Diy platform idea

[gameflogger]

For the foam, you could use the dark grey closed cell used to make cartop strap on kayak racks

They work pretty good but clunky

I actually thread the ratchet strap through the st elbow 45. I use 3 of them per set, they lock together and I separate them before tightening the strap. With the inside and outside roughed up with a sawzall blade they are not loud.

Hahaha...that's EXACTLY what I'm using on this one!

Other option would be cut down floor mat into your side panel shape and stack them in till stuffed then attach other side panel... Harbor freight sells the foam mat

If you had stacked foam you could adjust how firm it was with 2 thru bolts

Now........ how are we going to pack it in? It might be a little bulky.

Im thinkin if you deflate the bag, it cuts half the bulk. The foam cells will fold into each other. Still gonna be a bit bulky, but in thinking its gonna weigh in a a pound or less. 12 inches wide and 9 inches deep.

Weldabeast, you have skills. Like bowhunting skills, welding skills, invention skills. Girls only like guys that have skills! Hope you got the movie quote. Anyway....... what if you welded a frame and strung it with mesh real tight to create a comfy trampoline type platform at an angle

Does the valve on the squeezy thingy count?

 

[Weldabeast]

As long as the ocb buckle doesn't count

But you weave such a fine tapestry with metal like a potter with clay.....

You don't think the foam is going to squeak on the vinyl blow up bag when it’s cold?

Probably. Maybe a fleece barrier between them?

I actually have a pack that I made for hauling in sticks that has several panels with foam padding and seams in the middle. Maybe if you made something of that sort with inside support, it could be dual purpose if the panels were folded into a triangle when it was strapped to the tree
