awesome in depth review! i love this stand have been using it for a couple seasons now, and have been very happy with it, it is definitely on the heavier side once you are all geared up, but for most real men its more than doable. keep the great videos coming!
Hey thanks for the positive feedback dick trickel! Best of luck this season 👍🏻
Thank you for making this super in depth video, really thinking about getting one of these
Hey thanks Content With Caiden! Really appreciate the positive feedback! I have other climbing tree stand videos on the Viper SD and a comparison video between the Steel and SD. Best of luck this upcoming season! 👍🏻
@@mountainbuck oh yeah I watched that one too
I just ordered one on sale from Academy
Can you swap the seat out to the wrap around seat like the 180 has?
I follow Summits suggestion and secure my top section with the provided strap.
Yep, top section is recommended for sure (much easier to attach as well). Thanks for checking out my channel 👍🏻
That's the most comfortable climber out there, I've used one for many years-
Hey good to hear from you Underdog Outdoors! Also, nice to see that your back making videos 👍🏻
Please be sure to use the flat safety strap to secure the seat platform to the tree and check out my other treestand videos below!

He truly taught me how to set up and climb a stand. And I’m a gutter guy I live in the air !!
Just got my viper summit steel stand first thing I noticed was damn this thing's heavy I've always had aluminum climbers that were in the low 20s high teens.
It's going to take some getting used to to carry this beast
30 lbs aint alot, come on, your being facetious right?
Just bought this today after watching your video. Thank you!
Hey Miguel, thank you for checking my channel! You will love your Summit! Best of luck this season 👍🏻
Man another great video!! This guy should be a salesman that is hands on! I see this guy going somewhere! He is worth hitting that button keep it up my dude! I was clueless watched couple his videos feel very confident to hit woods.
Hey Justin! Good to hear from you! Thanks so much man. I really appreciate that. I’ve been working hard on the channel, for sure. Best of luck this season 👍🏻
Awesome, thanks for the vid my friend. Great job.
Hey thanks so much West Coast Gold Prospecting! I really appreciate the positive feedback! Best of luck this season 👍🏻
Thanks for the video. A few suggestions/clarifications: 1. the foot stirrups look to be in the wrong position. It looks a little awkward when you're trying to climb up. 2. You mention in the beginning that the green strap is attached to the seat (correct) platform but you later say/show it to the foot platform. The text at the beginning also says "secure bottom" platform. Very helpful video!
Hey jonsie, you are absolutely correct on the utility strap going around the seat section to secure it to the tree. My bad on that one! Unfortunately, UA-cam doesn’t allow you to edit your videos in a meaningful way after they are published (which is why I try to correct any errors with posts). Thanks to the heads up and thanks for checking out my channel! 👍🏻
Works great I so needed this
It would be nice if you can show me that agian for backpacking but for the summit S D aluminum
Hey thanks for watching! Check these videos out. I’ve got tons more content 👍🏻

Academy Sports here in mid-Ga has these Summit Viper Steel’s for $99 right now, whether in-store or online purchase…well worth the weight difference and price over the Viper SD if needing a good climber.
That’s an awesome deal! Thanks for the heads up and for watching 👍🏻
It’s comfortable for sure! But heavy as hell. And setting it up is very loud. The deer will hear you from a mile away. Nothing a little preparation and planning won’t fix. Figure out the most fast and efficient way to carry/use this climber and you would be fine
Hey Tony, thanks for the feedback. Best of luck this season 👍🏻
Thanks 👍. i just bought one
Hey Joee, that’s awesome! You’re going to love your Summit stand! They are the best. Best of luck this season 👍🏻
Been using this 4 seasons now. Good for the price. It is heavy and noisy. Need to modify a bit for the noise with some tape. And upgrade the carry straps.
