climbing stands

that's all I've used for years. I wouldn't use anything else, except they can be noisy. Find a nice straight tree and you can get thirty ft up or more. It seems like you are above the lower wind current that high up. I go to sleep in mine and its nice especially when waiting for shooting light. or if setting all day.Advice: NEVER HURRY WHILE CLIMBING OR DESCENDING. TAKE YOUR TIME IF AN ACCIDENT HAPPENS THIS WILL BE THE TIME. ALSO DON'T REACH TO HIGH WHILE CLIMBING!!!!!!!!!! I had the bottom drop from under me at 23 ft up a couple years ago. It was tied top to bottom but I had the string on the front. get two strings and tie the sections together on the sides. I had my bottom section drop and hang be cause the string caught when i reached to low while descending. it didn't hook because the string was holding it straight up. i was up to my armpits when it went and used all my energy trying to get the bottom hooked with my toes. I was hanging unable to slide down the tree because the deck was below me at a weird angle. I couldn't make a planned jump for the same reason. I was losing my strength and about to turn loose when i some how hooked the tree with my legs and grabbed with my arms and only the lord Jesus whose name I was screaming knows how i climbed around the back side of a slick tree at 285 fat saturated lbs.and slid down. I guarantee if you take chances in one you will get hurt bad! Please take my advice use em hard but use em safe!
