RE: What's your absolutely best tip?
 
I think this is a good one. When you get to your hunting height with your climbing stand, take a tree hook and screw it in just below the strap that holds the seat portion to the tree. This will stop the seat from sliding/dropping down. I then hang my quiver on it (I shoot with quiver off)and keeps it out of the way.;)

Here's a really cheap tip and it works excellent! If you know what a milkweed plant is go out and find some but make sure its good and dry. Use it for checking your wind direction. When checking your wind direction let some go and see where it ends up, you might be surprised by the little thermals in your woods on how your wind actually travels. I live and breath this stuff, If I don't have any with me I feel naked in the woods not knowing if my wind direction has changed from the time I got out there to the present time. What the wind direction is doing in front of your nose may not be doing the same 30 yards from you!

I've used Wind floaters for years it tells you so much more what the air is really doing in a given area than anything else.

This is the one I use... Cabela's carries them, and they last indefinitely.

You guys are right; that's a tip I learned a few years ago that took me leaps and bounds above just using the talcum powder in a squeeze bottle which disappears in just a few feet.

I pull a little fuzz from my stocking cap. It works as well.
