Any of you all make a tree seat?

I stumbled across this idea one day on YouTube and thought "I need to make me one of those."

Most of the season I typically hunt out of a tree saddle but once the colder weather gets here then I will likely do more ground hunting with my muzzleloader. I am also getting to the age where sitting on the ground for extended periods is not fun so this looked like a great tool to add to the kit. In addition it will be nice for those days I want to scout my way in and find a place to sit.

Made out of 5/8" plywood. 16" deep by 16" wide. The rope is fastened with a knot on one end. I glued one of the walmart pads to the top for comfort and warmth. I've tried it out in the yard with a couple of different trees and I think it's going to be just the ticket.

Got to thinking I should probably add a picture of how the rope fastens on the other side.

Come down through the furthest hole from the tree, back up through the back one then tuck it into itself underneath. It won't slip at all there.

I made a climbing stand with a seat that let's you eliminate a bulky climber part . To better explain I welded a piece of pipe into angle which had been welded into a 90 . Drilled holes into it on top side for a round piece of aluminum with a bolt through it . Padded the seat with foam and put camo cloth over it. Welded a chain on one side and the other side had a welded hook for the other side of chain. You could climb different size trees with it . Later replaced the chain with a tie down strap . I used that with the Loggy Bayou stand because the top part was bulky . I'd sometimes just carry that climber part to the woods if I was ground hinting for a seat . Think I may still have that seat climber if I do I'll post a picture of it because I know my explanation is lacking . Yours looks comfortable but my seat diameter wasn't very big probably 7 " circle.

Just spend the money and buy the Millenium Treestands tree seat. It is well worth the spend.

The price has increased in last few years like everything, but these are worth the investment.

I don't know how I sat on the ground all those years or leaned up against a tree or sat on a stump. I can sit on stand all day in these things. My kids and I sit on each side of the tree with one.

That Laplander is quite the little saw.
