HAHA that was great... The baker stand was may first tree-stand and because of technology I was blessed to have limited seasons with that stand. No more pulling out that loud flimsy piece of metal that sounded like a piece of sheet metal vibrating in gale force winds. Also no more bear hugging up a tree so that you are beading sweat by the time you made it up 10ft (even if you wanted to go that high). But by far the worst was coming down the tree because you never knew when your 20 minute climb would turn into a 5 second climb as you slid down your tree. Scary times but maybe the best times... Great read
