my buddy built a bunch of platforms and keeps them on his trees at his camp all season. all he carries is a climber top to sit in. more comfy, more room, bigger platform...trees climbers cant get into....good idea for sure...i know im going to MISS my summit viper sitting on a cheapo lock on with a 6x8 metal seat...no arm rests...no front rail...no 2 inch padding...man...i might not make it good thing that its in a spot that hunting passed 9 or 10am is useless so i dont gotta be there overly long
