It is stronger than 2x4's I guarantee it, They are probably as big around as 4x4's but are really light...

RE: Ladder stand?
 

No it's not. Strong and light don't belong in the same sentence when talking about wood. Take a live sassafrass(sp?)limb and a live pine limb, see which one you can break in your hand the easiest. Sassafrass makes a good tea, but a poor choice for a ladder IMO.

RE: Ladder stand?
 

well i have made plenty of them to know that they do, so regardless what you say I am still going to use it cause i know from experience it will work. I am not talking about limbs either..

I use a ladder stand for most of my hunting. They are home made and are about 15 feet tall.

I like them more than hang ons just because I feel more safe. Not a big fan of heights. I think they are also easier to put up. Also I keep mine up year round and the deer dont seem to mind them at all. Just watch your scent and your movement and youll be fine.
