My Business partner and I are considering offering the full line of Family Tradition Tree Stands. (http://www.familytraditiontreestands.com/) Has anyone used them? Are they good quality? Can they withstand harsh (Canadian) weather? Would appreciate any input on this?
Thanks

I know they are made here in MI. I saw a feature on them on Michigan Out-of-Doors on a PBS station. Looks like quality stuff with some nice features.

We have 8 of these tree stand ladder on our hunting ground. We leave them up year round. They are very light weight but as with ladder stands they can be a bit bulky transporting them to the woods. Our winters in West Virginia are not like Canada. I think you will like the stands we are thinking of adding a couple more this year.

I'm not sure if I speak for others, but the tripod style of treestand is not at all interesting to me. That seems to be the bulk of their business. I guess they have ladders also, but there step system looks like a big jump between the last step and the seat. To me in a ladder, or any stand for that matter, I want my movements at 30 feet in the air to be small and easy to do. Their swivel chair looks like a neat idea if it's quiet.
