RE: ? on cables and chains on Climbing Tree Stands.
Summit Viper XLS. Replace cables when you get broken strands. Rubber shrink tube is availible for repairs.
BOTH the chain AND cable are overkill for the stands (lawyers make SURE of that) I race motorcycles, and we use a LOT smaller chain, and it takes a HELL of a lot more abuse. The only problem with the chain a could possibly see, is the need to oil it if the plastics gets worn off (rust...squeaks). Other than that, I am 100% confident in my Summit, and my little brother's (6'6" 280 lbs) API.
