climber stand
I bought a climber stand at walmart. I am haveing a bit of a problem. I can climb up the tree without any trouble, but climbinging down the tree is a bit tricky. My problem is the bottom part where you strap your feet in I cant move it down the tree. The only way I have found to move it down is to reach my hand down pull up then my feet can guide it down the tree. Is there a trick to useing these climbers?

RE: climber stand
Lower the upper level (seat) to a comfortable height to support most of your weight - I like about hip height - then push your feet in towards the tree and tip your toes up, the bottom will release & you let it down to the distance you feel comfortable lowering your weight to. Near as I remember I usually do about a foot or slightly more at a time.
