Sunlight and damp weather can cause rot and rust. When building homemade stands, always use pressure-treated lumber and never expect a stand you put up last year to be in good condition. It must be checked before the hunting season starts. Never put a stand in or near a tree that is questionable. Make sure the stand is seated properly against the tree.
Man climbing stand is perfect for women and youths to use.
Never climb up or down with a bow or a gun in your hands or on a sling on your shoulder. Inspect it before and after every use. Use as little slack as possible in the harness. It is better to fall a foot or two than five or six or even more. Use of this site signifies your agreement to the Terms of Service.
