    I have plans for a hang on hunting tree stand you can purchase for $10. The cost to build the stands are under $10 as well. You could build 5 stands for $50. It takes about an hour to build one and there is no welding involved. visit http://www.trytobuildthis.com
    for more information.

    You could make those alot lighter by using wood that has termite damage! I'm sure you could shed off a few pounds then! Would never sit in that stand!

    I wouldn't trust that thing to support me 20+ feet in the air. Just what I want to do on a weekend, play a tree stand version of Russian roulette.

    I believe you get what you pay for.

    If we were going to use wood, we'd build a permanant stand with 2x6s and such. :)

    What about the tree steps? Cut 3 inch blocks and nail 1 8 penny nail into it right?

    I'll say the same thing that I say to people building their own out of steel. Leave the treestand making to people that make treestands, it's too important not to.

    What? If it did hold me, I couldn't sit in it. There is no way my butt would last 5 minutes in that thing. Sorry man. May want to rethink your business ventures. There may be some law suites in your future.

    Can't believe that anyone would think this is a good idea. This has lawsuit written all over it for sure! I love my kids and family so I will stick with my LoneWolf's!

    Why doesn't a MOD just delete this thread. It's stupid and pointless.

    Kinda like letting my wife lift me up in the front end loader to practice shooting from a tree stand; and I trust her.
