A man I know was a fabricator for 35 years and built several lightweight stands for him to use hunting back in the swamps around here. Since he’s gotten older he decided to give them to me to use. I haven’t put a scale on them yet but they all probably weigh 6 or 7 pounds, not as lightweight as a saddle but it’ll work for what I want. He used chain to hang the stand, and that works but obviously the chain adds weight and is really loud trying to set it up on the tree. I’m also looking into replacing the cables supporting the platform since they’re rather old. Has anyone used amsteel to hang a stand or to support the platform?
