When you guys are setting up on a spot what do you look for in a tree? What are your favorites? What are some of the less than ideal trees you have sat and how did you make them work with your system?
I have been forced to sit some heavily angled trees and found that sitting below the angled trunk was not comfortable at all. I also sat one tree, not sure of the type, that had pickers on all the smaller limbs. That tree was great to set up in but once I was there I found that anything metal (steps and caribiners) that rubbed with pressure squeaked! I was really pissed about that one as it was otherwise perfect.
Anyway, just looking to gain some insight.
