I Just got my R.Runner and its great. I have a DIY Platform I made similar to the one Nutternuster Tried some time ago. I cannot figure out how to post pics but if someone cannot afford a new platform I'll mail them this one for ship costs. It has served me well for two seasons and is held to tree w/a ratchet strap. If you want to txt me I'll gladly send you pics of it on tree. Blacksmith 419 689 6978
