Last year the gimmick of the year award went to the "Acorn Cruncher".
I think this one is going to bump the cruncher to the number two position:
It is called "The Stand Scouter". It only cost $19.95.
The Stand Scouter is a measuring device (AKA a stick) that you use to mathematically determine which trees will give you the best vantage ponts and to what heights you can climb or hang your treestand before you ever leave the ground.

Sounds like a biltmore stick. foresters have been using them for years. I guess there are anough suckers out there to make it worth their time to advertise it.

I think a lot of the tree stand safety rigs are a joke. You're paying $60 for packaging that contains a length of static rope, a prussic knot and a locking carabiner. Go to any outdoor store that has climbing gear and get the same rig for 1/3rd of the cost.
