RE: using portable tree stands in the rain?
I guess it just depends on what kind of tree your climbing and what kind of climber your using , The climber I use has spikes on it so I wouldnt worry about it . The ones with the cables you might slip alittle or something but once all your weight is on it it shouldnt go anywhere .

I use my Lone Wolf climber on wet trees without any problems. I screw in a tree hook on the back side just below the traction belt on theseat portion so it can't slip down if you need to stand.

LOL... nice. I've got a climber (forget the name) that I've used for a few years now and I haven't had any trouble in the rain. The cable that goes around the tree is high enough so the bottom actually wants to swing in an arc down into the tree (best visual I could come up with) where the teeth hold it in.

I've used mine in the rain & snow. Everytime I lift the platform, & make sure I set that in a little bit harder to grab a better bite. Of course, the bark does make a difference. Say a large birch to an oak.
