    It could almost put me to sleep. Then I realize I’m on a very small platform and I wake right back up haha.

    This is a two man. My restraint is loose so I can move around. It has bars 360. If I fall asleep I’ll whack my head.

    So my second tree stand chair just broke while I was sitting in it. Scared me to death. Good thing I was wearing a harness. I didn’t fall out but it could have been bad.

    And that’s why I’ve never climbed my ass up into a tree stand :rofl:

    certainly hasn’t helped my hunting, but it has saved me from shitting my pants

    So no Deer.
    But, winds picked up all of a sudden.
    Like real fast.
    Tree about 50 yards from me didn’t like it.
    Aka she’s broke.
    All I saw was birds.
    No other critters at all.
    I usually see squirrels and other such creatures.
    Very weird ..
    So after that tree snapped and with my tree Rockin and then looking down and seeing the ladder doing the two step, I decided to call it.

    not what I wanted.
    But, that’s why they call it hunting and not shooting..

    I’ll never use a climber. However, I’m starting to be more comfortable in a ladder..

    Not afraid of heights per say.
    My gym days are over and I really don’t want to be doing crunches climbing.
    Might pull a hemmi..

    I haven't used my climber in years. I still have one if I want to hunt state land.
    Now that I have some land I have ladder stands.
