Home made stealth ladderstand

[longbow joe]

[/url]l wanted a true light weight ladder stand for basically scouting and just kind of probing around.l have a teloscoping leverage ladder stand but it weighs a ton. I made this from a broken 8 foot step ladder. Only weighs about 20 pounds l normally hunt higher up but i just wanted a mobile little stand . The area l hunt is very dense and viney going above 10 feet seems counterproductive anyway. Looking forward to using it . I will post a pic of my camo job soon.having trouble with a bigger picture of it from post image

I made one of these around 40 years ago from a broken wood ladder. It worked, but yours looks a lot better. And safer! You may want to paint it with truck bed liner to keep it quiet then chain it to a tree as another stand. Good hunting!

Very nice. I like that idea.

Its a shame some company cant actually make a 10 or 12 foot version of this . loc on had the titan ladderstand it was the closest thing to a true lightweight ladder. All of the store bought ones weigh 50 pounds plus ....lol l set this thing up out back in the tree tonight not a single squeek and l havnt even painted and wrapped it with burlap yet.

nice stand! i purchased but havent tried the rivers-edge-pack-n-stack-13-ladder-stand. its 13 foot and 33 pounds. all the reviews seam to be good and it is supposed to pack together well. if you take out one section it be a 10 footer right around 25 pounds. http://www.fieldandstreamshop.com/p/riv ... knstckltsb

Cant amagine the insurance costs of a treestand mfr. Company. probably for every 20 you sell its 1 lawsuite because of bozos using them. Someday they might have airbags.

That stand is awesome. But cost. Cheaper to buy one

Longbow Joe Now everyone on forum will be making ladder stands.

I have a couple Titans and like them a lot. I like your stand too, seems like the p effect stand if you can set it and forget it. Just make sure your wear your safety harness!!!
