Deer Hunting Gear - Portable Tree Stands

The essential idea of a tree stand is that by placing the hunter above the normal field of view of a whitetail deer, as well as removing some of the scent trail, the hunter gains an advantage in his or her hunting endeavors. The tree stand comes in many varieties, many of which are contraptions built on a hunter's property. In this article, we will be looking at tree stands where you have the option of moving the stand between locations. If you hunt on public land, this may be a requirement for you.

We will categorize the stands we will discuss into three groups. First, we will spend quite a bit of time discussing the author's personal favorite type of tree stand, the climbing tree stand. Next, we will discuss hanging stands, which are similar to climbers, except you need a ladder or climbing sticks to access the stand. Finally, we will discuss ladder stands, by which in this article we mean the type of deer stands that are jointly supported by the tree and the ladder that goes to them.



Climbing Tree Stands

Climbing tree stands are perhaps the most versatile of all types of tree stands. These types of tree stands are used by hunters who will perhaps move from tree to tree through the season or perhaps as often as throughout the day. Without pictures, describing the operation of a climber stand is a bit challenging. Climber stands come in two sections. There is a pedestal, which will be what you will stand upon. It has straps into which you place your feet as you climb the tree. It is attached, usually via a nylon strap or a bungee cord to the seat part of the stand. The upper part always has a rail that goes around the seated portion. This can serve as a gun rest when shooting, but during your ascent of the tree, you will have your back to it.

The ascent of the tree is done facing the tree. Cables of some type go around the tree on the foot pedestal and the seat portion of the stand. The method by which you climb is you put your rear end on the rail of the seat and lift the pedestal by your feet (which are strapped to it). Once you have lifted the pedestal, you stand up, and lift the seat portion of the stand perhaps 18"-24". Then you put your rear end on the seat rail again and repeat the process. Typically, hunters climb between 12' and 20' into the tree. Once at the height you wish to be, there are usually safety straps on the stand to make it more secure in the tree. One of the challenges is adjusting the tension on the cables around the tree at the bottom. Of course the diameter of a tree trunk gets smaller the higher you climb. If you start with the cables too loose at the bottom, the seat and pedestal will be pitched forward at the height you ultimately reach. This will be both uncomfortable and unsafe. If you over tighten the cables, it will be hard to move the sections up the tree initially, and quite often the pedestal will be pitched forward at such an angle as to make it hard to stand in at the bottom.

So the last part of the above paragraph hints at one disadvantage of climber tree stands. They can be hard for some to operate. There is a minimal fitness level required to use one, and it takes some practice to be able to attach the stand and ascend the tree under field conditions. Another disadvantage is that they should not be used when it has been raining or when the tree is wet. Finally, climber stands cannot be used on all sizes of trees. The diameter of tree they can be used on varies by brand and model, but suffice it to say, that any climber will have a range of tree diameters it can be used for.

Features to consider are many. One pertinent aspect is the weight of the climber tree stand. More than likely, you will be packing the stand into your hunting location. Also, lighter stands are easier to climb with. All tree stands will be clearly marked or advertised with the weight of the stand. This is one of the first things many hunters look for. Additionally, make certain the climber stand is rated for your weight. This is also prominently marked on the stand. I would suggest always buying your stand from a manufacturer certified by the Treedstand Manufacturers Association (TMA).

Also, the quietness with which you can ascend the tree is important. Due to construction differences, climbers are more or less noisy as you assemble the units to the tree and actually ascend. Part of being quiet as you ascend comes with practice. Part of the equation however, is in the design of the stand. The best thing I can suggest here, is to read unbiased reviews of the stands on sites or from sources other than the manufacturer or retailer.

Make certain that you always use these stands with proper fall restraints or harness systems. Tree stand safety is paramount!



Hanging Stands

Hanging stands, as I am using the term here, refer to stands that hang from the tree, but are not climber stands. They come in one unit almost without exception. Typically, they are placed in the tree after the hunter ascends the tree via a ladder or climbing sticks. Once the stand is firmly strapped to the tree, the hunter ascends and descends the tree via the ladder or climbing sticks.

