ruttinbuc Posted September 15, 2005 Report Share Posted September 15, 2005 Re: wtb: old baker style climbing tree stands Are you going to sign off on the liability in case you get hurt? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snapper Posted September 15, 2005 Report Share Posted September 15, 2005 Re: wtb: old baker style climbing tree stands Good luck finding one of those...everyone I know (including myself) trashed their Bakers when the TSS's came out. You couldn't pay me to try and scale up a tree with a Baker again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smitteken Posted September 15, 2005 Report Share Posted September 15, 2005 Re: wtb: old baker style climbing tree stands I'm not exactly sure what a baker is. But I have an old API with the v-bars that I don't want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snapper Posted September 15, 2005 Report Share Posted September 15, 2005 Re: wtb: old baker style climbing tree stands A Baker climber was one of the first (if not the first) climbing stand made. It was a piece of plywood bolted to hunks of angle. No such thing as a climbing aid...wrapped your arms around the tree and pulled your feet to you. Slide back down about half of what you just climbed. By the time you got to the height you wanted to hunt and climbed back down...you had road rash on your chest and forarms!

They had a decrease in blunt force trama, and this was a great way to up the attendence at the ER. At that time no one used safety straps.

bulldawg Posted September 15, 2005 Report Share Posted September 15, 2005 Re: wtb: old baker style climbing tree stands I flipped right out of one of those a long time ago. Good thing I was only 8 feet up when it happened! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest SLBDEERHUNTER Posted September 15, 2005 Report Share Posted September 15, 2005 Re: wtb: old baker style climbing tree stands What do you want with a Baker stand? I do still have my original baker hanging in the garage, also have the baker hand climbing aid. I really liked the ease of getting down after the hunt was completed, I just wrapped my arms around the tree and slid to the ground..had the make sure I had the heavy jumpsuit on or the price was brutal.

MCH Posted September 15, 2005 Report Share Posted September 15, 2005 Re: wtb: old baker style climbing tree stands I've still got an old Baker style climber. I've also got a hand climbing piece that a friend of mine made so I wouldn't have to bear hug the tree. Not interested in selling it, just letting you know that people still have em.
