Well here is the next evolution of my platform. Thanks to
@Sheldon I have a good way to cam it over. I have significantly reduced the length of post I use. 4 inches maybe. It's an effort to cam over but its tight when done that way. Look at the bottom picture. With the strap hanging slack it stays put (after use). I could never satisfactorily alleviate the top of the post pulling away from the tree. Shortening the post helped likely in large part because the shorter the post the less pronounced the pull away will be. My main concern was whether or not I'd be able to cam it while standing on sticks. Well I can. I found it easier to do when already tethered as opposed to using the LB still. This introduced a problem with getting onto the platform though because it was directly above the sticks. No easy way to keep slack out...dumbass. So note to self I will place platform more to the side next time to make getting onto it easier. I use my tether at chin height and keep a short bridge.
Now that I've built this one and observed some of these tree suit platforms...I'm not sure if this will make it to the end of the season before getting replaced......jerks......
Weight on my digital scale is 4.12lbs so 4lbs 2 ounces.
