[QUOTE="Gravey, post: 5705900, member: 2648"] Make sure you are strapped to the tree from the time you leave the ground until your feet touch it again. I use a black diamond rock climbing harness. Many moons ago I didn’t do that and looking back that was stupid. I have the Summit Viper but think they’re basically the same except for size. If the strap at the top of the seat that goes around the tree is bungee with s-hooks I have those wrapped around the frame arms and hooked to each other when transporting and then release them when not using so it’s not stretched out. The third hand straps that lock it down double as straps to cinch it tight together to keep it from clanging on itself while walking in. All this said I haven’t used mine in several years but have no problem doing so if I needed it. Just practice with it and take your time. Always make sure the bottom platform is locked down into the tree before moving the top section up or down. [/QUOTE]
