Just had a quick question to see if anyone used a Hunter Safety System Lifeline while using their climbing tree stand. I know most of the time you usually use a lifeline when you have a set tree stand in the woods but unfortunately I hunt on public land and all I have is a climbing tree stand. I've thought about attaching a lifeline for certain trees in different areas of the woods but I'm not sure if I should go that route or just use a tree strap every time I climb a new tree. I have a few different locations and a few different trees that I usually climb. Let me know if/what you use if you have a climbing tree stand. Thanks! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Use the safety harness and use a strain relief strap I move both up the tree between the two I can get down if needed without the stand
I've never used one with my climber. Most likely 'cause I rarely sit in the same tree twice with it on the public land I hunt so there is nowhere to anchor the top. I do use it with my hang-on and stick set-up though beginning last year. It is a pain to carry another piece of equipment to the woods, but when I take a look at my son and daughter it is surely worth it!
Thanks for the input guys! I do have a hang on with some sticks in the front part of my in laws land but I've never sat it before. Maybe I will take the set down and find a nice spot to put them up where I hunt. Carrying the climber in the stand every time I got out there is getting old. I haven't shot a deer yet but I've helped my buddy drag three back to the truck with the stand and my bow and that was a pain. Thanks again Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
