Could someone please define "toe hooking the platform" for me? Do you mean transferring all weight off the platform by sitting into your saddle, then using your foot/toes to un-cam the platform and reset it by tightening the strap, pushing down on the post, and cam it over again? Is that what "toe hooking" means?

The strap should be level when you cinch it down as tight as possible by hand, and the platform should be folded up at this time. Then push it down as far as you can before opening the platform. The dogs on the back of the platform should grab and bite and pull the whole platform down as you bottom out the platform. I have never seen this not work. I would be very surprised if you can't get this to work for you. Good luck.Tried it all. Toe hook, Nose hook, Crap I'd even try a "Hooker" if I thought that would help. Tripple belt tightening. The platform always eventually pulls away from the tree. I'm a big guy but not a monsta.... 6ft 200..... however when my platform is folded down I keep it slightly above level as my weight brings it down to level. I also stand on my toes on the outer edge of the platform a lot not that that should matter. Its almost like the teeth don't extend out far enough to bite the tree.
Will try it as soon as i can
