How much estimated time does it take to get all set up from bottom of tree to ready to shoot
Using sticks and ratchet strap platform of course.

Yes, I climb set up just like normal, climb back down dress up and climb back up. I just find it easier and I don’t get sweaty which leads to cold. I set up early enough it’s usually not a problem
This year has been different I have dressed extremely light weight and use heat packs
Yesterday it was 25deg I wore my midweight artic shield long johns, scent blocker knockout top and bottom. I had hot hands in my front pockets, adhesive ones on both kidneys and one in my hat. I had hot hand insoles and toe warmers in my Irish setter rpm uninsulated rubber boots.

I have a belt that has pockets that you can put hand warmers in and position them over your kidneys. If you look on the internet I'm sure you can find a kidney belt that will take hand warmers.

I can be up in about 5-7 minutes... however, I self film all my hunts and like to hunt close to bedding, so I tend to go very slow and still... it takes me about 17-20 minutes from arriving at the tree to set and ready to hunt (and all cameras are set up etc)...

You ever had any nerves pinched or blood vessel damage in your shoulders?

I have a Gerbings heated vest and it is some of the best money that I've ever spent on hunting. Allows me to handle the same temperatures with much less bulk. Uses small lithium battery packs.
