    30 minutes to be in a tree? Surprised you wven had to ask :lol: Takes me a 1/3 tank of gas, hour drive and 2 hours less sleep(except today lol).

    I long for the day when I can walk out my door, walk past the truck and head to the stand. I was dumb in my younger years :lol:

    It's good you're still committed to getting out there. Youll get there someday with that ethic

    Just got set up, winds blowing right at me so should be good as far as that goes. First time sitting in this stand since trimmed a branch that made it bout impossible to stand up, that problem is gone but man I feel like I'm sitting right out in open now. As long as nothing looks up I'll be good ha.

    Been in for the past 2 hours.

    Need to work on my mobile set up. The current system has a lot of flaws.

    So far this little guy! Pressure on the rise on the back end of some rain and a little cold front. Might make for an enjoyable sit - we will see.
