I’ve seen my buddy who is 6’5” 290 do this several times. Then he holds it while I go up and strap it to the tree.How in the world did that guy walk that stand up the tree by himself?!?! Is he from Krypton or am I missing something?
And oh yeah, welcome!
That dude ain't 6'5" or 290# and that's a twenty foot ladder that supposedly weighs 95#. The leverage needed about halfway up.... well.... that math hurts my head.
We have two ropes in the box that you tie on to either side of the foot platform. One or two guys get on the back side of the tree and pull the stand up while the other guy walks/guides the ladder up to the tree. We have a video on the website media page that shows installing it on the tree. That video shows all three of us putting it up. YOu can do it with two though.How in the world did that guy walk that stand up the tree by himself?!?! Is he from Krypton or am I missing something?

The total weight of the stand is 121 lbs. We have sleeves that go on the ladder joints with two bolts that give a lot more rigidity for the ladder as well. Us Skunk Apes are 6'3" and mostly below 250 lbs! It can be done with mere middle aged mortals!!! Thank you for the questions!That dude ain't 6'5" or 290# and that's a twenty foot ladder that supposedly weighs 95#. The leverage needed about halfway up.... well.... that math hurts my head.
Oh, yeah, I forgot to mention that it is twenty feet to the seat! The shooting rail will be up around twenty two or so feet, but it is adjustable for height of the hunter.
OK, THAT makes a lot more sense.
