Another poster either on this site or another one recommended these straps to me after the plastic buckles broke on my Lone Wolf straps. I plan to pick up a pair for my Viper before next season.

My old Tree Stand
came with a small rope already secure to the top part of the stand; then secure it to the lower part by tying the rope to it.
Its great instructions made sure you understood this procedure was to be done before you left the ground.
One of the reasons I never gave that tree stand up.

I recently bought the Goliath and used it for the first time this weekend and I loved it, only I have a couple of questions for you climbing guru's... I noticed that the black plastic wascomingoff of the cables where they lock into the stand. Could that be normal wear due to the fact that it's rubber on metal? and last, should there be a strap or something that attatches the top to the bottom of the climber while climbing to prevent to lower part of the climber from sliding down under you accidentally while getting into position?
funny, lone wolf users are using SUMMIT seat do to awful seat on LW.
summit users are using the LW straps to secure top/bottom of stand...
if you use LW stabilizer straps dont pull them down real snug or the plastic could break.just snug them down tight.
i like PLASTIC ones from lone wolf fot being quite.the THIRDHANDARCHERY ones are better because of metal clips vrs plastic on the lw.so you could cinch it down tighter with THA ones but i only snug the LW down,not tight.

also there is video on the straps here

yes, but the stabilizer straps are better.look at video below.backpack straps you have to undo then they only hook in middle of stand.that wont STABILIZE the top to bottom.
watch video here.called STABILIZER STRAPS

you can leave your backpack straps alone and also the stabilizer straps too,nothing to take off or put on.

This is very good advice. All stands should have these type of straps to make the upper section more stable. The rope or bungee attaching the two sections is a thing of the past.
You can get the LW stabilizer straps here. I like them better than the thirdhand straps (No Metal Buckles). I pull mine very tight so the top part of the stand has no movement and they have never broken.

garminator,
Actually, a better idea would be to go on the Lone Wolf treestand site and order a set of their cinch-straps that they use for their climbing stands. There is alsoa video showing how they work. This would not only take care of the situation you describe but also enable you to really secure the stand once you have reached your desired hunting height. I think the straps are about $12.00. When I had a Lone Wolf sit and climb, they really helped stabalize the stand after you had reached your hunting height. These straps will work on any stand. Hope this helps.

Be advised the buckles on the Lone Wolf stabilizer straps can and do break. One of mine broke in less than 1 hunting season. Course my Dad always said I could break an anvil!
After my experience with the LW's I will be using the Thirdhand Archery straps.
