Safest Climbing Stand?

[olerambler]

"Permanent" stands like ladder stands or tripods aren't allowed on public if I'm not mistaken

No their not allowed but still find them out their.

$150 cash, PM trades. Stand has been upgraded to grade 8 hardware. I have a couple few I will let go if you want more than one. I also have one that is brand new and a couple of the newer models if interested.

Picked up at Cabela’s Acworth.

I believe you can as long as you remove during off season. I have at least a half dozen on Chattahoochee I’ve had up for years.

May be the most comfy I ever hunted out of.

My vote is for a quality saddle setup. Once you get the jist of things, you can be set up and in the tree in the same amount of time it takes to use a climber, plus if you climb up and down while using your tether rope, you are attached to the tree the whole time. If he hunts by himself, he needs an ascender to use with a safety harness for the climber.

This is his current set-up and it just looks sketchy to me, so many things could break.

I had one of those but it got stolen off of the tree - was way more comfortable than the old Amacker it replaced

This one (Buckshot Bigshot) gets my vote, very safe and comfortable. Mine came with cinch straps that once applied to each section, stand is rock solid and won't move at all. No wiggle of any kind......... and I'm a big, top heavy guy.

Used alot of different ones over the years but if I had to pick one I like the best would probably be the summit

What happened to API? I was about to recommend them because I used their stands religiously and still have a few of them in storage. I beat the heck outta them at 50 lbs over the weight limit for years. But I haven't bowhunted in years..

Went to their website that barely functions and their "shop now" button takes you to Amazon with Summit treestands. Guessing they are barely in business..

Summit Goliath as others have said before is my go to if I climb. As I've got older though I'm much more inclined to hunt from the ground of a ladder stand.
