Ladder Stand
Y'all should have seen the dancing among the trees. [:-]I bolted this 17 ft. tall 65 lb. monster together. []Then got it facing the tree right, and started lifting it up from seat end hand by hand down those rungs. We were all over that few feet of ground. []I struggled fer many minutes trying to get it up and up against tree. [8D]Fer a few minutes it was a toss up as to witch were going to win the dance contest. [:-]I finally got it in position and it were a very hairy climb up it to put ratchet binders on and it locked off. []Weren't no breeze but i were shaking like a leaf in a wind storm. [&o]Good thing i had already used bathroom prior to the go around! [:'(] Not bad fer a 56 year old fat man!

RE: Ladder Stand
I don't like to be tied to one spot and don't have the money to buy a bunch of stands....and hunt public land, so it's climbers for me.
I will put my old heavy climber way back in (a couple of miles) and chain it a couple of days before the season opener. If someone wants to steal it they will need bolt cutters and half a day to hump it out[:@]. It goes about 45lbs I have a nice 17lb summit climber that I use 90% of the time.

Nah, not really!
4.3 V6
Like a charm!
Any where I park or I have a camping toilet inside which I can take out and use. I have a cooler inside filled with drinks and food. I have a chainsaw with meinside. Anything I might need I have with me.
Ok Reb, now I've seen everything!
How many horsepower in that tree stand of yours
is the A/C working?
Does it have a head?
I have a High Band / Low Band cb radio up there.
When it starts to rain, I climb down and go inside.

RE: Ladder Stand
Oh, I almost forgot the reason for the original post but I too just bought my second ladder stand but can't put it up till my dad gets back from prison ministry in brazil. It's twenty feet tall and when I tried to test it out in the back yard I got about half way up the rungs and the seat end came smashing donw and the feet end went up, like a good woman it's top heavy. Will need to have dad help hold the feet end to get it up.
