Earlier this year there was a thread about climbing stands and I mentioned a couple Summit climbers collecting dust in my garage (actually I found a 3rd in the basement too ).
That thread inspired me to haul 'em out and use them this year.
Matter of fact, they were so easy to use, I feel foolish for not having used them sooner.
The problem is, and this was mentioned by several posters, oftentimes you end up hunting perfect trees versus deer.
So, after catching a couple YouTube videos on saddlehunting, I took the plunge and went all-in.
I ended up reaching out to the fellas at Tethrd and asking them to put together a whole starter kit for me; saddle, platform, ropes, sticks, ascender, etc., etc.
It ought to be fun playing with it, and reliving a little youth swingin' from trees.
