I bought a Lone Wolf Hand Climber and have hunted four times with it.
I weigh 295lbs. Roughly 310 with gear.
I strapped the climber to tree with a ratchet strap for added stability.
Yesterday while hunting I felt a *ping* sensation and thought it was the bark on the tree cracking or giving way. I was simply switching positions.
After climbing out of the set I inspected the climber and found a crack on the edge of the seat away from the tree. I would have never guessed it would fail at the that point.
I guess I pushed it to it's limits and wanted others to be aware. I'm not sure if I just got a weak/defective seat or what but I assume it would be outside warranty as I don't use it as a seat.
