I just pull it down. I don’t crank the rope tight. Do it just like you’re hanging a stick, no added canning needed until your setting it to hunt.
I’ve been running mine folded.

You can either unhook them or get them up on the platform and tucked away once at hunting height.with the aiders hanging down like that I would think they would cause movement in any wind and deer wld catch that motion

@shamus275 ?Has anyone platform climbed with the type of diy platform that the strap attaches to the foot base portion and cams over rather than the up right post?

Uh...nope. I climb with one stick and or multiples depending on the tree and use a predator.

How is your aider attached to your platform? What knot are you using? Is it removable at hunting height?

How else would you set up a seat kit platform? I dont think I have seen pics of them set up any other way. I am all ears though cause I would not mind getting away from the cam buckle.Why do you have yours set up that way? I tried it and was never able to get the strap tight enough. The platform always pulled away from the tree. Either way, if it holds your body weight you should be good to go.

No I have a LW alpha seat, and the rest of the setup from Dano...short post and 2 stand off's. Have thought about putting a versa button on the post just above center and moving the seat to the top of the post. Just not sure how that would work out.I’m sorry, I misinterpreted your post. I thought you had a platform like mine but the platform was at the top of the post. I don’t know why I thought that lol.
I would think you could do it. You can play with where it’s mounted. Right now I have mine hanging off the middle of the platform.
@Wirrex. How’s climbing with the platform been working for you this season? I’m considering doing this with my predator platform and ditching the single stick that I’ve been using. Have any tips or lessons learned from climbing with the platform this season? Thanks.
The aider being so far from the tree may be a problem. No way to brace your toes against the tree when climbing . Ymmv
I found the same thing. I used my predator platform with a homemade webbing aider,two separate loops and it worked great.This is false. It’s just rope and you still can use the tree. It’s far more stable.
