Treestands for fat people

[LongOneShortOne]

I don't know where you may work, but if you have reasonable intelligence, and can read a tree-stand catalog, operate a hack-saw and a drill with self-tapping metal-screws, just draw up a stand with THREE legs, and a perch to hold your heft comfortably, make your own. Give it a copyright, and go into business for hour self, selling "The Big-Man" tree-stand Hope you are successful. L1S1.

I would go JLG.

They train you and give you a body harness.


If you extend it out, you could drop a brick on the deer's head and save an arrow.

Looking down. Man, you could spot those deer a fur piece out.


These are rated for big guys too. I think 800 lbs at full extension of 135 feet.

Back to the OP on a semi serious note.
While the Loggy Bayou is a light , really nice unit, I have one that weighs about 20 lbs and is all steel tubing construction. It's more comfortable than the Loggy but has a couple teeth which bite into the tree. I'm not sure if these are usable today and often wondered if the bite constitutes damage to the tree ( it probably does but I'd have to check the "damage" guidelines)

I'll have to see if I have any literature on what it is. I bought it at a sportsman's show about 15 or 20 years ago but haven't used it since I bought the Loggy.

Yes, but how much would it cost to get it RealTree'd? lol

I keep my fat ass on the ground, personal preference... At 6 foot tall and 320 pounds, 10 feet makes a lot of owies... And being an EMT, I don't wish dragging my ass out of the woods on anyone... lol

Chaz, Think of it as preplanning.

It would eliminate the need for an orange band around a tree in the combined season.

Use a ladder stand or I use the grand ol' man. Weight limit on the grand ol man is like 450 or 500 lbs.

The ladder stand is the best bet for heavy/large people.

Or.. you could simply build your own stand.

HAHA! Very true my friend! I think a 130 foot SAFETY ORANGE buggy would definatly be able to be seen 360 degrees... lol
