(Part 2) Reddit mentions: The best hunting trees & straps

For you and /u/MCRmagician, a deer drag harness works perfectly well so long as you aren't dragging actual tractors or trucks with it. Great for cars, tires, and sleds of reasonable weights. $12

For stones, I am a fan of the stall mat AND tire combo. /u/MythicalStrength is doing a good job demonstrating this in one of his recent videos after I finally talked him into giving it a shot.

>Since the Game Sled TM weighs only six pounds,

lol you're insane if you think I'm carrying an extra six pounds around with me to help with a drag....

One like this works very very well and is much easier to carry around: http://www.amazon.com/Hunters-Specialties-Deluxe-Deer-Drag/dp/B002KJDPCO/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1417552639&sr=8-3&keywords=deer+drag

Is something like this even worth getting? I'm kinda on a budget and not trying to get super invested just yet.

I've always wanted to try and play EVE....

There's always use for a [rope](

A reinforced nylon cobra buckle riggers belt would hold up better than leather in those circumstances. Designed for CCW, but good for any hard use application, really.

Best of both worlds.. open and you can sit and climb

Unless you plan on repelling, you don't need a riggers belt at all. I have the SlimGrip and it already has a stiffiner in it. Just get one of these, it will be great for what you need it for.

From my experience going to the Indy several years ago, grandstands are not covered. As others have stated, a hat, sunscreen, water bottle, and seat cushion are all recommended. If you can get one of those seat cushions with a back on it, all the better.

Amazon sells the Uncle Mikes competition belt setup for $20.99, the Krydex brand for $26.99, Quik2U TUFF for $36.99, black scorpion for $47.99, and Bladetech for $49.99. Links below. Hope this helps.

Looks like you might have found something similar to this guy... which is steel (heavier). https://www.amazon.com/Guide-Gear-Deluxe-Person-Hunting/dp/B003TP4M2U/ref=pd_day0_hl_200_5?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B003TP4M2U&pd_rd_r=dcffab59-e6a7-11e8-8349-9126162516c7&pd_rd_w=MIIzW&pd_rd_wg=rBWyz&pf_rd_i=desktop-dp-sims&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_p=ad07871c-e646-4161-82c7-5ed0d4c85b07&pf_rd_r=FVXFMNQJS3T1AN8N9N8H&pf_rd_s=desktop-dp-sims&pf_rd_t=40701&psc=1&refRID=FVXFMNQJS3T1AN8N9N8H

You should look into camouflage netting. It would work a little better than using a tarp for concealment. Although a tarp servers more purposes, especially in winter.

It looks like a home-made skinning claw or hide puller.

And these hooks work really well, never had an issue getting them to start into a tree

It definitely is! I took a buck 3 years ago in a blind like this: http://www.amazon.com/Hunters-Specialties-Portable-Ground-Collapsible/dp/B00AZTYWPU

You just need a tree for a back drop and the right time to draw back. It is challenging and you will need to take your scent control to the next level. But it is a rush being so close to a deer on the ground.

How did I not know these existed earlier! Finally Ill be able to hunt in peace!

I've used the 5.11 trainer (1.5") or operator (1.75") belts for the last 7 years or so. Simple and gets the job done. The trainer is currently $30 on Amazon:

So, if we're getting this for the CAT, why would https://www.amazon.com/Summit-Treestands-Utility-Tourniquet-Buckle/dp/B000PE54WU/ref=sr_1_55?ie=UTF8&qid=1541526638&sr=8-55&keywords=strap+buckle not do the same thing? Sure, there's no little stick to turn, but just pull it tight in the first place.

Depending on how close you are to camp/vehicles, you don't even have to quarter it. Field dress it, then use a deer drag to lug it to the truck (or a quad if you're allowed to run one on that land).

It's the Blue Alpha Gear EDC belt. I have it and their Cobra Belt also.

Probably not, but this will.

I personally don't think you need a longer rope like most people say. I thought i did but when dragging a huge animal, you want part of it's body suspended off the ground to ease the drag. Cheap and held up to some heavy abuse. 100% wouldn't have been able to drag that deer alone without that
