does this climb the tree first? how manually or automatically?

It is attached to the tree and then you get in and climb. The stand has like a pimp action to it. Requires you to use your legs and upper body strength.

No not automatically. The weight is what it looks for to determine the appropriate profile. You have to select the profile manually otherwise. Mine doesn't work properly after barely using it by the way.

Understanding is you can. From the directions, this is supposed to be automatic. I don't. Force of habit.

You also might want to add a turnbuckle to the mix, so you can maintain constant tension on the cable.. Of course, you also might pull your tree down. :)

Yes, it definitely gets easier. Pulling straight up seems to work best. Turning the stem clockwise a little also works for me.

Yes, rope goes up through the rungs of the ladder and down the other side to make a loop at the top. You put that loop over the top of the branch and thread the bottom of the rope ladder through the loop. My branch wasn't perfectly level and it worked fine. Depending on how thick your branch is there should be a small amount of play

Dont things so. You need a tree located to certain distance or a hook, or something to hold the system

The tree becomes a ground plane. Law states that you can only raise an antenna 20 feet off a natural or pre existing structure. So a tree will give you a lot more hight. But hight is not always good. Beyond 35 feet you tend to loose ground plane anyway. Yes this will work without ground plane but I recc it that high. With out ground plane you signal shoots strait up. I would research old school ground plane info. Most new stuff is here say.

Not sure about that one. I did it manually but see what the instructions say. Maybe you'll find something I didn't.

It is somewhat abrupt. It depends on the angle you set the line at. The instructions tell you for the distance to put the high end and low ends at a distance from the ground. I have grand kids in preschool and no one has had any problems. I bought the eagle series as to get the plastic disc for the younger kids to sit on. I also had to put a 6' step ladder next to the tree on the high end so they could get up high enough to get on. The older children just grab the trolly handles and ride down like that. When they all get to the end, they ride the line back about 1/3 of the way as then it stops and they get off and bring the trolly back to the next rider by use of the rope. Have had no issues with regard to the age of 4 or above. My daughter has 4 children, 2 boys at age 10 & 11 and 2 girls age 5 & 8. My son has 3 girls with twins at age 4 and older daughter age 7. We put a couple 2x4 blocks at the end for a stop on the line and the tree we attached the low end to was an angled trunk as they do not swing into the tree.

No, just like on the box it stays upward. Which helps if you want to tie it to a tree. I don't like mine on the ground especially in the winter.

do you have to manually set the scale as user 1, etc every time you step on it??

We sent this to our two yongest sons and they said all they had to do was pull the branches down into place. Hope that helps!

No, not automatically. The person has to have the wherewithal to push a button from the pendant or wrist strap.

It didnt come with instructions. But you could easily do it if you have another rope hanging down from the tree and some type of swivel where you would attach the swing to the rope. The ropes on the swing are long but not long enough to attach to a high tree alone. Hope that helps.

It depends on your height and the length of your arms. Obviously if there are unilock walls or mounds under the tree you will be reaching farther. It is only for the smaller branches not the thicker ones of the 3/4" thickness. You can always use a step stool or a ladder to get way up and to the middle of the tree.

Hello, Thank you for the question.Would depend on if the climbing stand has a shooting rail that's incorporated with it, or if you plan to leave the climber in the tree and use some of the tree steps to get in and out with it. Other wise we would have to say no.Thank youWorldGoodsCorp
