A sheet of lath (like they use in plaster and masonary work) screwed/tacked to the plywood would solve the slippiness.Rather what would you do to make it not slippery?

How about these two for sale on craigslist...
Before the Billy Mays of mobile hunting came along, there was this.
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.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.
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!!!!!View attachment 25203View attachment 25204View attachment 25205
Yours were way over built.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.
