I'm not sure why everybody isn't using a "life line" with a prusik hitch on all their tree stands.

Do they work with climbing sticks or screw in steps? Yup......

Gee, how about climbing stands? Absolutely they do......

Well good golly, they CAN'T work with ladder stands too, can they? 

Does Howdy Doody have wooden balls?  You're darn right he does AND that a "life line" and prusik hitch WILL work with any and all types of elevated hunting.

Sorry for the passion................carry on.

I have them in most trees

80 for 3 on amazon. Regular 40 a piece. So u get 3 for 2.

Could make them cheaper if you were so inclined. Definitely piece of mind going up and down.

Hss says in packaging ropes are replaced every 2 years. Not sure if they are replacing them. Or suggesting you too.

I have made my own, and you actually dont save much at all buying the rope from any supplier Ive found. The least expensive way is to buy the boat/dock lines that are made out of the correct rope and then a length of the smaller diameter line for the knots. You save maybe 3-6 dollars per line over the pre-made ones if you catch them on sale. Its almost not worth your time to make them.

Well heck, I don't blame you.  $1350 for life lines is a total ripoff........

Who's going to fall?

Stands/steps NEVER fail?

I don't ever get sleepy in the saddle.

I don't get excited when I cork a good buck (spike or doe too) and make hasty moves.

I won't fall, impossible..................................

Lifelines only give you a safety advantage when climbing into/out of the stand. While you are up there, they dont do anything for you that the strap that came with your treestand does.
