Hello.
My name is Nick Roy and I just ordered a web from you to take on a self guided bear hunt with a buddy.
We couldn't take conventional tree stands due to weight and room restrictions.
I was able to take Guido's web.
I shot a black bear from it and it preformed beautifully!
The bear never new I was there and I was able to move into shooting position noislessly while he was walking in.
I love the thing!
here are a few pics. Maybe you can use them to promote your product.
It deserves it.
I forgot to mention that the hunt was in the interior of Alaska.
Thanks,
Nick Roy

Hi Butch!
You probably don't remember me, but I purchased a web for my boyfriend Jason last Christmas. We were in Michigan at the time, with plans to move to Iowa. We were truck drivers then, also. Hopefully that might ring a bell. I spoke with you a couple times on the phone as well.
Anyway, when we spoke you asked me to let you know if/when Jason got a deer with your web, and boy did he!! We bought a house in Iowa just after Christmas, and we are now out of the truck (thank God!).
The second day Jason went out hunting, he whacked this monster using your web. He absolutely loves it! He says that it is very comfortable, and loves the fact that he is totally portable. He has a lot of spots that he has cleared out in various parts of Iowa and Missouri, and having the web makes it so much easier than lugging around a heavy tree stand. He worked very hard during the summer scouting and clearing shooting lanes, and his hard work totally paid off!
Jason had seen this particular deer a few times during the summer and when he was in velvet. He got him just before dark, and came and got me to help get it back to the car. You should have seen us. You would have laughed your head off. I had never done anything like that before, and it was absolutely thrilling! He hadn't tracked it yet, so when we got back to it, we had to track it in the dark. He told me that he thought it was a 120-130, and when we got to it and he pulled his head up, both of our jaws hit the dirt. After he gutted it, it still weighed over 200 pounds. The car was over 400 yards from where we were, and we could only drag it about a quarter of the way. Fortunately our next door neighbor was home and he and Jason took his truck back out there and got it.
When we got home and measured it, it wound up being a 170-3/4!!!! Woo hoo!!!! Here's one to add to your hall of fame!
Thanks again!

I have had, and been using the "Guido's web" off and on for a few years now. I also have a number of conventional stands hung up in a number of places that I also use on a regular basis. This past fall I had a friend coming down to hunt for a few days and I was going to be doing the filming. The place in question already had a conventional stand in place so I went in and set up a second stand the day before the hunt.
The next morning seen both of us up in our stands, it was turning out to be an uneventful day, so we decided to call it a morning, my partner climbed down from his stand and I removed my safety harness and was getting ready to come down when my stand broke. There I was on a 19' freefall. Too make a long story short, I fractured 3 vertebrae, broke my right heal and fractured my right wrist, along with a pile of other stuff.
Not bad for the first day of the deer hunt...... here it is 5 months later and I am just now able to draw back my bow again, the doctor says it will be well over a year before my back is feeling the way I think it should be. I'm concerned that I will not be able to sit on a conventional stand again due to discomfort, but I can honestly say I have since sat in the Web and the back support is ideal for me, not to mention that you are safely tethered from the ground up. This alone is a selling feature that I don't think many other stands can lay claim too.

Hello Butch
I can sit in complete comfort for as long as needed in this stand. Unlike any lock-on, climber or
ladder I've ever used. I also like the ultra light weight, and being able to wear it wherever I need to hunt.
Strength is built into every part of it. Extremely quiet, and east to set up.
Thanks for a great product.

