Guys - it is far from a miracle device.
It does, however, take the hard work out of elevating stands and creates opportunities that might not otherwise be possible.
I have said this before, the hardest part is carrying the ladder stand to where you want it and laying it out.
It also creates a new level of security and safety as you ascend the stand to put on the first strap or chain.
Other than the strain of lifting a stand the old fashioned way, putting that first strap or chain on can be a very precarious process.
Working at height, regardless of circumstance - however - always has some level of danger.
Done correctly, one should always be connected to a safety line when your feet leave the ground.
That is one very impressive thing about the new Millennium stands we purchased.... they are awfully heavy but they all come with excellent Prussic knots, carabiners and ropes. High quality stuff.
Pictures.... of the stands we put up, I can gladly get and post. Obviously I cannot post pics of the device yet.
I will post a report when we put up the modified Millenium and will take prototype #2 down for that job - as it has some mods and different features that need real world testing.
Thanks !
