I won’t bore you with technical details. Let’s just say on the weekend I was refamiliarizing myself with my climbing tree stand for an upcoming bow hunt.
A climbing tree stand does not utilize a ladder. Instead, you attach a top rail and a bottom platform around a tree to inchworm your way up. Every time you put weight on either part, they grip the tree.
Anyhow, I was doing this in my back yard, when the bottom, which I somehow had forgot to attach to the top rail at the back, fell out from under me.
