Bakers-Wow do those stands go back. I have had two of the Bakers since I started useing climbers back in the 70's but then again back then they were about the only thing going. And they were a sit down-stand up climber. I always carried some kind of locking strap to wrap around the tree and the v bar. They were dog gone heavy. But then again they were made out of plywood. Actually I think I still have them in the top of the garage and they are still ready to go. But they did fold flat and other than being heavy were realitivly easy to carry.
