Good info Jason, keem em coming!
Dude, I have the same stand and have had to adjust the bottom tons of times…I used to have to kneel in the seat and bend over to adjust bottom…Thanks for the insight…I can’t wait to try it.
great tips!!! thanks jason. won’t have to worry as much on finding the perfect tree!!!
Can you give us tips on how to get out of the tree when your platform falls? Heheheh!
Great tips Jason. I have a Summit Cobra also. Mine came with a braided rope attached from the hand climber to the platform base to prevent it from falling to the ground while adjusting it. Sometimes it hangs up while climbing, but I wouldn’t climb without it.
thanks for the info I was thinking like Rambow tie a rope to the bottom
I guess I should have mentioned that in the video. I have a stand tether connecting the pieces, but it wouldn’t really do much good if it fell away once disconnected. I don’t see a real way to reconnected it and you’d have to bear hug your way back down the tree. Like a said, it’s dangerous, but people do it, and I’ve found this to be the easiest and “least-dangerous” way.
Man, that’s good stuff right there!!!!!!!!! I often have the same problem but, I will try this next time.
Thanks!!!!!!!
I have lost the bottom of my stand before. Its not fun. Ever since then I make sure I have a rope connecting the to sections.
thank you jason for the insightful video
Don’t ever jump off that platform that last 3-4 feet, can’t tell what’s under the leaves. A friend did just that recently and thought he broke his ankle on uneven ground.
