Title: New Tree Stand Idea
Post by: Biggie Hoffman on March 15, 2010, 03:48:00 PM
I think I'm onto something here. (Patent pending)

Even George would buy one of these.

Cool! I like that low rail that will not interfer with shooting the bow.Certainly looks like it might work well to slump down into for that mid day nap as well.Selling any stock yet?  :biglaugh:

Is that the climber?....Or, the hang-on?

Can you hook your tether to the suspension apparatus?

Does it come in Realtree AP?  Mossy Oak?

I would love to see you in that.........!! But I think it could use a bit of camo paint,just to make it perfect!!

Yup I do believe we need George to chime in here so's maybe you can get your costs under control before you go into marketing.  :bigsmyl:

That is very intersting. I am wondering how many will see this and think "Hey I have one of those out in the yard I wonder if I could make that work"???  :biglaugh:

Post by: VTer on March 15, 2010, 04:30:00 PM
That's the lock on model. The climber still has the handles on it with the customized tree gripping bar.   :thumbsup:  Good thinking Biggie. A Ford Pinto hood would make a good 2XL stand.

If your "Uncle Biggie" Manure hauler doubles or "dubbles"as a treestand then  you know "YOUR A REDNECK" OOPS that may offend all of us here...   :rolleyes:    Hey I wonder if we can have a spell check that takes the correct way of spelling a word and turn it into "Redneck" "langridge"...Something even "Biggie" can understand and read!  :biglaugh:

From the looks of it Biggie the drain hole is the least of your worries. Plus it looks like it has a couple built in.  :thumbsup:  . I'll hunt it!

If you dont put a drain hole in you can take a bath while hunting.  Biggie Bird Bath!

Also that would solve the problem of trying to take a "dump" from the stand.

OMG- I've died and moved back to WVa.(I'm aloud to say that, I'm a true West virginiian) Biggie, you can't patent that. We've been hunting out of those for years. Well,kinda,maybe. Anyhow, why would you want a drain hole? From your avatar it appears you kinda like the water anyhow.

Biggie, you're infringing on my patent.  Either I get royalties (one of Miss Kim's cookies) or you'll hear from my lawyers (they're in the 5th grade now and know EVERYTHING).    :)

That looks like a Georgia water tower to me! Biggie if that "aint your'ens" I wish you would put your trail camera on it to see what or who shows up  :biglaugh:

Works for me......

I'm on a budget!
Title: Re: New Tree Stand Idea
Post by: Biggie Hoffman on March 16, 2010, 06:32:00 AM
Knife River, c'mon now dude. Anyone can see that yours is a ground blind. I've taken it to a whole new "level" with the tree accessories. Plus, it's metal and not that cheap plastic.
Mine does NOT come with two kids though.

I'm thinking powder coat camo so it will last longer and keep it from making tinking noises if you bump the sides. I did like the idea that if we leave the handles on, we could rig a climber of some sort.....hmmmmmm

Reminds me of the 55 gallong drum I've seen tacked up in a tree here in GA.   :biglaugh:

I have it too high but now I'm ascared to climb back up there and lower it....
Title: Re: New Tree Stand Idea
Post by: BowMIke on March 16, 2010, 08:26:00 AM
That stand might be enough to make me wear a safety harness!!
Although if you left the wheel on and put it up a tree on a slope, you could probably get back to your truck really quick when done hunting!
Title: Re: New Tree Stand Idea
Post by: BowMIke on March 16, 2010, 08:27:00 AM
Did you notice the lean on that tree? Maybe Biggie better not climb up there again!

Clint, TMA won't approve it. So everyone will have to sign a disclaimer before purchasing one.

Well... Before you climb back up...

Good-by, Biggie.  It has really been a pleasure to get to know you!?!?     :saywhat:

Post by: tarponnut on March 16, 2010, 11:46:00 AM
I'm confused. Don't all treestands look like that?
It also works as a ground/box blind (by flipping it over).
I call it "The Turtle".
