Default Homemade Treestands?

Knowing the need for bowhunting, we all need many treestands. I have 5 treestands as of now.I hunt about5 different properties andif you do the math, that is one stand per area.... I would really like the ability to have 2 at each property but can't even come close to affording that many stands. I have resorted to ground blinds but would like some more tree stands. Does anyone have any plans or pictures of homemade ones they have made to give me ideas. I think I can make my own but would like some reassurance. Thanks!

I build smoe of my own, but it is just as cheap to buy on of the off brands this time of year.

Have you ever considered a very light extremely mobile and quiet climber?

I've welded my own stands together in the past. They were alright in the field...but nothing beats a $125 Gorilla hang-on stand on ebay for $40.
