[QUOTE="themanpcl, post: 5270195, member: 12032"] Something fun that I have that you may not. I have 2 ladder platforms that have had the tree grow around them making them part of the tree. Stands were in the trees before we got the property. Let me tell you how much fun it is to take the 2 bolts out that attach the ladder to the seat platform (to release the ladder and step). That means no room for error on the way down. I take all ladder stands down every season and refurbish, repaint etc. before I place them again in summer. There should be no need to do anything different to remove the ladder from the tree vs putting it up. When I put them up, I tightly attach the ladder ratchet straps around both sides of the tree pushing the tree brace that is attached to the ladder into the tree and making the ladder steady so I can climb up and attach the ratchet to the platform. Now, that doesn't mean the pucker factor isn't high as I scale my way up the ladder. [/QUOTE]
