wont take these bad boys down you would have to have a good high speed grinder. 1/2" cable and its wrapped in some heavy duty plastick tube. all in all its about 3/4" thick.

i will try to get a picture on here soon so you guys have an idea of what your looking at.. all we are going to do is wrap em with cammo tape, because they are blue and grey! [:@] why doesnt someone make something like this in cammo?

i hate theives[:'(]