Butch,
I hunted three stands that were set by the land owner without success. Then I set up on a tree line with Guido's Web
at 2:30PM. Took 15 minutes to set up, including steps. At 5:00PM I killed this deer. This was my first Kansas hunt
but not my first time in Guido's Web and it definetely will NOT be the last time I hunt in it.
THANKS FOR MAKING MY HUNT A SUCCESS

Butch,
Thanks for making such a great product. Hunted 13 days in a row before getting it done on the last morning.
I think in the last 7 days of the hunt I set up in 12 different trees.
Most of the sets were done in the dark. There is no way I could have had that much mobility and stealth
and I don’t think I have found a straight tree in Kansas yet.
Thanks again for having hands down the most innovative deer stand on the market to date.
Thanks

Last September my wife Holly and I experienced the Black bear hunt of a lifetime at Arrowhead Wilderness Lodge
(phone# 218-330-1353) in Northern Minnesota. We were able to enjoy this hunt together in large part due to your
terrific tree stand Guido’s Web. My wife, equipped with a good book and her camera, was situated in a 15 foot
ladder stand and I just above her in my "Web". The web stand allowed me to sit comfortably, quietly and relatively
motionless for hours at a time. This is something I have not been able to do from a conventional treestand due to a
back injury I sustained several years ago. On day 5 of our hunt, after already passing on one bear because it was
not large enough, I shot this 240 pound bruin at just 15 yards. I would recommend Arrowhead Wilderness Lodge to
anyone interested in a high quality Black bear hunt and Guido’s Web to anyone that wants to be able to sit comfortably,
quietly and relatively motionless for hours on end until that shot of a lifetime materializes.
Butch,
your stand is excellently thought out and well constructed. I
especially like the redundant safety feature of the double belt hookup.
Made me feel more secure and the comfort level when in the seated position
has no equal. (I know this, as I’ve used about 15 different brands of
stands and built some of my own design and construction) Also great stand
aside, YOUR customer service is unbelievable. ( I’m sure you talk to a
lot of people and may not remember but I’m the guy that ordered 2 days
before Christmas and received the day after Christmas. You called me on
the 27th as well, just to make sure I got it and see if I had any
questions, we talked for about 20 minutes.) When I asked how you possibly
got it to me so quickly, You told me that you drove 15 miles to a place
that takes packages 24 hours and that’s how it got it so fast. I
appreciate you and your service especially since we are in the middle of
the (deer) season when everyday counts.
Thanks again and I appreciate you.

Guido,
Your stand worked like a dream. I have been able to hunt all
the places that I really needed to be hunting all along but could not due to the
tree being too small, not straight enough, or not tall enough. You have put
all the trees in the right place. I can pack in my stand, gear, and decoy all
at once and stay all day (12 hrs) and not be uncomfortable and fatigued.
Amazing, very steady to shoot from, safe and easy to set up, and quiet.
Already have several people ready to buy one. They all let me be the
test dummy but now they see the light.
Butch,
I placed an order with you on 10/29/06 for a lower lumbar support belt to be added to my stand.
Thank you for your call to inform me that the lumbar belt was not add on accessory and that it had to be sewn to the stand.
I am returning my stand to get the lower lumbar belt sewn on. Thanks again for your timely call. Now that’s true customer service.
I also want to commend you on designing the "perfect" deer stand for the hunter who Likes to move around a lot or has multiple properties
to hunt. Just to let you know how comfortable the stand is to me, on the second morning that I hunted this year I was fortunate enough to
harvest a fine eight point buck with my bow out of your stand. I climbed up to the top of a ladder stand I have had in the particular
area for about 3 years and just fastened your stand above it and used the seat of the ladder stand to rest my feet on. That’s all you hear
about these days is how comfortable a mesh seat is. Well that comfortable mesh seat compared to your stand will only be touching my feet
from now on.
I have shown your stand to many of my friends and their first question is always the same. "How can you trust that strap to hold you
up in the tree?" My answer or I guess I should say question is always the same too. "You trust that safety harness strap to save your
life when your metal stand breaks don’t you?"
Thanks Again

Thank you for calling yesterday. I watched the video and then went outside and set the stand up....wow I have a (brand name deleted)
climbing stand. I got up in my (brand name deleted) this morning and it was cold and wet...it actually slipped a bit while I was about
20 feet off the ground (the upper part slipped). I became uncomfortable and my legs were feeling slightly pinched. When I put it
up the day before I told myself that I'd rather leave it strapped to the tree and have it ready in the morning than setting it up
in the dark. It wore me completely out backpacking it into the woods and setting it up...and it's supposed to be one of the lighter
and better climbers! I strapped my new Web stand around a tree in my backyard and became instantly familiar with my new Web
stand....what comfort and convenience. I was sitting there moving about and just imagining my new possibilities with the portability
and smart set-up of the Web stand. No more 20-25 lb. stands on my back...the dread of clanging those heavy, dangerous, metal stands
has ended pretty much..I'm going to devote the rest of the NY hunting season to pushing my Guido's Web stand to the limits.
Thanks again,

