As a lineman it’s a good idea to have 2 lineman ropes to clip in around obstacles while clipping off the second time . Just an suggestion if someone is concerned about unhooking

New to the climber world and put it to use this hunting season. kzfaq.infoUgkxlQ7TDIrnnSXXbRgFFaxqwullRJJIuYAs I felt safe while climbing up and down a tree. It did take some time getting used to climbing and descending the tree. Once I figured it out I was comfortable going in climbing a tree knowing I was going to be up a tree quickly and most importantly quite not scaring every deer out of my area. I am 6’2” and 240 lbs, fit and comfort were great. I bow hunt and found no issues hunting from it. It is a little bulky to carry in and out of the woods vs some of the smaller open front climbers but I thought it was worth the bulk/weight due to ease of climbing (using the rail to sit on) and comfort for long sits.

Nice. I love my millenium M 150 stands, So light and stable. Very comfortable and you can shoot a bow comfortably seated.

A friend showed me knot from Papa New Guinea. Great knot. I use at least once a week. It's never failed.

Nice video, pretty much exactly how i do my permanent sets for the year. The only tip I could add is that i tie a loop and a carabiner to the bottom of the safety line about a foot off the ground. When i arrive to my stand i hook my pack to the carabiner at the bottom, which keeps the safety line taught while i climb up. When i'm up and set then i just haul my bag up using the safety line as a gear haul.

I prefer to use bolts instead of the clips in my sticks because you can control how tight the joint is for noise. I wrap the male section in a layer of electrical tape and bolt through the joint using a pair of gear wreches to secure everything

You made that look really easy! I would question if unhitching the linesman's belt, so that you are not secure and could slip and hit the ground is safe practice. A double version as you mentioned would be way safer. Usually there is no one else around when we do this!

@scotthutchins6035 Жыл бұрын

I agree 100%, he was not tied in at times, I do the same process but I use another HSS lineman strap and move it up as I go, it attaches to my tether. That way when I remove my lineman belt to go around a branch etc I am tied off. He did mention having 2 lineman belts, but doesn't do it. Personally, I like knowing I am tied in at all times.

I’m happy for you, you’ve done really well for yourself. I just can’t afford to pay $200 a lb for deer I kill hell I can’t afford the land. It’s become a rich man’s sport. And guys are looked down upon if they don’t have the latest and greatest. I tried to get onto several bowhunting FB pages but got the hell off them. There’s so many clueless younger generation that do not care about seasoned hunters (44 years here.. ). Experiences or as advice. I think they love their equipment more than they do the purity of the hunt.. sorry to vent.. and I’m truly happy for you. And support you however you may approach our great heritage. Stay well. And best of luck!

As the younger generation (28 years old) cant really say a agree with you, used a youth bow cap out at 60# for years and i killed a lot of deer with it. just upgraded to a new hoyt earlier this year thanks to Donny Trump. While i do love it at the end of the day i hunt for the sport, challenge and ultimately the meat. I just dont like the orange army that only hunts for 4 days a year that doesn't know shit about hunting.

@sheltonheath9165 Жыл бұрын

You are sure right about it becoming a rich man’s sport ! I’m 67 and still can’t afford the $200 per pound either. I wouldn’t pay it if I could bc imo it’s not being frugal with your money. Good luck hunting poor man’s style like me.

I think that is a DIY one. You may be able to buy the rope pre-tied but if not you can make your own with climbing rope, two carabiners and a ropeman ascender. A prusik knot will work too (instead of the ropeman ascender).

I’m 260 lb and I am not trying to fall out of a Treestand. My only problem is trying to find the right tree. I think a pine tree was the worse tree to put it in..but I don’t have a lot of trees around. So what should I do?

@TheWhitetailGroup 3 жыл бұрын

Hey man ... I always opt for the tree that’s in the exact spot I want it even if there’s not much cover ...

Yes, we often find ourselves having the wrong tree in the right spot. Instead of compromising and finding a better tree, we work with what we have. Sometimes that means bringing branches or even small cedar trees up into the tree as cover to build a "nest." As we get closer to the season we will make a video on how we do this! Thank you JT and best of luck hunting!

Little trick/ tip. When moving your flipline(lineman belt) unhook the carabiner, not your adjuster. Less to get caught in branches, no tail of rope to hassle you, and that carabiner has some weight, use it to toss it around the tree.

@pjreilly3997 2 жыл бұрын

Two quick points, only because you mentioned "safety." NEVER rely on hugging the tree to get into a stand. Statistics say that's where most accidents occur. Run your ladder above your stand. Second....use a pulley and haul your stand up the tree from the ground. WHen you stand on the ladder and pull the treestand up by rope, the stand weight is pulling you down. That's bad news. Using the pulley, you can tie off the stand on the ground, climb up and then it's hanging right where you need to hang it and you don't have to hold any weight while you are on your ladder.
