Not just screwin steps..........I trust my Cranford Ezy Climb steps as much or more than any hunting equipment I own. I believe in them that much. But all stands, sticks, etc. are attached by some means, usually a strap. Things can happen. We all need to wear a harness with safety line climbing up, down and in a tree. For the first 10-15 years I hunted from a stand I never even wore a simple safety belt while in a stand.[&:]

So can I still climb up with only my feet, holding a loaded rifle in one hand and my bow with an arrow knocked in the other?


Man, you take all the fun out of this.

Add this to the list...............

A Buddy of mine has a bad habit of leaving his stands up year round. Tree growth, weather, and time will can only make that a formula for getting hurt. [:@]

Sure ya can burnie, I just don't want to read a copy of your obituary here.

Doesn't my prehensile tail count as a safety harness? Sorry, just monkeying with ya!

Good post.

One of the things I love about this forum is that people are not afraid to post the "this is how I was stupid, please don't do it" thread. We have all made those mistakes and sharing the lapse in judgement may just save someone's butt.
