I know there’s been a few threads here on climbers and I’ve been doing my research on them. Got the opportunity to hunt a great piece of private up in northern Wisconsin. Went up there last year to do a short hunt and noticed a lot of birch’s, oaks, and pines that would be perfect for a climber. Basically a weekend hunt here and there, probably sitting all day….being 6’1" and 225 lbs., I thought a nice climber would do the job on this property. Was trying to decide on the Summit Viper or the Lone Wolf hand climber combo 2. Any other stands that you feel would be worth looking at, please let me know. Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

Guys I recently bought a realm x but none of my kick stands for the wide limbs of the x,
What is everyone using on there’s?

So when I was younger and wirey I had no issue setting sticks or steps as high as I could then hugging the tree to get into the stand which I placed above my last stick. Now that I’m older and wiser and don’t bounce like I used to, I always want a good handhold or two to get into my stand. There are some trees where I want to be as high as I can be and don’t want to carry an extra stick. Anyone come up with something different to help get into the stand?

I use lifelines so was thinking about maybe some kind of aider tied to the prusik knot or on the beaner.

I know it’s a very general/generic question, but what do you consider the optimum height for bow hunting? I ask because I haven’t bow hunted much…hoping to get more into it this fall. I have always primarily rifle hunted, and typically climb 30′-40′. I just bought a LW Alpha and four LW sticks, thinking I’d give lock-ons a try, and I realize I’m not getting near those heights without more sticks. So for BOW hunting…..what’s the "best" height?

What pack does everyone like either back pack or waist pack. I have a hard time when I take my climber.

I have an injury that makes it so I get cold very easily. Anything less than 65’ degrees is uncomfortable. I used to fish, hunt, and icefish but now fishing in anything less than 65’ degrees is too cold especially when my hands get wet. They hurt for hours after.

So I’ve spent a ridiculous amount of money attempting to stay warm so that I can keep enjoying the sport of hunting that I love so much. But it’s getting harder. I’ve tried the Cabelas Stand Hunter parka and bibs (Windshear version, they make one without Windshear for some reason) and Sitka Incinerator both with a Milwaukee Battery Operated Heated Jacket underneath and Cabelas Artic Pac boots with Thermacell insoles and a Cabelas handmuff with battery operated hand warmers. I’ve also tried the IWOM with the Milwaukee Heated Jacket underneath and have been cold.

I wore the Cabelas Stand Hunter with the Milwaukee Heated Jacket today and got a bit cold. It was 9’ degrees when I started hunting.

I know a lot of people love the HBS and I’m interested but I’m wondering if I’d be warm enough. I know that not all insulation is the same but the HBS has 300 grams of insulation and so does the Cabelas Standhunter. I’m not sure how much insulation the Sitka Incinerator has, it doesn’t state it on their website. The IWOM has 150 grams insulation.

So, could the Heater Body Suit, Artic Shield Body Suit or Other Suit be warmer than the Cabelas Standhunter, IWOM, or Sitka Incinerator combined the Milwaukee Heated Jacket?

In the stand it gets cold
When you hold it the aluminum ribs your hand of heat
Anyone else have a solution or used something
