Gorilla Kong Ladder Stand
Moderator: Excalibur Marketing Dude
Nice stands.They look sturdy and comfortable.Hope your wife enjoys your present for her b'day.
My son and I bought 5 Strong Built stand at Bass Pro in Toronto a couple of years ago.They look similar to your new stand. If they come on sale like that around here I would probably pick up 4 or 5 of them.
Our stands feel right when you're perched up in them.That goes a long way towards making a hunt enjoyable.

bstout, I have the Gorilla 2005 Expedition Outfitter Lounger Ladder Stand, which is still in the box, since I have been using my treestands with either the climbing steps, sticks, etc.
Mine weighs 60 lbs, real sturdy I'm told. How hard is it to set-up and install against a tree (Do you really need to be two guys to do it)?
See picture on page 14 of this catalogue link from Gorilla

I think every company has that same stand, just a different name. Strong built makes the exact same stand... normally they are 69-79bucks.. I bought 4 of them about 7 years ago from the sportsmen guide for 59.99 each.. nice stands for the cash, but get a seat cushion for them. Also, you can hand fab a metal shooting rail for these. You just need brackets to bolt the rail to the stand
the only downside to these is that I wouldnt move them much.. I leave mine like those up all year

I understand how practical those trailer boat winches are, I also use them.
Here's one on a tree holding my deer feeder up 9' from the ground. If you can see on the right, my TrailMac is hanging from another tree. Tried to hoist my feeder by hand, but couldn't bring that feeder to reach the 9' with all the weight in it.

Here is a view at night of the feeder. Holds 7 buckets containing 5 lbs each (either corn, carrots and/apples). One bucket drops per day, or more if I wish. Baiting is allowed in Ontario.

Although I also have a steel treestand, I made myself a few years ago two of these. They are based on the model of the Tree-sniper stand used by Japanese soldiers at one time.
Not hard to install, no seats, so you adapt.
