Guest mastinson Posted October 31, 2004 Report Share Posted October 31, 2004 I just purchased a new hunters view silver condor lite, it came with a strap to put on around the tree, this strap is not part of the safety harness and it goes right under the top cable and fastens to the stand. I have used climbers before and never had to put an extra nylon strap around the tree. What is the purpose of this, and do I need it? By the way this climber is no diffrent than any other and dont see what this strap would do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tedicast Posted October 31, 2004 Report Share Posted October 31, 2004 Re: New climber need some help The strap is just an extra precaution, so that the seat part of the climber doesn't come loose as you stand up and sit down. The summit climbers come with one too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stinger-Hunter Posted October 31, 2004 Report Share Posted October 31, 2004 Re: New climber need some help It comes in handy if you're going to make it a semi permanent stand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] just looking at a pic of the stand online. If it is like the Summit, the strap is made to be secured around the seat part of the stand, where the teeth bite into the tree. This is so it doesn't un-weight from the tree as you stand up and sit down. If you were to stand up, and the back of your legs catch the stand and lift it a bit, you could be in for a surprise when you sit down, and the seat slides down. This just happened to my brother 2 weeks ago with his summit. He doesn't use the strap that came with his. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
