I have six climbers and all six have Thirdhand stabilizer straps and bow holders, the Thirdhand straps make the stand more stable for sure and cleans up a tangle of factory straps.

 

I would never be in a climber that didn’t have them.

 

Made my own as well. Would not use a climber without them. Probably wouldn't hunt out of one without them

 

I Use third hand and they are great

 

I had for many years and it can make a boring hunt very exciting 😲, getting your heart racing and sometimes even praying to God 😂.

 

Love my 3rd hand straps ..

 

I do from third hand too, great product

 

I got the whole package and got the climber stand treads too, they exceeded my expectations

Straps are a goof/wise investment.

 

They are on every climber I own and all my buddies too

 

Glad I clicked on this post will be buying some for sure.

 

I will never use a climber without thirdhand or some kind of straps again. Before I used them I had an incident where the bottom portion of my stand slipped off of one foot as I was coming down the tree. While trying to get it right, the entire bottom section slid down the tree. I was still 10-12' up the tree, supported by my arms only. Luckily, I was able to transfer myself to a position where I was hanging by my hands and push off of the tree to jump away. Nothing hurt except my pride and a puckered anus. But I learned a very important lesson. Use any and all safety equipment wisely and wear a safety harness with lineman's strap or lifeline every time you leave the ground.

So here is another one I have only seen as factory on Ol'man stands. There is a strap than runs from the foot platform to the seat portion where the foot stirrups are and to the V on top. Even if the bottom comes loose it stays level and I use it to help when climbing. I pull up on it as my knees have lost some range of motion. I put a simple plastic buckle at the top with a loop so it is easy to remove.

I actually use mine to help pack my stand for transport.

Everybody stay safe this year.

 

I do at least one practice run during the summer with my stands so I am fluid and confident in their use coming fall hunting season. This was a couple weeks ago when I was prepping my Cougar Claw climber. The photo was after ascending, descending and climbing off, so the stabilizer straps are loose but not disconnected. Knowing I won't lose the bottom section and then cinching them down at desired height so the two climber sections become a solid unit is priceless.

Literally!!!!! I could not imagine using a climber that did not have them

 

I think it would be foolish not to use them. I got a new XOP Ambush climber and putting them on was the first thing I did.

 

I use them and best purchase I’ve made for climber.
