My dad did the same thing to me, Jeramy, except he sold it it or gave it away to friends of his, who are strangers to me. I ended up having to buy a lot of things new when I got back into bow hunting. Luckily I laid down the law on my Loggy treestand. However, he did sell mine and kept his for me, which he altered in a few ways that I' m not sure I like completely. Oh well, it still works.
