Thanks 76 for the video - that was good info. I don't currently carry the relief straps nor screw in steps but I'm going to look into attaching a pouch to my SOP to carry them. Anyone do this?
I don't want to offend anyone, but hang on stands with very small seats and platforms and no rails seem to be very dangerous. You have to have climbing sticks or screw in steps to get up. These seems suseptible to failure. And, the transfer from steps to stand seems tricky. I do not think I would want to use one of these stands.
I feel much safer climbing in my Summit 180. And once I'm sitting with the rail around me, it seems much safer and is very comfortable.
To each their own, but the thought of anyone falling makes me almost ill. On the steep hillsides, covered with rocks, where I hunt it would be a very bad landing. Plus, I wouldn't stop rolling until I was in the creek at the bottom.
Good info guys, please ahare any other insights.
