I’m fairly sure this has been discussed on multiple threads, but I’m new and not readily finding them. Without having climbed/set up in my saddle yet (USPS says it’s in my town, just not to my door yet) what is everyone’s process for getting onto their platform/steps/whatever?
As I visualize this I am toward the top of my sticks, set my V-Steps/platform/get to my screw in steps, then I move my lineman’s belt above them, but are you guys holding just the side of the tree as you go beyond? Are you hooking your tether before you get on the platform/steps, putting any hand holds above the platform height? On some of the trees I prepped I’m struggling to figure out the safest way to get from top of sticks to hunting height.
Any insight on process is appreciated.
