RE: J.R.H. Industries-Gunslinger Tree Stands
can't you back pack it without breaking it completely down flat? most other stands you can, the part that angles off and holds the blades should just angle down and away from your back.

RE: J.R.H. Industries-Gunslinger Tree Stands
I'm sure you can with no problem.On the GS they have a couple of bolts that are a little longer. That's what the foot section hangs on. The Blades are facing up. If you keep the foot section assembled it will carry the same except be sticking out more on the bottom.The Bungee strap and strap that attaches to the foot section is used to tie it together. I carry a ratch it strap and snug it up.Another thing. On the GS there are no straps holding the foot section to the seat section. If it were to slip off your foot that could create a problem.I took some black seat belt material and made straps like the TL uses.Never had a problem ,I just wanted to elimate any problems before it did.JRH did a good job designing them. I wish I would have thought of it.

RE: J.R.H. Industries-Gunslinger Tree Stands
yeah, i buy the "heavy duty" models...lmao. i use to work for Warren & Sweat Mfg. (about 9 years ago) as a welder building climbing treestands for them. once we designed and built a proto type stand we would hang it and place weight on it until it buckled. once it buckled, we would divide the max weight in half and that would be the "max" weight limit we would put on the box. so if a stand said the weight limit was 250 pounds...we had 500 pounds on it before it started to fail. i dunno if the other treestand manufacturers do this or not. i still buy the HD models if they're offered. it's not a chance i'm willing to take to often.

The Old StyleTL can support 1,700 lbs hanging from it!

I needed the heavy duty model myself.Even if I were under the 250# I would have bought the 350# model anyway.I want all the added strength I can get.Not worth taking chances when you're sitting up there with the birds.
