Don't worry. I know i am to big and you ant going to upset me. You did not come off as a A hole. So no worrys man. Most peoples crap them selfs when i tell them my weight. Then even more when i say i hunt from a 15 foot tree stand. Sadly with no harness 
I can not find one to fit me right. Though a guy told me the biggest hunter safter harness would be ok as far as weight if it will fit i need to go see if one will fit though. I can walk a mile and half in the woods to a stand if need be. O just tend to be huffing and puffing when i get there.

One other suggestion that was overlooked, and I don't mean to be an a-hole, but it's time to lose some weight. If you are worried about a 2 man tree stand not being able to hold you, that should be a hint.
With that said, I hope you have a happy and healthy hunting season. I have to give you credit, if I was pushing 5 bills I don't think I would want to be climbing a ladder stand 15 feet in the air.

Weighing 475 lbs, if you fall out of a tree, you are going to break something, more than likely your neck. I don't want to see you dead in a headline somewhere.

FYI Even a commercial ladder is only rated at 300lbs. I don't know what the ladders on stands are rated at.
