Curious to see the progressions everyone has been through. Here is my timeline.
2000-2004: Loggy Bayou climber with TMA harness
2004-2005: Summit Bushmaster climber with TMA harness
2006-2016: Summit Bushmaster with BD rock harness. Around 2012 or 2013 I started using the rock harness to shoot and lean saddle-style occassionally.
2017: Added X-stand Xpedition hangon with Helium sticks. Still used Summit climber probably 1 out of 3 sits. Two late season hunts from my new kestrel but with the treestand as platform.
2018: 2017 gear plus whichever wins my Mantis vs. Mestrel showdown and my DIY pivot platform.
