Climbing stands

With climbing stands . . . just remember . . .

Stand lovers:


The one thing to remember with climbing stands is that if you drops something . . . yea exactly.

On the other hand you can't take a ladder stand with you. Well, you can, but those models are way expensive.

Live well, be safe

I just ordered this to go with it: http://www.llbean.com/llb/shop/64392...tn&cat4=505846

I hunt a lot in the mountains. While I love tree stands, hiking in rough terrain with one is tedious without good pack straps. I'm hoping the LLBean pack will help things.

I wanted to update my earlier post to say I got the pack and tried it out. Wow! It makes all the difference. That stand feels like a properly fitted backpack instead of a hunk of oddly shaped metal dangling from loose straps.

I highly recommend the LLBean pack to anyone who carries a treestand more than a few hundred feet.

I've been using climbers for 3 years now and have only dropped stuff twice. Annoying as heck. It's worth the risk though.

dropped plenty of stuff, here's a trick or two

I've dropped LOTS of stuff. Fortunately not me, or my bow. Or a gun.

Here's some tricks:
-I take two releases, identical, up the tree.
-I take a big snap hook, like on a fish stringer tied on the end of my pull rope. Opened like a safety pin, I've retrieved/snagged, all manner of stuff from 20 ft up plus. Including a couple of arrows hooked through the blades.
-anything that is handled a lot, is on a tether or lanyard, tied to my climbing vest
-hats and gloves are the worst offenders
