Looks good. The only reason I don't build my own is by the time I get material and the time to build them I can buy one cheaper. I buy them for 75 to 100$ if you watch the market on stands.

Truth Snowy.

I have 17 metal stands in Two 80 acre woods parcels

I sold my Beef cows and 9 acres of my 23 to pay off my mortgage in June and have been getting ready for Deer season earlier than years I had the 100 rd bales to deal with.

I just felt like building an old school Green treat stand like I used to 35 years ago.

not a need, just felt like it. Thanks for the compliment.

I don’t understand all the negativity? Seriously. I understand we all need to be safe and also look out for one another, but The stand looks well constructed and safe if attached properly. Honestly I think I’d trust 330s construction if that stand probably more than the welds and chinesium steel on the $75 no room for your feet ladder stand you can buy. I grew up hunting in stands built completely of pieces of ash trees growing where we built the stands. Made the ladders out of the ash too trimmed down with a hatchet to a flat face. All nailed, no fancy screws like nowadays. The stands were perfectly safe for or least a handful of years or more and then needed some TLC and fixin. Anyways, be safe 330 and shoot em up! Happy trapping! ScottW

Cool, but way too elaborate for me. I can't find my sketch now, but I posted a pic. of it a couple years back.

Picture this:

Three saplings aprox 3" dia growing a couple feet apart. These are the uprights. cut a few more a foot or two longer the distance between them. Using paracord lash one onto two of the uprights, a foot or so above the ground. then another, a bit above from one of those uprights to another. go as high as what makes sense on the site.
the last crossmember is the seat.

There is your stand. Customize it or abandon it, as you see fit.

Even if I found my sketch I would not post it again. Way too scary for you sissys.

Looks good to me. What's all this talk about wall and heaters? A latter stand to me is a platform. Spent over 40 years hunting out of platform tree stands such as 330's with no problems and most of those years I was 300+ pounds. Never used a tree house to hunt out of. Just a platform and sometimes a seat.

Would you mind if I took an insurance policy out on you? I would like a new side by side.

this is a joke right?
