RE: climbing stand
ORIGINAL: mobowhuntr First of all, make sure you aren't in too small diameter a tree. If it's too narrow, the teeth won't seat properly. Secondly, you can use the strap that you use to hold the top and bottom portions together to secure the seat to the tree. Watch the video that came with it, it explains it there. If all else fails, ratchet strap. I use a Viper and stability has never been an issue, unless the tree was too small. |
RE: climbing stand
kamil, after a while you will find a routine that works best for you....................then soon after I almost guarantee you will want a climber with a seatrail for sitting and climbing. A seat climbing stand is so much easier and makes me feel more secure while ascending and descending..at least for me.

RE: climbing stand
Another factor is the type of tree you are climbing! Your harder trees can give you a sense of slipping. My rule is......if I can get my nail into the bark I like it. Throw some rain in there and it can test your nerves. Wide tree with soft bark!

RE: climbing stand
ooo wow.....the Bushmaster.....I see your skepticism...That open front is a bit spooky especially if your already nervous about being in the air. I have the Viper with the bar in front. You're more enclosed, but as long as YOU WEAR THE SAFETY HARNESS you will be fine. You can do. Do like you are and baby step. You'll get comfortable.
Hey!! 30 feet's not insane! WTH?? :D It's lonely at the top....but the eatin's good!! |
