[QUOTE="RGC, post: 5190336, member: 20578"] We always hunted home made lock ons. My dad would put the steps in and hang the stand when my brother and I were little kids. I remember being 9 years old and walking a loooong way into the Uwharrie National Forest with a ton of clothes on. We get to the stand I’m gonna hunt, I’m tired and sweating by butt off. My dad didn’t believe in “wasting tree steps because they are expensive.” I couldn’t reach the steps no matter how hard I tried and was too tired and weak to do a one handed pull up. So he had me hug the tree and shimmy up until I could reach between steps. I did the same thing coming down. We hunted 22ft to the platform. I had a piece of seatbelt that was slip knotted around my waist as a safety belt. On the way home he told me if I told my momma about my tree climbing adventure I wasn’t coming back. I’m glad he raised us to be tough. [/QUOTE]
