You seem very bored, so make some cheap treestands like this out of some scrap 3/4 inch plywood:
The complete instructions are here:

Buy yourself this tree seat:

I know cost is a big deal for you, since your currently unemployed:
1) $25-$30 for sheet of plywood.
2) $50-$60 for 600 feet of 3/8" polyprope rope, 600 feet.
The sheet of plywood will make 5 stands, so cost per stand is $5. Cost of 8 steps into the tree is $8, so the cost of 1 complete tree stand is $13. They are easy to make, easy to put up and you leave them up year around, so 0 maintenance. Also they are never stolen, so they work anywhere. They are NOT a "permanent stand" since you do not use nails, the ropes are tied to a tree and the Y-board is screwed into a tree with 3" deck screws, so you can put them up on public land no problem. You buy one tree seat and use multipe Y-board stands with the tree seat. My instruction page has many pictures on how to make. Check it out.
I did it as a public service to the hunting community, because I was young once and had little disposable income and could not afford $150 ladder stands at each site I wanted to hunt.
