The one i have is over 15 yrs old and im in the maeket for a new one. Tell me what some of you guys are using.
I have a Summit rock climbing seat I got off **** paid $20. I used to rock climb back in the day and love it for hunting!So **** or craigslist
Who sells those.
The one i have now you simply step through the straps and then tighten the belt up. It also has bags on the belt to put your steps in or a saw etc.
Do you have a full body harness now ? If not buy a Summit SOP, it has the D loops on the waist area for just this purpose.

The tree hopper works great!
Got my Summit rock climbing harness at -bay good luck
The tree hopper is nice, I just bought one. Didn't care for the rope that came with it so I put together a different one.

I also use the treehopper, doubles as my safety belt.
I use a rock climbers seat- Black Diamond I believe. I use it as a harness as well. Light and simple.
I'm kinda surprised they still sell a safety device like the treehopper. I thought all the waist belt devices were pretty much banned anymore? Something about squeezing your waist/chest to the point that you die if you fall in one. Not to mention getting upside down.
If it was strictly a climbing belt I could MAYBE see it but in their pictures it shows the guy sitting in a stand with it hooked up like a fall protection belt.
Sorry, but I'll stick to the full body types.
Summit SOP or hunters safty system, thay both have side loops for climbing...Howard
I searched on the internet for "Rope Ropelling Harness". I found a site that shows you how to make a rope ropelling harness. I used this with a linesmans rope.
I use a HSS vest for hunting but for hanging stands, can't beat that Tree Hopper belt system. I put a old fanny pack on my belt to hold steps, screw, straps,etc. and it works great and allows hands free attachment to the tree and can double as a safety belt as well, if needed.
I used to rely on my monkey friend Chim Chim.

The question was for a recommendation for use while hanging stands.
The Summit SOP has it all there for climbing, fall restraint and dragging deer.
The Treesaddle does it all too.
