I seldom carry a camara when I'm out in the woods.. I've seen a few of those 'non-climbing' stands in the past. Nice photo. So, how long does it take moss to grow?

I've come across quite a few over here around the Potlatch/Princeton area while shed hunting.  The majority actually look to be maintained.

I know of one down on the coast that's just boards across a couple limbs and it's ancient looking.  I have a picture of it somewhere I'll try to find it.

Found it!

My dad actually climbed up there and sat on it.  Spooky to say the least he said, it was about 30 feet up overlooking a small brushy meadow in the bottom of a draw.

They were split, like an old split timber fence post split in two, probably cedar.

I wish i had a picture of it but at the Nile there is a old dinning room table chair strapped to a tree probably about 100' up. I'm sure a logger or some one was just messin around but it sure makes you stop a wonder what the f---.

I agree. It's on the edge of an old clear cut so thats why i was guessing a logger.

It may not look like it... But this one has been there for years. The DNR/private land boundry is a bit blury where it is so I decided to move on and not use it.
