RE: Can you name this treestand?
I don't know how many companies made them or still make them but I own two that were made by the Loc-On company in the late 80's and were called The Crotch Stand. The platforms are green in color and measure about 18" by 18". They are mounted on a steel adjustable sliding type mechanism so you can adjust them to the crotch of the tree. You then push on them as hard as you can stretching the limbs so they help hold it in place along with the steel spikes on each end. I still like using them as they are very lightweight and hard to notice in a tree. I did have one hunter find one of them but he refused to go up and stand on it to check out the view. They are not for everyone and I've never had one stolen. I haven't seen one in years and don't know if they are even made by anyone anymore.
