A sheet of lath (like they use in plaster and masonary work) screwed/tacked to the plywood would solve the slippiness.

Thanks will recommend that to him. He’s an older fella that I help get whatever he shoots out
I have a book that has that design in it for DIY stands, I'll have to dig it up.

It looks like it has backpack straps on the bottom of the stand to drag it in and out of the woods, that's super convenient.

Thanks for posting that. I had never seen this method before. The seller should try including this information on his Craiglist ad. Once you see it explained, it does make it seem slightly less death-trap-ish.
Dad and the guys in the bow club I grew up in made a stand similar to these. They also designed a climber that was very similar to the Baker stand about 5 years before the baker hit the market. They also were building stackable climbing sticks back around 68 or 69. 5 foot sections of conduit. Before they started building some nice gear they had some stands that were metal folding chairs lag bolted to a tree so you could stand in the seat.

I've seen stuff like that out in the swamp I hunt. My favorite was a chair chained to a cedar tree. The guy was climbing branches, and resting his feet on one.
I think that stand is the same physics as a WE stepp, right? The deeper I've gotten into the saddle game the more I realize these ideas aren't new, just newly promoted. Heck my local Iroquois were probably hanging from football shaped saddles 400 years ago.

That looks familiar....
Old School DIY Platform: Part 1
So I've been wanting a light weight easily portable saddle for some time. The Predator looked like it would fit the bill and I got on the band wagon early, placing my order. I was among the first to receive my new Predator and was tickled pink to get it and try it out. After inspection and...

Old School DIY Platform: Part 2
The 1/4" Amsteel rope came today so I was able to splice it to the platform thanks to G2's video. My method of attachment is somewhat unique and is something I've used for years in the past. It has always worked well for me even in years past I used rope from the hardware store instead of the...

That looks safer than most of the ladder stands I have seen in the woods.Check this contraption out that’s for sale! Safety first? I don’t think so!!!!!
I posted this in the wrong thread originally but thought I'd put it where I intended to.
I can't throw too many stones. As I've mentioned before, my start hunting predates the modern tree stand. These haven't been on a tree in over 30 years but they're still hanging in my back garage. They served me well but really, looking back it's a wonder I didn't die at some point.
