Good morning I’m David McCool with hurricane safety systems. And I’d like to introduce to. You today our flagship product it’s a tree stand attachment system called the tree stand power lock by hurricane safety systems basically. What this is essentially is a device. That we’ve developed after the glass two years. It is a tensioning device. You can see here basically. How this works is and you’ll you’ll see. This square frame is simulating a tree stand frame we’ve developed a couple Universal brackets. That attach to the tree stand frame. And we also have one for a center post but. You don’t see that here so here are the brackets the tensioning device the power lock itself can be used with a drill. Or a ratchet I’m gonna back. It up here so you can see. This pretty clearly. This is the tensioning device again we’ve been in development of. This for about two years within the tensioning device. What we’ve created is a micro plush. And this micro clutch provides. What we call calculated radial extraction that’s the amount of force. That we are sucking the tree stand to the tree so as. You can see it’s got a very healthy size sturdy hook on. It and what happens is. These universal brackets. That you would attach to your stand the power lock simply clips in as. You can see here and the gearing in. It is fantastic we say I’m. Even tightening with my fingers. You can use a ratchet a wrench of. Any kind to do this so. You open the tree simply take our chain pass. It around the tree I’m going to use the drill with.

This thing you’re gonna see. That the micro clutch is very similar to the clutch. That you find in a drill so. If you’ve got a preset amount of clutch. Where this thing punches out you’ll get feedback. Imean audio feedback on. It you’re going to hear. That with this product right. Now I’m going to show. It to you we simply just start. It you can see the cable is coming in is retracting in. We come forward on it. And you hear that the minute. You hear that that means. That our power lock has flushed out at about 400 pounds again of calculated radial extraction so the advantages of. This very safe product. Because you’re working in front of. You’re not reaching around the tree to pull the strap tight getting off you’re always working in front of. You have left-to-right adjustment.

Now we’re advocating. That you use your strap. That the power lock is a backup system but. We believe it is the world’s. Most technically advanced safest tree stand attachment system. And we’re very proud to bring it to market for more information please contact hurricane safety systems. You can go to the web. And find us there or w/e hurricane SS com.

This is the extant tree stand. This is the world’s lightest two-piece climbing tree stand hi my name is Tony over ball. And I’m here to demonstrate the use of the extant restain. You can see how the x10 packs on your back for easy backpacking it comes with shoulder straps already attached. And the next thing you want to do just take. It off your back I usually lean. It up against the tree. And remove the budging unclip the backpack straps from the clip bubbles. And the two pieces separate easily. How to attach the X stand to the tree first twist the pin to unlock. It pops the cable out pull. It through the loop wrap. It around the tree pull the pin pop the cable in give it a twist to lock. It to attach the bottom platform it’s the same as the top twist to unlock pull the pin pop the cable out wrap the cable around the tree put. It back through the loop pull the pin pop. It in place twist it to lock. You would reattach your tether straps like. You easily be adjusted. You connect them for climbing make sure. You take out all the slack. You want as much length as possible be sure to always start your stand with an upward angle.

Because as the tree tapers. It will level out before. You ever leave the ground be sure to be connected with a harness. That has met TMA standards. All right now you’re ready to climb. Once your stand has been attached your tethers have been connected. You checked all your pins. Everything is secure the seat is designed to be raised up so. You can put your hands under. And grasp the frame lift the upper part the seat portion lock. It into place placing your elbows on these pads. And grasping the frame put your feet into the foot stirrups spread them apart to take up the slack the X stand tree stand is what’s commonly known as a hand climber do not sit on. This rail it as a sit. And climb always grasp the frame get up use your elbows to support your weight going up. Or down never sit on. This rail the foot strap on your X stand designed to be stepped on. And flattened out but. It is also designed for hands-free operation slide your feet through the strap spread them apart take up.

Any slack this will allow. You to comfortably maneuver the bottom platform. While climbing your feet spread apart raise the platform. And lock it into place to come back down is just a reverse of. That process reset the stand supporting your weight on your elbows lower the platform again just repeat the process the tether straps which are also your backpack straps but in. This case we’re using them as a tether they’re designed to secure the top part of your stand to the bottom. Once you’ve reached your hunting height to prevent. This top from sliding pull down on the slide buckle taking up. All the slack this will pull tension on the seat to the same on the opposite side pull. All of the slack out of the strap securing it tight. This will prevent the upper seat part from sliding or moving never allow your stand the slope. Or the downward angle. This happens you must return to the ground.

And readjust and then go back up. If it’s slightly unlevel. You can pull the stand to. You pull the slack out of the cables drop the lower part. And correct this never ever detach the cable from the locking pin. While you’re climbing always try to take your excess strap. And just tuck it in behind the seat so it’s not blowing in the wind attracting attention. And pull a little more slack out after. You sit on the seat to make sure it’s tight. Once you’ve done this correctly. This top portion won’t move. It locks it rights into place. Many people are curious about. This Flex arm technology. What this does is as weight is applied to the stand it’ll the arms will bend inwards just like. Both limbs it will allow the cable to squeeze the tree.

What makes the stand so stable. And also what makes. It so like we’re often asked. How much weight will. These flex arms hold so. This is the demonstration show. That the flex arms don’t actually support your weight they’re only there to allow the cable to flex in. And open the cable loop for easy climbing so. What I’m going to do is take the cable completely out just put. It around the tree without using the Flex arms at. This demonstration to show. These flex arms do not support your weight they’re only there to guide the cable. And to open and close the loop for easy climbing as. You can see the stand will easily support my weight without. Even being attached to pack your X stand up for backpacking just unzip your strap remove the sand from the tree same process just in Reverse as.

It on — pack your ex stand-up for backpacking take the seat portion nest. It together with the bottom platform next attach your funding board to hold the two sections together three attach your backpack straps by pulling your clip buffle through the same rung. That your foot strap is attached to clip the buckle in. And pull out the slack do the same on the opposite side pull the buckle through the frame slip them together pull out the slack. You have your backpack strap it’s very quick. And easy to do once the stand is on your back. You can pull on these straps using the slide buckles to tighten. It up do not cut away. This excess strap it’s needed. These are being used for tethers to climb with just tie. It off in front that you’ve watched.
