New to the climber world and put it to use this hunting season. kzbin.infoUgkxlQ7TDIrnnSXXbRgFFaxqwullRJJIuYAs I felt safe while climbing up and down a tree. It did take some time getting used to climbing and descending the tree. Once I figured it out I was comfortable going in climbing a tree knowing I was going to be up a tree quickly and most importantly quite not scaring every deer out of my area. I am 6’2” and 240 lbs, fit and comfort were great. I bow hunt and found no issues hunting from it. It is a little bulky to carry in and out of the woods vs some of the smaller open front climbers but I thought it was worth the bulk/weight due to ease of climbing (using the rail to sit on) and comfort for long sits.

Sorry for posting more, but I saw another video on this and noticed something. When the step is flipped and locked into place I see a open spot between the tree and the round cross bar. Is this big enough that a boot could slip through and get caught leaving me hanging upside down? Just a way to fix this might be a small piece of expansion metal welded across that area but leaving room to tie the rope.

These are great. Where I hunt putting spikes in a tree is illegal. Also you cannot use a motorized vehicle. So carrying anything gets tedious because you have to carry everything. I have a cheap climber and it's a pain in the butt. However I've sat some cheap hang on stands that were great. Problem is climbing up too it, and keeping people out of it. This system solves both of them without much inconvenience other than tying on 4 steps when you head in, in the mornings.

I gave a like for this, but my only other concern is when climbing down in the dark is left over rope might catch around the foot. But I think if that is a problem then I could tuck the remainder in back up under the step. As for the cuts in the bottom of the feet that dig into the tree have you tried using blunt ends with rubber feet? I would also like to know if the harness belt comes with it? If not where do i get it? I can see how theses step could really work well with the tree saddle.

Its not necessarily the loss of the cambium, although bad, but the open wound it will leave... Any opening into the cambium can invite disease or fungal attack. My point being is that if is a tree you like and would want to return to then you will ultimately be shortening its life span and its structural integrity, if you then start using this system on several trees in the area then any infection you are allowing into the trees can become rife. you would not spike up a tree you wanted to keep.
