Hey guys,
I wanted to share a couple things I recently found for treestand safety. I had a strap on a set of climbing sticks fail and send me for a small ride a few years ago and its still got me on edge. I searched online and found the Treestand Wingman by Black Ash Outdoors and began my research. I read multiple threads on several hunting forums and they all say the product is legit. I was using a hangon stand the other day that is on a leaning tree and thought, If I fall I will be away from my sticks and no way to get on them. I then made my choice to purchase the Treestand Wingman.
For my climber my buddy had an incident where his bottom fell because it wasn't connected so we purchased the Third Hand Archery stabilizer straps. These straps keep the climber together and also keep the top from moving. I was skeptical but man are these things legit. Links to both items are below. Everyone on this forum seems to be very nice people and I would feel terrible of someone should fall and get hurt without knowing there are safety measures out there that will prevent this.
Now, some maybe skeptical because these items aren't TMA certified. I contracted TMA when a muddy treestand and ladder became a rusty POS within months and welds started breaking and was told they don't test anything its just a standard they provide. It costs these small businesses like Black Ash and ThirdHand a lot of money to get TMA certified but a lot of people use and trust these products.