Some of the same considerations apply to hanging stands as they do to climbers. The weight is a primary concern as often these will be packed into the woods as well. Also, again make sure it is rated for your weight. Some of these units offer more or less for hunter comfort. It is kind of a safe assumption that the roomier stands with better backrests and other comfort features come at the expense of a heavier weight.



Ladder Stands

Ladder stands are stands that usually have the hunter platform attached to the ladder. To place the ladder stand in the tree, you simply lean it against the tree, and go through various procedures to safely attach it. The greatest disadvantage of these stands is that they are not very portable. To move from one location to another, or for that matter to get it to the first location, is quite a chore. These stands do come with some nice advantages. They do tend to be more stable, and are normally the only stands of the three we are discussing here that can accommodate two hunters. If you will be hunting public land, and it is allowable to keep your stand in the woods throughout the season, be forewarned, regardless of whatever security measures you take these stands disappear more often than not.

So, here are some basics of the features and characteristics of portable tree stands. These stands can be immensely useful. We sincerely hope that you will remember that there are far more tree stand injuries and deaths every hunting season that there are firearms related mishaps. Be safe and use all safety apparatus and follow all safety guidelines provided by the manufacturer.

How to Choose a Hospital Clog

For the longest time, medical professionals wore standard dress shoes, but over time many people who work in the medical business began to realize how uncomfortable such shoes were to wear for any length of time. Dress shoes may look nice and professional, but for many medical professionals, a finely honed appearance isn't want their work is about. Instead, it's about patient care, sometimes urgently so. Other models of shoe like tennis shoes or sneakers may have been more practical to long hours of standing and moving quickly, but they were unsanitary and were quickly ruined if exposed to any biological or chemical substance.

But then one day, medical professionals could begin purchasing clogs. These old fashioned style of shoe, most commonly known as a wooden shoe, came in a new form that made use of modern plastic as well as leathers to create footwear that was perfect for the medical environment. These shoes had a huge amount of benefits that lent them toward this kind of work and soon everyone was wearing these products around medical institutions. If you don't already own a pair of these products, here's how to choose a hospital clog for your work.

Clogs are very simple shoes. They slip on and off easily and have no laces. Fortunately, this doesn't mean they fall off easily like flip-flops. Instead, the design of the show holds your foot firmly in place. Some models do feature adjustable straps as well for individuals looking for a tight fit. The most distinguishing feature of these products is their overall design. Tight at the heel, the two of the show is very pronounced and wide. This allows ample foot room and a great deal of comfort as it allows your foot to breathe and move freely. This is the opposite of most sneakers, which are tight on the front and loose on the heel. Most of these products also have a small amount of lift to them, which can be very helpful for people of shorter stature, however, flat models are also available.

For anyone trying these products on for the first time, simply just slide your foot inside and walk around a little in the shoe. The shoe shouldn't slip and it shouldn't feel tight. You'll know immediately if the sizing is wrong. Since the body of the shoe is firm, as opposed to soft like sneakers, these products can handle both wide and narrow feet, so choose a model that fits snuggly on the heel. If it does have a lift, make sure you are comfortable with the feel of the lift and can walk easily in it.

These products have many more benefits as well. Look for models that are slip-resistant. These are very common as many professionals use these products, some in wet areas. Spills can be extremely dangerous in hospitals so any additional support and protection is very important to keeping everyone safe.

Week 2 Day 7 - Weight Lifting Strap Delema - Muscle Gain Truth

www.bodybuildingblog.ca First time using a weight lifting strap for Muscle Gain Truth back workout. The manufacturer recommends putting the rubberized side of the weight lifting strap against the bar, while another online expert recommends the opposite. I'm still learning how to comfortably wear the straps and put them on correctly - really makes me stand out in the gym as a beginner bodybuilder, but that's ok. I add a few words about what I'm learning about a good bodybuilder's meal throughout the day, and I end the video by taking my shirt off. I don't see any difference in muscle gain yet, but that's ok too.
