Ahhhh like put all four sticks up and climb into a stand and then climb down . Also smack the bottom of the sticks and see how they do , amsteel rope doesn’t grip as good as straps.
done it several times the past few days, ropes work great, will many times stay on the tree with the rope completely loose. This morning the tree was wet, covered with moss and my boots were muddy, they did great. You won't regret getting them. BTW, I am about 250lbs, they work great.
