Chuck, tie a long cord to your stand and the other endto your waist. Climb the Oak tree and find yourself a good branch to put the seat part of your stand on, and then hoist it up.This I have done many times with my Tree Lounge. It is a lot better than a straight tree for concealment, makesit harder for animals to see you.

As for Palm Trees, well, you don't want to do it in north Fl. cause of the bears. Bears climb the palms to eat the palm berries. It happen to my buddy while we were hunting in Baker County back in the 90's. He didn' want to shoot it , so he kept peeing at itin its face!We will not ever forget about that. He will never live that down!