Hey Danny! Thanks for sharing your experience 👍🏻
I want the original Steel climber. It was lighter than that. I have one now im going to recondition after 20 years of use its worn out. New seat and cables and its good. lookslike these parts will work and i wont have that extra 9 lbs. It was originally the top ofthe line back in the 90s and I gues its still better than a new one with less weight. Its definitely durable except for the seat and cable wear. They all wear out eventually. But they are by far the quietest stand I own. Chains (avoid at all cost and cables with pins avoid at all cost or you will be sitting on the ground when you loose one.
Hey Robert, thanks for checking out my channel and for the info! Summit makes some quality products that are comfortable, quiet and innovative. They are definitely built to last as well (as you’ve mentioned). Thanks for the feedback and best of luck this season 👍🏻
Just got for Christmas gift🤙
That’s awesome, Jordy! You’re gonna love it! 👍🏻
God bless! Thanks for the video
Thanks so much CSHIFFLETT Gaming! Much appreciated and may God bless you this hunting season 👍🏻
Anybody know where or how to get or make gun rest for steel viper. The one sold on Summit web site doesn't fit.
great vid....but the green strap goes around the tree and the UPPER part..............
3. Wrap the supplied green tourniquet buckle strap (1” green strap with spring loaded buckle) around the tree and through the
seat frame as shown in figure 22. Securely tighten the strap to prevent the notched teeth area from losing contact with the tree.
Hey Matt, thanks for checking out my channel. You are 100% correct! I think I may have previously pinned a comment that corrected my error. Best of luck this season 👍🏻
@@mountainbuck You too!
It's safer having the strap around the bottom. I actually use a thin ratchet strap on top and bottom
Great video ! 5 stars ⭐️
Hey Sofia, thanks so much! I really appreciate that! Best of luck this season 👍🏻
My carry straps keep coming undone. Once I have it on my shoulder it will fall right off because the straps come undone
Man with them stirrups like that idk how you get up the tree lol
lol
Beast mode that stand isn’t light!
Haha thanks cmack and thanks for checking out my channel 👍🏻
Your videos are super helpful!! The instructions on these are horrible!! Thank you!!
Hey thanks so much for the positive feedback, Andrew! I appreciate it! 👍🏻
Great video…Help me make my decision to get one…that and academy had them for $99! Having a $50 gift card! Didn’t hurt either. lol. $50 for a climber seems like a win to me!
Great deal on that Steel! You’re going to love it!
I got one not long ago and have many things to say about it after going on my first hunt. I feel like the teeth that actually hold you in the tree are not gonna hold in place and almost feel like I was sliding down. Also how could I hunt with a compound bow out of it? I know k could stand up but I just know a deer would probably see/hear me. I have one more hunt tomorrow so any help would be appreciated.
Hey thanks for watching. Please be sure to secure the seat section to the tree with that 1” utility strap to ensure you are secured to the tree. Guys hunt out of these types of climbers with compound bows quite a bit. It’s all about the timing and having a feel for when to slowly and quietly make your move. Best of luck! 🦌👍🏻
Don’t be cheap and make sure to buy a 30 foot safety rope with a prusik knot tied into it. 25 feet at the minimum, just don’t use a strap or 10 foot rope
Great advice! Thanks for watching and best of luck this season 🦌👍🏻
@@mountainbuck of course. I found myself 20+ feet in a tree with an 8 foot safety rope thinking about suspension trauma.
Excellent review sir
This is pretty cool. Don't have to buy climbing sticks
Hey Turbo K24! Yeah climbing treestands are great for getting in that perfect spot to hunt. 👍🏻
Bro your foot pegs are all wrong. It's a wonder you could even climb in it.
Hey Smoke AB! Haha good eye! Yeah I realized they were off after the intro and fixed them before I climbed.
Says weight limit is 300lb but would a 250 lb man feel safe in this? First year hunting deer and researching what all I’ll need
Hey thanks for watching! You should feel safe as long as you have it setup correctly and have your safety harness all set 👍🏻
