How to Hang a Tree Stand in 5 Minutes!

Another tip..... from the time you leave the ground have a life line/linemen’s belt on I had a friend fall from only 3 feet destroyed his leg😕

Try monkeying with all that gear in the pitch dark on a 20 degree dead calm morning. No thanks!!!

Wonder how long it took this dude to get poison ivy as he laid all that shit right in it...

Had my first public land hang and hunt Monday and even though I didn’t get a deer I did have a close call. Scouting paid off. This video was very helpful in making my hang a success and also getting quickly and safely up the tree. Thanks again for the tips.

Yup, no way my steps could ever be that far apart. Lol.

The perfect sticks would be the new xop's but with the muddy pro stick quick rope cam system...i seen you do the diy lonewolf/rope cam system which was cool but just imagine the xop's like that

That's badass! I've been deer hunting from the ground for 19 years. Where I spend most of my time hunting there just isn't enough trees hunt from. But I found a new spot that has some stands for public use. But the deer aren't dumb and there's a few spots that would be awesome to hang a stand. Learning the tree safety and tricks is fun. Kinda revived my love for deer. Just bought a stand and a set of sticks and I'll be using this technique for sure. Another thing too is I'm deathly afraid of heights lol. I'm good once I get in the tree and sit down. Up and down on some of these other stands is nerve wrecking. So being able to set a stand how I feel comfortable will be great. Thanks again and good luck!

You have a new subscriber! I watch the hunting public guys!!!! I mainly use a climber once I get some extra money getting one of the new hang on style ones thanks bro good hunting!!!!

What kind of climbing sticks are these? They look so short.

And I thought my climber was dangerous. 😃

Thank you, What brand are the climbing sticks?

What is the make/ model of that tree stand I would like to buy one like it.

can anyone tell me how he is climing in tenis shoes? please

Parabéns pelo seu vídeo ficou muito legal 🇧🇷

I like your video I have a question for you what is the name of the lineman rope your using I like that it doubles as linemans rope and feather strap

good to be young

Hey!
I am looking at purchasing a new hang on stand and climbing sticks. I am looking for something light weight (stand and sticks). I need something I can pack in and out because lots of theft near me. The link to the XOP climbing sticks does not work and I can't go right to their website to find them either. I was looking at XOP and Lone Wolf for stand and stick combo. I like how those XOP's stick together so that you can pull them off one at a time like you showed. Do you have any thoughts on going with Lone Wolf or XOP? Also have you seen the stacked outdoors ladder sticks? They come in a 4 pack and only weigh 9.4lbs. I thought about with going with XOP stand or Lone Wolf stand and stacked outdoor ladder sticks. but might not be able to backpack them in with other stand. Thank you for your time!

Great tips here, the only thing I would add is a second lineman's rope for going around branches or when you are hooking yourself in once you are in your stand so you are always connected to the tree at all times.

So, what happens when you slip to fall from the step, do you just got yourself?

Hey thanks for the tips! I went out and hung my stand for the first time ever and took me about 10 min. I see you only have one strap on the stand? Also how do you go about wrapping the strap around the stand?

Love the content!

Great Video, I like the technique. Personally I was nervous watching you disconnect from the tree and step into the lock-on stand from the sticks (which is where most fall happen) totally disconnected. I think I would have attached my tether first above the lock-on BEFORE I disconnect the linesmen belt. that way if you fall, at least you are connected. Good info though. Stay Safe!

Are those lone wolf sticks cut down?

This is an awesome set up , even with owning a new saddle set up, I keep coming back to my LW assault and four mini LW climbing sticks...

did you make your tree strap and lineman rope? because the ones you have look to be a lot simpler and quicker than mine.

Watched this a while back and was impressed. I’m still impressed because after several hangs, I’ve not been able to get it done in 5. But I do like this method better than carrying around the heavy and loud 4’ sections of climbing pole ladder. Thanks for the great info.

I'm 60 yrs old and have been climbing trees since I was 5. We used to actually play tag in the trees, jumping from limb to limb like monkeys. None of us ever fell. Of course, kids don't do that these days. They sit in the house playing video games, so they don't develop any level of athleticism. I've been bowhunting for 42 yrs and have never used a safety rope and have never fallen out of a tree. Yes, I know accidents can and do happen, and you're all probably saying I've just been lucky, but I don't call it luck. I call it skill and competence. I don't know why so many people are being critical of this video. The young man is in good shape and seems comfortable climbing the tree. It's his life and his prerogative whether or not he wants to use additional safety measures. All you complainers, leave the kid alone. If it makes you feel safer to use a safety rope, by all means, use it. Besides, if he DOES fall, it makes for great video and you guys can all say "told ya so".

Really liked the video brotha, thanks for posting that was awesome

Good stuff

Awesome video! What model lineman’s belt are you using?

Thanks a lot man

I’ve watched you for many years and I always check out this vid before going mobile each year.

I did it with the Woodglut plans.

How did you get your lineman belt around the stand without disconnecting from the tree?

I know u were young back then but you NEVER transfer to the stand from sticks or screw in steps without being attached! You made a big error. Also hockey monkey has camo tape to quiet stands and sticks. Keep giving us great video.

Great video showing how it's done. Well done man!

What tree stand backpack straps are those?

How did you use your linemans rope as the teather to your harness?

I like to carry a tether in addition to a lineman's belt. I like being connected at all times. I'm also a clumsy jabroni.

Still the best video out there

glad you learned about the lineman's and staying connected to the tree at all times since this vid

Why not use a portable climber? Faster, safer, less equipment to carry, more comfortable?

That is so dangerous using 1 strap even manufacture says to use 2.
Ive seen those straps come undone due to spring tension wearing out.
Takes me 5 min also.

Always use 2 straps!!!!!
I personally use the hook strap up top and regular next one down!!!

I know this is a very old video and I prolly wont get a response but, how did you take your linemans rope and transform it right into your overhead safety line? Thanks!

Dude...look how young you were back then...hard to believe all these years have gone by so quickly!!...here's to you and your awesome channel that has grown like crazy!

The very first thing you MUST DO is put a full body safety harness on!
Step 2 tiie off with Safety lanyard.

I think you should have added a disclaimer; ie. "only do as you see me do in this video if you feel comfortable climbing with minimal attention to safety against falling". That was probably the most unsafe climb up a tree i've seen in a YT video. Sorry for being so blunt and critical but i'm just calling balls and strikes as i see them. You didn't attach your climbing rope until already standing on the 2nd stick; you often allowed the rope loop around the tree to be too low; and the most egregious of all, you detached your climbing rope before stepping onto the stand and then were standing there with zero fall restraint of any kind...no climbing rope, no safety tether. That's a huge risk. Even as one ascends the tree with the climbing rope, if you use it improperly (ie. too much slack or the loop below your waistline) if your foot slips off a step you're going to get hurt. Possibly going to need stitches from getting gashed open on the sharp metal edges of your climbing sticks. Trust me, it's not going to be a pleasant experience. Avoid it at all costs as much as you can. In any case, thanks for making this vid and sharing it, but i felt compelled to point out the short comings as i saw them. Stay safe and good hunting.

Always hang your stand below your linesman belt. Detaching to enter your stand is dangerous and nobody should do it this way