I received the X-Large-Tall Stand today. Thank-you again for your attention in the size mix-up.
It was my fault for ordering the wrong size! Therefore it is only right that I pay the return shipping.
You guys are a CLASS ACT and I genuinely appreciate your concern. It’s refreshing to deal with quality people / company etc,
particularly in this day & age.
Again, my sincere Thanks to you and your staff. It has been a pleasure.

I got home tonight about 11:00pm. I could not wait to open the goodies inside of the boxes that ups left me.
Butch your tape answers all my questions. Your tapes were great. I have a new catch phrase for your stand, it
goes like this; the only stand on the market that is a self contained 4 point safety harness, back pack, deer stand,
that weighs 7.5 lbs. The stand that holds you to a tree like a spiders web and lets you climb trees like a cat squirrel
to hunt deer!}. That quote you can use, because it tells all about your product and the benifits it has to offer to the hunter.
You have a sure winner here. I look forward to meeting you and helping you get your product out to the hunters.
It is the deer stand that I have been searching for 20 years. I love it.

Hey Butch,
My name is John Blumberg and I'm from Michigan. I would like to share a story with your
readers.
one day my daughter and I were looking through a hunting magazine
and came across this ad Guidos Web Mobile Harness stand total weight 7.5 lbs.
So she looked at me and said Dad you dont need it, you allready have
too many stands! Well thats the truth of the matter, for years I've tried almost
every ladder stand, hang on stand, several climbing stands.
But nothing is as lightweight, comfortable and easy to use as this one!
Bar none there's not another one on the market like it. I can't wait
until Hunting season.
Thanks Butch.
John Blumberg.

Butch,
The first time I've seen you was at the Cajun Dome in Lafayette, LA, during the outdoor show.
My curiosity kept drawing me back to your booth. You and I got to talking about your stand and I was able to try it on. After fifteen minutes of sitting in the Guido's web, I have to say I was sold on it. My back had been hurting me from being on my feet for three hours and the pressure was gone after sitting in the web. I had back surgery about five years ago and for something to ease the pressure that quick, did impress me highly. I'm sorry to say that I haven't made a kill out of it yet, but I have used the Guido's web this hunting season. It's very comfortable, quiet and very easy to adjust while in position and to maneuver.
Again, with someone who has had surgery it is very easy to maneuver through the woods that I could not do with other stands being too heavy and bulky. They would just wear my body down to hump these other products plus gun, bow or anything else.
Thanks again!

I am a hunter who likes to be on the move. It is easier to hunt trophy white tailed deer when the pressure gets
put on them with Guido’s Web. I also happen to be a Chiropractic Physician and am very self conscious of spine
support and proper sitting positions. I do believe Butch Palasini has perfected the proper sitting position with
optimum lumbar support with this stand. The strap placements and firm seat give it the strength it needs to hold
a hunter in a correct position to minimize back and neck fatigue, and the best thing is each stand can be adjusted
to fit exactly the way you want with the specific support you desire. The best thing about this is, it allows a
hunter to stay comfortable for longer periods of time allowing you to stay longer; therefore increasing your odds
of getting the game you are after. Another nice feature is the standing option that is possible with only minimal
effort and movement that still gives you the correct spinal support. This stand is definitely the most comfortable
and mobile stand I have ever used. If you are interested in mobility, un-paralleled comfort, and proper spine support,
you need to check this product out. Thank you for such a innovative stand idea for Guido’s Web will truly be the standard
of future hunting stands.

