George and I climbing/ hunting combo
Nice demo! How small diameter are you comfortable climbing with the lonewolf hand climber?

No way that's a LW climber. If it is....they changed the design. Lol on the ground I can barely adjust the strap with 2 hands. I wonder if they changed the cams or the belt to make it that easy? I saw replacement cams at the store last week. I'll have to contact LW.
Thanks for the video
So what exactly is George using as his tether ???
So, what happens when the hand climber gets loose and slides down the tree? I didn't see it tethered to you or anything to prevent it from getting away from you.
Great video. I would tie my platform to my tether biner. But you look comfortable and that’s have the mistakes are because you aren’t comfortable with your gear.
I wish I could adjust my strap like that but not flexible enough. But hanging works for me.
I’m not sure if you could adjust the FayetteKong mod like that but I saw your belt hang a couple times where if you had the Summit cable mod I’m sure it would climb easier.
I’ve already posted on here that a certain company should make a hand Climber with a cable instead of belt. But they didn’t pay attention to me.
I think your video might change their mind.
Also I’m going to sew my two sit drags together as you suggested in another thread.
I will say I like my leg straps for hanging and adjusting the belt but to each his own.
Donnieballgame and I have tried presenting this system to the masses but very few have taken the bait.
With the right trees and that’s any where a climber works and more because it climbs much smaller trees then even sticks and Jim Stepp steps.That Pine is less than 4”.
I think it’s the easiest fastest lightest less complicated way to saddlehunt but haven’t been able to sell it.
I don’t know where you guys are from but if you want to come to S Florida sometime when I’m around season starts here in late July early Aug. Your more than welcome.

Bongo, my cousin makes it look easy doesn't he lol. I have NO flexibility. Ill do part 2 of this video where I hang (like you) to adjust the band. I call it " bongo style" since i learned it from you. I also get down on both knees to put the strap on for stability. Depending on the situation, sometimes I don't even use it. We have so many poplar trees in Maryland (even in thick cover) this combo is perfect for us. Thanks again for your demo.
Yes he does make it look easy. You guys are doing a great job promoting the sport.
I got to hunt PAX River Naval Base in 2004 and 2005. I love Maryland and it’s a sleeper state for big bucks.
I’ve been hunting VA in Nov. the last 5 years and there’s plentiful poplars there also.
Would love to hook up with you guys sometime and swap ideas.That picture was about the 8th of Nov. Had to leave on the 10th and they had just started chasing when I left. I killed a two year old ten point out of that tree.
If you look on my tether there’s a cliptor hanging on it like George said he put loops on his tether to hang his bow on. Great minds think alike.

Thanks bongo, we're just trying to help some people out and share info. Yes, we do pretty well in Maryland. We target mature deer for the most part, so it's a chest match especially since we don't use bait or spy cameras. We enjoy the challenge. Would definitely like to hook up sometime, maybe hunt some public.
Great video. Thanks for sharing.
I did my adjustments the same way, and I'm not a flexible person.
The only difference in my setup was the use of a Ropeman1 on my tether (which is awesome) and a clear tube on my belt to minimize hangups. Oh, and I never installed an ocb strap or other form of locking strap at hunting height.
