New hang on stand.. cheap

The strap uses a different style strap like you use to fasten your safety harness to the tree. It also uses a ciinch strap on the bottom half.. I think i will replace the top strap with a real ratchet strap to get it more tight to the tree..Maybe even add another rathcet strap in the middle/bottom.

Sounds like a good idea.. if i was in welding i would do the same! Just be careful with it. Today i was working on cutting some dead limbs/cutting shooting "holes" in this cedar tree that is right by the spot where im gonna plant a food plot this year (mostly corn with soybeans right in front of me and a small field of winter wheat to my left) There are alot of limbs on the tree and i dont need any steps to get into the stand. I was thinking about buying some lumber and tryin to make me a little platform where i can sit on a bucket and shoot out of the tree! lol if not i will use this compact hang on stand since there is not much room to mount the stand( i tried to keep as much limbs as possible for cover) I am not even sure if i will be able to stand up in the stand or not lol. Should be a KILLER stand location if my plots do good. The field is mostly thick with saplings and i have about 5 mowed paths that funnel into the field i have cleared out for the plot. Its basically a ground blind in a tree LOL the cedar smell should cover my scvent a little too!
