Bottom half of climber as steps

CDP - Does the TreeLounge foot section actually weigh 3lbs? I thought it would be 5-6lbs. Always looking for options. The LW HC I have weighs 4lbs & the Summit Openshot HC weighs 6lbs.

The rope and carabiners is so I can attach it to me or something in case it falls after I get up in the tree. But after I'm done climbing, I put a camo strap around the tree attached to the back corners of the lounger to secure it from falling.
Also, traditional tree stands have a platform that is parallel to the ground. The lounger is angled and gives the perfect foot platform as you are leaned back, so your ankles aren't at a awkward position.

Hey CDP could you provide the dimensions of how the Tree Lounger platform is laid out.
Thanks.

I personally would build it a little smaller. I wish this one was about 4" smaller

In length and width. Width it could be down to 18" where you stand and angle out where it contacts the tree.

Both. But the only advantage of having it long is so u can carry it out over your shoulder

I posted on here some were were I do that. I use my tree lounger bottom to climb. To me, it's by far the best way. I've tried other stands but the simplicity of the lounger bottom just works best. Its light weight and no noise. Throw it over my shoulder and take off. All 3 pounds of it. View attachment 5106

So basically, just cut the length down about a 1/2" passed where the back bar is in this picture and that would be the largest tree that you would be able to climb. What do you think the smallest would be.

I've climbed trees with this thing that was no larger than 8" because the wasn't anything else around. No larger that 20 " I would guess. But you would be better off just making it the same size till u figure out what u like yourself. The way it is now, it's balanced great.
 
Could it be made using a cable\belt and pin to lock it around the tree rather than the aluminum rails extending past the tree? It would be shorter but perhaps the cable\belt would just bend downward when pressure\weight was applied.

No. The ridged tubing that is across the back is what makes it stable. If it had a cable it would fold up on itself also
