LOL... Brings to memory when my oldest brother got into bow hunting... I had an extra Baker and showed him how to climb with it... He was a natural and zipped right up the tree... So we went hunting and I put him up a tree I liked... I went about 100 yds. up the hill... Shortly after I got settled in I heard a crash... I was down the tree like a fireman going down the pole... When I got to the tree I was relieved to see him standing there... The stand did do as well platform was broken and metal frame all twisted... I said what happened??? He replied I got up about 12 ft. and decided that's high enough for the first time... He then turned around and put his heels as close to the tree as possible... Well with all his weight near the tree it was....GOING DOWN, BOTTOM FLOOR.

Then another time we said we would quit around 11... When he didn't come out, I went looking... There he is up the tree... So I ask what's up??? He responds that he can't get his feet in the stirrups... He just had back surgery... So I put my Baker on the tree and go up under him and put strap around his heels..
The memories....

Ric... They were huge.... Some guy gave them to me... No handle... As big as they were they were only good for maybe a 1/4 mile... I gave them to some kids that thought they were the cats meow....:ROFLMAO:
