Bringing the Climbing Stand Back in the Mix

[Iglow]

I remember the first time I saw a trailhawk aluminum climber, I was in awe, it sat there in my buddies truck and just radiated 15lbs of shimmering glory! I had one 2 weeks later and loved it. I still have in the barn but use a summit openshot when I use a climber which ain't much anymore.
I've been convinced of the saddle superiority, climb practically any tree, any where and be safe doing it. It takes working out a system and being organized/ efficient but once you got it worked out is about as fast as a climber. I timed myself the other day and once I was at the tree I was up and had an arrow on the string in 11 min. Getting down and ready to walk was 9 min.

For $1000 I need a much more comfortable seat than that pancake looking thing. I'm at 210 thank you very much. This swole physique just makes me look bigger.

haha yeah, like my saddle comment before, the "FAD" is obvious to price a tiny aluminum tree stand with a seat with no padding for a $1000 is wild to me. I mean at that price Id expect it to be made of titanium or something

Oh yeah. Lots of the new "mobile hunters" do.

The more mobile the hunter, the flatter the bill of their ball hat.

Crazy u posted this…..went to exclusively hang ons the past 5-7 years and literally have thought about buying a climber in the last week or so.

Never got into the saddle craze.

All I use is the Summit Goliath. My knee really has prevented me from more of the mobile setups.

It's the same as the $1000 pair of waders, $100,000 truck, $100,000 Ranger. Someone had to be able to say they have a $1000 tree stand. Summit will probably come out with their $1000 stand. Sitka did it with waders and all the others are following.

I use all manner of stands. Currently have a lock on (Hawk), A climber (Summit - Steel), tent blind, and a Saddle system. Have even used my turkey vest.

Everything has it's place.

If I am sneaking into his bedroom, the Climber or the Saddle gets the nod. If I have a good scrape line set up, I will set up the lock on. Nice field view with a good honeysuckle edge, the tent blind is so easy to set up behind it and get a view of the field.

That being said, with my heavy Summit climber, I added a carry system that works GREAT. I can strap my small backpack to it, toss it on my shoulders and Hike in. Link below. https://a.co/d/hBDbfhC

Got any pics of how you have it nested together?

@harv418 Do you unclip it to take it apart? I ordered one and it came in today and struggling with it.

No... I only attached it to the bottom of the climber. I had a small black strap and you can see it strapped around both top and bottom. I bring the bottom of the stand into the top, and slide it in till it's under the top frame
