Caution and Safety

[rattlesnake1]

Ok guys , just a reminder for those that use ladder and lock-on stands that you left out from last year .
go ahead and buy some new ratchet straps or chains binders and change them out before the season comes in to prevent any breaking while you are hunting.
and be sure to use your safety harness when climbing.
Have a good and SAFE time preparing for the coming season.

Good tip!

Excellent tip and I got a ladder stand that definitely needs a new ratchet strap.

Anyone know how long the ratchet straps are good for?

I’ve noticed some deterioration after a year in the sun .

Sunlight degrades synthetic strapping pretty quick. I don't use mine past two years.

i replace all of mine every year, its a small price considering what could happen.

I use a chain and turnbuckle of all my ladder stands.

Great thread. A deer isn't worth spending the rest of your life in a wheelchair.

Tether in boys! Good call snake! Not a bad idea to share your location with your better half or someone who’ll notice if you come up missing as well! I share with the wife and it gives me peace of mind!

Anyone got a suggestion for this new stand?
