oeh, I aint sure anymore (there's a new treestand maker everyday, as one closes another opens) but it sure seems that way. Just makes me SICK I tell ya, and yet everyone keeps on buying them up. When I started hunting 20+ years ago a nice climber would run from $99-$200 and most of those are still around. BUT now days you can buy them for $59.99
I was raised on Loc-On anyway, I had 11-12 Lems and PS IIs and IIIs at once time. But replaced most of them with High Styles a few years ago. I wish Loc-On was still around (I believe Loggy Bayou got em on the last go around).
The BIGGEST poc I have seen? Those Remington stands. Talk about deathtraps, I would use one for a treeseat at knee level,