I'm a deep woods thick cover kind of hunter. Mostly, I favor, and hunt,
Pennsylvania's "big woods" and swamps. I favor these a lot over the
farms & meadows my son and son-in-law hunt quite a bit. Flat and open
terrain is nice but I seldom roam it.
Now, I carry your "Web" on my back and about 7 pounds of Jim's "Stepps".
In short, I at last have a small compact "climbing" tree stand that is
truly under 15 pounds (complete) that allows me to get my feet about
15 feet above the ground in open or heavy thick cover. I can "skinny"
this load down another 2 to 3 pounds by packing simple inexpensive strap-on
steps of good quality. For a lot of years, and I do mean years+, I've been
mentioning to just about every maker of climbing tree stands I've had the chance
to to "wake up" and lighten the load. Instead, what I've seen over the years are annual
new arrivals of heavier and heavier "portable climbing" stands showing
up each succeeding year. Dumb! .............. at least to Tom.
I don't understand why a hunter, unless he always climbs the same tree,
close to the car, has tolerance for weight and bulk?
Guido's Web is light, beautifully compact, soft and comfy, safe and
secure, mobile as all get out and busts through the woods and swamps
with a lot fewer snags & grabs than even my favorite metal climber
(made by another Tom).
Now, if only someone will just make super lightweight climbing steps
(of the type that do not screw into the tree), I'll be an even more
happy wanderer. I am quite happy, and satisfied, with how my Guido's
Web lets me constantly reposition my body and line of sight along
about a 270 degree arc around the tree just by doing no more than
easily and very quietly move my feet as to "walk"
around the tree on a few extra strap-on steps "up top"! Today's
strap-ons seem pretty tough and secure (at least to and for me) and my
"Web" is a true body harness fall arrestor for backup. Most folks seem
to like the heavier and more bulky strap on ladder steps. Fine for
them.
Thanks for a great product and the also for the excellent and much
appreciated customer service accorded me both before and after my purchase.
Sorry to say it, but, I don't have a nice picture to send to you ...... this
year's PA Black Bear was not quite big enough to shoot but the 185
pound 10 point whitetail sure was!
Sincerely,
Tom Huff

I've hunted in many top brand treestands over the years, but in my Guido's Web I feel safer and it's #1 in comfort.

My name is Willard Taylor and I hunt in the northwest corner of Alabama. In September of 2005 I went to the Sportsman Bonanza in Tupelo, MS. and met Butch Palasini. He introduced me to the Guido's Web Tree-stand. I have to admit that at first I was a little skeptical of this tree-stand but during the 2005 deer season I hunted and used this stand and absolutely fell in love with it. I own several other tree-stands, but none of them compare to this one. This stand gives me the freedom to hunt in areas where I was unable to before. If you can put on a turkey vest then you can easily carry this tree-stand.
Thanks Butch for introducing me to the Guido's Web Tree-stand.
This is a picture of a nine point buck taken while using this great stand.
This stand is the safest and most comfortable that I've used in my 27
years of deer hunting. The surprising feature to me is that it is rock
solid for shooting gun or bow. This stand is a true winner.

What is the number one hunting accident in Tennessee? It is falling from tree stands.
Why? The question of why can be summed up in two words: denial and laziness.
Denial—the mentality “It will not happen to me.” Laziness—putting the safety harness
on “will take to much time” or “I’ll put it on once I get situated in the tree.” If a
hunter climbs a tree to hunt it is a matter of when, not if, a fall occurs. Will you
be protected? The web harness stand offered by Guido’s Outdoors is an absolute marvel.
You wear it as a pack. When you get to the selected tree, drop the seat, snap two buckles,
attach tether and climb the tree by your chosen method. Simple, Fast, Safe, Comfortable.

Butch,
This is got to be the lightest, quietest, most comfortable,
easy to use stand that I have ever used in the 30+ years of my hunting.
It improves shooting accuracy and the freedom to move around in the
stand without fear of falling off the platform, because you are in a
harness instead. This stand is unreal!!! Seeing is not always
believing, till you sit in this stand and try it out. Then you will believe!! This should have been the
first stand I bought [ where have you been] not the last one!!!
KEEP IT UP!!
