I leave my hanger stands out all year. About a 12-15 at any given time.
I loosen the straps at end of season and inspect late summer while prepping them (aka see if anything chewed on or obviously rotted).
I take down lifelines (have them on every stand) after the season, so they are out about six months a year.
How often do you all replace straps?
How often do you replace the cables?
How long do you trust a life line assuming its in good shape, 5 years, 10 years etc?
Any other best practices out there?
