I really enjoyed your video. It was a little bit of memory lane for me. 30 years ago I hunted w a loc-on and used the climbing spurs too. It was so fast and easy to set up my stand that way. I’m embarrassed to say I used no safety strap until I got to the top where I wanted to hang my stand...mostly at 25’ up. I had my spur kick out a time or two while climbing but I was lucky and held on to the tree. I tried to pick trees that weren’t too large in diameter so I could keep a good grip going up and coming down. It was stupid I know but I was young and lucky. Killed a lot of deer back then out of my loc-on and spurs. I’m still climbing trees but use those safety ropes and harness... Thanks again for sharing your climbing methods. Those spurs made me smile.

I never thought I would be considering climbing the tree with bolts but I am. thank you for the great video

Thanks Mr. Womac your a professional.

Best treestand video I've ever seen! You sir are a genius!

great video. I am personally not a fan of a couple of his methods, but he did a super job of explaining and showing the methods. Well spoken and clear. Some good "outside the box" thinking....

Excellent video Warren. Great demo on how to use the Woodpecker!

Great video, I am looking into the rope steps because of public land restrictions. I made my own woodpecker drill out of pipe, the bolts I coated with heat shrink. That Thermocel is awesome don't hunt without it! The strap-on steps I would check into possible recalls. I have seen several that were recalled.

Warren - excellent video, my woodpecker drill and bolts are still going strong since 2005. Have a safe season, Doug Korn

Really enjoyed the video......wish I had run into you about 20 years ago.....I am 63 now, and lugging a stand in is getting hard especially in the hills. One of my friends used lag bolts that way, but much harder to get out.

Excellent video! Grateful for the benefit gained through the sharing of your experience.

I modified my Black Diamond alpine bod harness by adding a, length adjustable, lanyard so I can be hands free when hanging my stand. I've also attached my Browning limb saw and pouch for drill & bolts to the harness and removed the gear loops that came with the harness.

Mr.Womack I enjoyed the video thank you for sharing your knowledge! I'm def gonna subscribe to your channel

Awesome video... Those are some interesting tools you have..

Excellent kit Warren, that's a lot of wisdom and experience in one video. Too bad the woodpecker drills are out of production but will check the other one out. Thanks for a great vid.

Just got through watching your video on climbing methods and would like more information or maybe a video on how you made your shooting rest that you put on your leg. Awesome idea!

Warren I didn’t know you were into saddle hunting. I got mine one year ago and having a ball. I’ll be 65 next month. After spying this video I grabbed my cordless drill and a 3/8 bit and been prepping trees. Way better and quicker than screw in steps. I’m north of San Antonio and not much big timber here. I can get 10’ in most trees. Better than a cloth ground blind. No matter where I put it, Some old smart doe will pick me off. Having some success saddle hunting hogs. We will see what happens deer hunting in October. Any advise on ground blinds? Awesome video!!

Excellent video! I spent this past season saddle hunting. I just wore my rock climbing harness and used one of my static ropes to ascend the trees in a DdRT system the way arborists used to do. Whole setup weighs about 7 pounds, but it isn’t for everyone. I’d like to get some lineman spurs and give those a shot!

Great video!

Good stuff, Mr. Warren.

Thanks for the information!

nice video . very informed thanks

Great video! Do you have any details or links on how your safety harness was put together? Thanks

Great vid

great video! I wish I could get the hang of using gaffs....bout killed myself the 2 times I tried it...easy getting up...but coming down was a nightmare

Thanks....i might give this a whirl....i like my climbing stand but it can be a pain to haul then if you get a deer then it's an ordeal I will be 72 in 2019 still pretty limber

Thank you, thats how its done.

What brand and model of spurs are you using what do you recommend?

Nice, another option I've always done when hanging stands to hunt at a later time is a cordless drill

Well, here I was thinking I'm getting to old to be bow hunting public land. Guess I have a few yrs to go. Vey inspiring!

My local Lowe’s did not have any Plastic coating for dipping like in your video. I used Flex Seal. I hope it turns out in the end. I have 1 coat on so far, will likely put 2 or 3

Great video thank you sir. my only concern is how easy those bolts come out if you lose footing or happen to yank on one a little sideways. Seems to work for you after all these years though so it must be fine.

Man this is awesome, total game changer! As for the holes you drill. How many season do they last? do they get bigger or smaller over time as the tree grows? can you re-drill them?

Any new suggestions for a place to order grade 8 bolts ? 3/8x6 " bolts??? Locally they are expensive here.

I see your climbing harness is like mine and doesn’t have loops to connect your lineman’s belt to it.would like to know how you did yours

Love it videos....wish I could find me a windwalker my limit is 7 pounds

I like the kit. I have questions though. Do you drill in the dark of early morning? Where you from?? How high do you typically hunt?

Great video Sir. I'm going to share this at my forum public land bowhunters dot com.

Where did you find the bolts? Everything that I have tried bent on the first step and I only weigh 180 lbs.

What is the name of that stand ????

Where do you find good tree climbing spurs?

Where did you get those strap steps? I mostly hunt public land and can't use the climbing spurs or the drill. Thanks!!! Oh, this year i am trying out the Wildedge Stepps. They are light and can be used on public lands, something you might want to add to your arsenal!

*Nice stand>>>**ur2.pl/923** so far. It's my first, so don't have a comparison. But, after 2 times trying it out and hunting in the woods I think I have it down. It's light, but I got the Sherpa game cart converter and its a breeze to haul a mile. Also getting the Mollie Straps for shoulders and waist. The harness works as it should: looks like quality seatbelt material. If your on the fence about getting either an open or a closed-get the closed. You can even use the bar to shoot your rifle from if you set the top section high and just stand hunt.*

Warren reckon when the earliest i can drill my trees in Alabama?

where did u get our rock harness from

So no trouble with the bolt slipping out ? Just my thought when I was watching this. I really enjoyed your video too thank you.

Mr. Womack.....is it hard drilling the holes on the left side being right handed?

You can tell this setup has been concocted over years of experience lol

I want one of your rifle rest where can I get it!

What type of bolts are you using?

It's an original, 6.5 pound, Lock-On Limit

Did you bow hunt Kansas? You look familiar
