Shoot boys,
Back in the day all we had were homemade climbers, you step up onto what you would call the foot piece and strap your feet to it, get a big 'ol bear hug on the tree and up you go! No hand climber, just your arms.
I still do it this way with my loggy bayou. I have a climber for it but it's easier this way. Granted I just got out of the Marine Corps so I'm in pretty good shape.
Anyways, Loggy Bayou has a climbing accessory that is much like a hand climber but has a canvas basket to sit on if you wish. Found a couple on Ebay pretty cheap.
