Perfect Treestand? Big Guy? Fear Of Heights?

I have the Viper n Goliath, they are good but even with your safety harness. They will twist on the upper cable n add to a real high pucker power feeling. The best tree stand climber i ever owned was made by Amacker out of La. I had 3 of them n all were stole off of my hunting land

Good for you. I read your initial post and had to chuckle a little bit when you said your buddy checked it for cracks with Magnaflux. Actually I would have been surprised if you DID find any cracks. Magnaflux powder and/or liquids are only used on ferrous (magnetic) metals which aluminum is not.
Now if he used a liquid penetrant test kit you may have found cracks open to the surface.
Anyway good job on your dieting and wish you good health and success on your hunts.

I have a summit viper.. good stand..

I've climbed the wrong tree and went for a slide right down. had a good pucker my sphincter... was hardwood tree smooth bark but even and strait so I was like OK climbed up turned around sat down and zing to the bottom of the tree like a carnival ride lol... I don't weight that much either so the stand not going to bite on some trees......

only strait good pine trees for the climber. to be honest I don't climb high either 5 to 10 feet you see better and that's that it's just a seat to sit still and comfy.

Sorry to hear about your diabetes. Glad you are facing it head on. Your health is your greatest wealth.

A long time tree stand hunter. I switched to ladder stands about ten years ago after having climber fail on me. I had a harness on. Hanging in midair with the harness on is a recipe for disaster. You need to be able to get out of the tree. I was lucky.

Ive got that going on too. About 6 weeks ago I got a Dexcon 7. Ive had diabetes for 20+ years. Depending on your frame of mind they are a blessing or a monkey on your back. Sometimes both. Overall Ive made a huge improvement in my sugar in short order. I feel like a cow eating grass because anything with starch or sugar or carbs sends the sugar up like a rocket. Dont mean to misdirect the thread and I apologize for that. But if you have diabetes you need one of these.
