Wilderness Treestand?
« on: July 26, 2011, 08:35:41 PM »
I was just thinking, about this and I came up with this idea. Since I use this for sleeping I thought well why not use it for a chair also.

Let me know what you think?

Wilderness treestand

It looks to me like it would work.  There used to be a treestand, I think it was called the Anderson tree sling that was a similar design, a harness system you hooked up to the tree.  I would say even just testing it out like that you really should wear a harness or safety belt.  You slip out of the backwards, even at that height and your going to be hurt pretty bad.  Treestand falls are nothing to mess with.  Great little video and nice job using something for more than one purpose.   :tup:

An interesting idea.  Very similar to the tree slings.  Good luck and always wear your harness. ;)

Looks intresting but you definitely want a harness.

The further one goes into the wilderness, the greater the attraction of its lonely freedom.
