Hi everyone. I did a dry run in my helo this past weekend and it was fantastic. I got it set up perfectly. So easy to get in and out of the stand. Where it could improve tho is feeling safe while standing. The first few times I climbed with this stand I was wearing my saddle, and I felt good standing with my rope bridge and tether over my shoulder, but it seemed like a mess and ultimately I started using my hunters saftey harness that I got all modded out. It’s the tits. I got a dump pouch with my lineman’s rope tucked in on top, my stand pre hanger, cam buckle strap and HSS tree strap with caribiner underneath. Up the tree 123. Out too. It’s perfect. Now, when I’m up there my back straps got some wiggle room in it obviously, with a very small platform, man. Maybe because I’m just not totally used to it but it’s sketchy standing up. I hunted a true saddle setup last year and not being obviously connected to the tree is somewhat new to me. My other permanent hang ons are huge and I don’t get vertigo on them. Was curious to see what you dudes do. Any help is appreciated, thank you! I’ll post some pics if any of you would like. It’s a bad mama jama. By the way I got 18 feet with 3 trophy line minis and 17” DIY aiders. It was awesome
