RE: API Treestands
One thing I didn't mention, the heat shrink tubing does stink. I replaced it with regularvinyl tubing that you get from home depot and that has lasted me for the last few seasons with no sign of wearing out any time soon. You have to pop out the plastic bushings in the stand for the vinyl tubing to fit, then you're good to go.

. . . I just replaced the heat-shrink tubing on the chains a couple weeks ago. It's not too heavy at all, and I do some hiking when I'm hunting. . . .

Any advice on where to purchase shrink tubing and how to replace existingtubing?I read where a hair dryer is hot enough, others writeuse a propane torch. So far, I've only found two sources to purchase tubing: Ebay and Order Out doors.

I have been using the same API Bowhunter since they first came out. I have left the ground before sun up and not come down till after sundown.I pack that thing in every day all deer season. Most importantly I have killed a truckload of deer out of it.
