Great demo! I’m going to be 55 this July and hunting for the first time. My nephew and I are going to bow hunt from tree stands and your video answered all my questions. Thanks a million!!!
Excellent video! Always remember to tether the seat(upper part) to the foot rest(lower part)! You don’t want that dropping down the tree! Hunting is an age old art! Even the best hunters still learn something every time there in the woods! No animal is worth you’re, or someone else’s life. Stay safe out there! Best of luck to you all!
Just slipped in my climber this past weekend. Thankfully I had the top and bottom tethered and had a harness holding me to the tree. I was able to catch the top of the climber because the harness caught me, and I was able to pull both the top and bottom back up and get myself secured back to the tree. I tell you what though, even being secured to the tree it's still pretty terrifying when you do slip. Get in a little early, double check everything, and take your time getting up the tree. Things can change pretty quickly. Nice video, I think you hit everything pretty well, and were more adamant about safety and double checking then a lot of other videos I have watched.
One tip I don't think I heard in the video is once you're up make sure your stand is level on the tree. An angle up the tree if you step to far back itll slip on you. I've had that happen a few times when I first started using a climber.
Been there years ago and the bottom fell and I was hanging from my forearms and thank God I had a buddy in the woods and saved me .
Awesome video man. I’m gonna be utilizing my first climber this year. This is all good information.
Great video for helping people. A lot of people buy equipment and have no clue how to properly use it. Great information for any hunter.
John, yea I hear people talk about using climbers all the time and they either are doing it wrong or in a very unsafe way. My original video was going to be 40 mins long but that is just to long to keep people’s attention but I could talk about every aspect of the climber for hours. I noticed there wasn’t too many videos about this that were good so I figured I would try my hand. Thanks for watching!
A friend taught me how to use this and you're video reinforced everything I learned plus more
Great video...I've always used a Tomcat . This year I bought a baby viper. There's definitely a learning curve with it..thanks for walking us through your process....always wear a harness..wheelchairs are full of folks who didn't need or like using one

Good video. Watching as a refresher as the season approaches here in IL. I’m primarily using a hang on stand this year now that I have my own property to hunt. I had the platform of my climber go out from underneath me a few years ago. Had to do a pull up and fish the platform back up with my toes. Shot a big buck 10 minutes later but scared me half to death.
I came across your video. Real great video an excellent content. First time going out to bow hunt and this is exactly what I needed. Thank you
Really glad you made sure to hit on the safety gear.
This is my first year using a climber and I knew nothing about them so thanks for the vid man, you just got another subscriber👍. Keep up the good work.
Thanks Bradley for joining the channel, I’m glad you found the video useful, I’ve been using a climber for probably going on 20 years now and they still scare me from time to time. I had many close accidents when I was a teenager, so I knew passing on some of my experiences would hopefully help someone out. Good luck with your climber, get on some big deer this year brother!
Great instructional video!
Thanks for info , just bought one this help me a lot
Thank you so much for this video!
As far as moving the tree strap, for you harness, up and down, annoying beats falling or dying, any day! Thanks for preaching, the safety factor!
Great tutorial a lot of knowledge based on experience that I didn’t want to have to learn the hard way myself, thanks man and good luck this year
Very nicely done.
Thank you. Very informative
Excellent video, tomorrow i will get one of those and will be my firts time climbing a tree for hunting. But i got all the safety point that i was looking for. ✌️
Great tutorial this is my first year hunting season starts in two weeks im going to pick one of these up this weekend I do have experience gaffing I was debating on a ground blind or a climber and I think I will go climber.
Ty I’m very new at all this this deff helped
Great video, thanks!!!
Great video brother
Great video thanks
Good video overall. I would suggest reducing your tether line slack once in position, ready to hunt. If you were to fall in the example, you would have a tough time getting back on your stand.
Thank you.
Bow hunting without an arrows? You're Good!😂Nice video!
Saddle hunting looks so much safer 👀
nice video no bs
Older summits you could adjust while in stand it's about 3 videos on YT that demonstrate how to do it, but it's at your own risk.
Awesome video man! Curious where you got the mesh fold up seat for the open shot from?
This stand is from about 5 years ago, back then the open shot had this style seat. It was a bad design so they changed it up. The bolts holding the seat on tend to come loose and the seat potentially can fall off.
Did you add that flip up seat? I have the hazmore net seat. Bit that's pretty cool too will it fit the viper sd? Or is that bigger?
Travis, the seat came on the stand from Summit, it’s the sd open front climber that they discontinued last year I believe. They still make a sd open shot aluminum climber that has a flip up seat but it has a different design. I don’t think the seat would fit the viper though. Yea the flip up seat make climbing super easy because it can move out of the way. Hope this helps brother!
Where did you get that seat? My open shot has a thick padded seat, but I love that mesh seat you have.
This is an old model of the open shot, these seats did have issues related to safety so summit switched o er to the padded seat unfortunately.
What anice simple machine
Whats the best type of tree to use for the climbing tree stands? Hard wood or soft wood????
Either one works nice but the soft wood will allow the stand to bite in a little more
Which stand is this?
What kind of stand is this
My brother's platform fell out from under him😮ill never use a climer
I'm 300 pounds. Can I do this?
I don’t see why not brother, as long as the stand has a weight rating that can support it, give it a shot!
Get a Summit Goliath. Rated at 350lbs Made for big guys like us.
@@justinfinney452 I will check it out. Thanks.
I’m 245 now was 305 at one point, I’ve always hunted from climbers, I’m also 6’1 which helped to distribute the weight more when climbing, it takes some practice if you aren’t using a sit and climb, but just a little bit like doing crunches and dips, you’ll feel it the next day.
Now see I was taught to keep it at a down angle and not upward
Ideally you want the stand to be level when you reach the desired height, too far leaning up or forward could lead to the stand potentially slide on you, but typically if you keep constant pressure on the base of the stand you will be fine.
@@bluecollaroutdoors5556 oh no I don't disagree. I've used a climber my entire 20 plus years of hunting. I had a buddy wanting to try out climbers and I couldn't explain it clearly to him without showing and actually recommended to him your video. Other than the difference of me angling mine down I climb the exact same as you. Great video
Buying a used harness is a HUGE no no. Rest of video is good but as safety goes. Buying a used harness to save 40-50$ is not worth it
Do you know
If the Viper cushion seat would fit one of these flip seat styles? Someone near me has one for sale, but I’d like to be able and swap seats if need.
