Title: North Star Tree Stand Company?
Post by: Interseptor on January 16, 2009, 07:06:00 PM
Anybody know if they are still in business?  I have a ratchet-on stand that needs new straps.

I was wondering the same thing. I know they don't have a web-site anymore so that makes me think they might be out of business.

I am in the same boat. I have one of their Treecat Archer climbing stands and it is due for new traction belts.
I'll have to find another source. Too bad, that's the best climbing stand I've ever used. I love that thing.

They used to make a real nice aluminum climbing stick called the Rising Starr that nobody seems to have duplicated since they went out of business.

I've got the Rising Starr climbing stick, four sections and 16ft.  I guess the only thing that could be improved was packing it in and putting it together without making noice.

We've been extremely fortunate to be able to leave all ours up year round.  We just change out the straps as needed. I've found them for sale here and there since they went out of business. I'd bet you guys can get the parts you need searching around the internet. Make sure you search for North Starr with two RR's
