Could Get Exciting

After a rigorous, unsuccessful search for a key, I will cut the lock off of this stand and enter. I’m not particularly fond of heights but I have to see the view from up there.

Looks a bit wobbly to me. Stay safe.

There is evidence of a partial collapse at some point but is tied off at three points with strapping. I don’t know what could be in there of so much importance it requires the lock that is on it. 2 cutting wheels and a sawzaw blade later the lock is polished but it still isn’t open. lol

Tuck and Roll!!

some times cutting the locking hardware is a lot easier than the lock

depends what it has for the locking hardware

That would be stainless also. I did scratch it though so after I reload, I will go back to work on the hardware.

What’s the height?

F Troop tower.

My guess is 27’ give or take 6”.

Prayers sent

Snatch the legs out from under it. Bet that lock pops when it hits the ground. LOL

Falling doesn't hurt a bit. It is when you suddenly stop falling that gets me every time.

i'd bring it down to my level and rent a bucket truck to check out the view after.should save ya a couple thousand in medical bills alone.

I’d like to save the door if possible. lol

Does it have heat and cable?

I have no idea, but you would think something is in there with the hasp and lock that was used. lol

Probably a print jar of Dobbins’ Backbreaker in there.

Probably locked just to keep kids out and keep them from getting killed. They climb up once and find out they cant get in and the thrill is over. On the other hand, you may have found Jimmy Hoffa.

or that Waldo dude everyone's been lookin for,for 30 yrs.

I call dibs on your traps

lol

Forget cutting the lock! Cut the legs off that back breaker!

Hobbie???

Are you in yet?

Ain’t happening with this lock, tried it and so has 3 others.

Well good Luck

I'd use a battery operated sawsall- cut around the lock and jam and then repair the damages.

^^^^^ Nice one ...lol

Did you do it the right way? Not trying to spread the lock but pulling the shackle up? I've got to see a picture of this beast!!

Dang !!!!!
That things got 911 written all over it!
I finally get in there and there would be an empty jar of Backbreaker and a herd of yellow jackets.

I’d give em the tree stand, and I aint lyin this time!

If an abrasive cut-off wheel on your grinder isn't doing it, get a diamond wheel. You can find one with tile supplies. It'll get hot but it'll cut about anything.

What's the backstory? Did you just find this in the woods?

Not going to lie, Im kinda excited to see the interior decor and view. Must have really tall deer there.

I'm with Braska Yoter.
What will we see?
Your deer are gonna get a krink in their neck.
Walk around goofy looking.

We bought the property. There is a cabin and 4 other buildings. We were given keys for the cabin and 3 other buildings. Two keys were missing, this stand and the pump house. I found the key to the pump house on a string in one of the smaller buildings.

No key for the stand. lol

Have you tried a heavy duty bolt cutter?

Canvasback can climb that ladder....

I’M IN!!!!!!



And what a disappointment. lol

Once the door was opened the sides felt way to flimsy to climb in, at least I ain’t gonna.

There was this muskrat trap inside.



Also took a couple pics from sitting in the doorway.

That's beyond sketchy. Make life easier.
Many options
Take a reciprocating saw and cut around the lock(s).
Hook up a leg to the truck.
Cut a whole in the floor
12 ga slug. Would be a blast for sure.
Tannerite.

Nnoooooooo way!My stomach starts to roll just looking at it.

Its a very thin line between bravery and stupidity lol... think you picked the right option..

Safely on the ground. that was fun though. Thanks for sharing in the anticipation. lol

Somebody’s needs to do some splainin to the prior owner what “Location” and “Setting on Sign” means.
Good God from home, didn't know mushrats knew how to climb.
Reckon they was bungi jumpin?

Probably the reason for the area 51 lock on the door.
