I dunno what make of stand that is, but I wonder....

How the heck does a person SAFELY climb in/out of that thing? Perhaps your tree steps / climbing sticks would have to go up higher than the seat; then you somehow step around the tree trunk, step down backwards onto the seat, then step down backwards onto the platform?

It is a hunters loung tree stand. I have one and after you get into the tree and in it, it is very comfortable. Getting it in the tree is a chore and getting into the stand is in my opinion a real danger. So I always have my safty harness when I use this stand. I get into it using a set of climbing sticks that extend 6' beyond the platform up the tree and like I said I am using the safty harnes from the ground until I get back on the ground after the hunt.

just saw this one... but I would have to agree on that. That rail on the side is a real danger if you have to step around it to get into the stand. Any slight shift wouldnt be good. I personally wouldnt own something I was afraid to get into

Mine is really solid in the tree. I have ratchet straps on the top and the bottom. The thing I do not like is that you have to step out so far from the tree to get into the stand and out of the stand. I guess that if I was still in my 20ies it would not bother me, But with age comes caution, or brains one or the other.

That is a copy of the tree lounge, I have one too.
It is the most comfortable chair I have ever sat in, indoors or out. It has only been in a tree once and it was quite a chore to get it up there. It wasn't an issue to climb in to, but it was a nightmare getting it up the tree.
Mine is still like new and isn't likely to see another tree, I use it as a chair by the firepit in my backyard. :D
For the Ontario guys, you can get that chair at the army surplus store in London, $120 if I recall.
I had to rent a Zoom Boom to get it in to the tree:

Then I figured, "who needs the tree"? :D

I checked out Tree lounge and all they are currently offering are climbers. Thanks for all the info. I’m going to keep looking. Maybe I can talk this guy out of his. :) :D

Pyd
With a tree stand like that and camo on the "climber" you could even retreive your prize without leaving your seat. :D :D
It would be a little noisy at first light but they would get used to it :wink:
