Oh, I forgot to add something to my post #22...
I'd like to see the
@Samcirrus stand have a seat component available. Something that would be easily detached or maybe not even part of the platform itself...maybe just a strap-on to the tree type deal. I made some similar to our Andy stands out of 5/4" deck boards they worked well, but the size of them were just too small. I think the concept was a good one.
If you guys designed a small-moderately sized (somewhat packable) stand under 5#, in the Andy style, with some sort of removable, or "stand-alone" seat, you'd have something that I think everyone (but the die-hard ROS guys) would like. The platform being 100% usable would allow turning for weak side shots, and also could be converted/used as a small conventional hang-on. Put me down for a couple......
