RE: Climbing tree stand
When I was new to hunting, I bought the Cabelas Cable Elite SS climber. At the time they had 2 versions, one rated for 250# and one rated for 300#. I am a bigger guy so I figured with all my gear and crap I needed to 300 pounder. However I dont see that one on the website anymore. I think it was like $199. The 250 is much less, I think it was $140. They are a bit heavy weighing in at 32 pounds. But I fell pretty secure in mine. I also remedied any fear i have this year. I took one of those ratcheting tie down straps up with me and used it to tie the upper part to the tree. It was solid as a rock.
