    Not really sure what to say about that thing. Not much info on the website other than a video. I guess my first question would be....do I need a building permit to install it?

    Not for me, but I could see it being pretty sweet for older or handicapped hunters.

    Is this your company and you're looking for feedback?
    Since this is the internet and I can give my opinion with

    1. Um details maybe? - The website is aweful. It gives absolutely no details. No, i'm not going to email to ask. It's your product, you sell it to me. What the website says to me is that you care so little about your customers that you're not even willing to tell give them details.
    2. Prices?
    3. Is it quiet?
    4. How mobile?
    5. Weight?

    As stated above, maybe a handicapped hunter would really appreciate this, it's a good idea for them, but again, we have absolutely no details.

    I can pull my stand out of my truck, throw it on my back, walk a mile and within minutes can be 15+ feet in the air. It doesn't so much appear to be the case with this.

    Guys

    The video was just a brief product introduction of what is to come. We are in a stage of development where we cant give to much detail as of yet due to patent liability. Cost hasnt been finalized either. Yes it will cost more than todays tree stand does no doubt. Yes it is quiet. It is just as light as todays ladder stands but it comes with a handy cart for transport. It is theft proof. Theft proof meaning that if someone steals it they have to destroy it. If they destroy it they cant use it. They will have to call me for replacement parts. All parts are stamped with serial #'s. The weight capacity is 450lbs. It has all kinds of accessories to go with it. Please feel free to ask more questions. I will answer all that I can right now.

    If it's theft proof, can it be moved?

    You might want to preface the video with that bit of insight.

    That said, I don't see a huge market for it. Any market, yes. Handicapped for sure. If it's cost effective, that would be huge for that hunter. Most people on this site, as myself, prefer to be highly mobile.

    I say go for it, however, you need to make sure to keep costs low, but quality high, oh the joys of manufacturing.
