[QUOTE="TheLBLman, post: 5568999, member: 1409"] The real trick to more successfully & enjoyably using climbers may be via simply using them a lot (experience), and giving yourself an extra 15-20 minutes (typically) for the walk in carrying & then climbing. When I know I'm using a climber in the morning, I just routinely set my clock @ 20 minutes earlier, start walking @ 20 minutes earlier. If you pack out your climber, you will also need to allow extra time to get back to your truck (or house or atv, etc.). Descending is typically quicker, but then you have to pack up, so there's @ 10 minutes more time than coming down a ladder and packing up less. I've also used hang-on stands a lot in the past, and still do at times. But rarely do I pack them in to hunt same day. Planning on trying the saddle option this fall, just to have more same-day "options". [/QUOTE]
