I'm going to give it a try. There is another post on here about setting stands in cedar trees. I have one trimmed out on top but it is tough getting up in it packing a stand and bow. I'll admit that I need to do some more work on the tree but I don't want to make it easy for others to sit since it is kind of obvious when you look at the tree from a distance. The way I see it, I could simply climb up with my bow, tie in and hunt either standing on existing branches or bringing the top half of my hand climber if I had to. I tend to stand alot so I don't think it would be that uncomfortable. It shouldn't be any different than a climbing harness for wall climbing or repelling.
