A long time ago I saw these old homemade wood treestands that hung with a big braided rope.

From what I was told a 'pattern' used to exist but I never did find it anywhere.

Anyone know of such a beast? It used the cam-lok principle to hang the stand on the tree and then loop the rope around the tree and into a groove cut into the wood TS to lock it on. It wasn't a self-climber or anyhting - just a solid, fixed stand.

I guess the idea of the pattern was to be able to make multiple units up in the home shop at low cost.

I have the pattern.

I'd love to get a copy of that. Would you be interested in perhaps selling a copy of it?

PM me your email address. I'll send it to you. You know, if I could figure out how to attach the document here I'd just post it. In the meantime I'll e-mail.

Thanks, Scoobie.
To all interested, Use a poly rope. The nylon ones stretch. I hunted in stands like these for years. I've still got a couple. If you want to prolong their life, put fiberglass on the inside of the "V"'s. They get chewed up eventually. I have yet to find a stand, commercial or otherwise, that is more solid and quiet than those.
