RE: Face the tree or Face away
 

I always face away from the tree. I also sit on the backside of the tree from the trail. When I do fall asleep, The superior predatory instinct that I have, always wakes me up when a deer is approaching.:D

If Bow, I stand facing away from the tree, after a few hours I'll sit still facing away. Gun I'll just sit, still facing away.

Come on now. There is nothing better than a nap 25' up in a tree. Although if I'm not in the mood and want to be highly alert I take along my new buddy, Mr. Nodoze. There is nothing like it. I'm just eating up landscape.

I face away from the tree. But now that I think about it, when I nod off if I was facing the tree, busting my noggin against the tree would wake me up! :D

I had one of the semi rounded extrusion TL's. After a email to TMA Treelounge replaced it with the newly revised model like Bob Hice originally started with. The new version with the semi rounded extrusions are no longer being made.The new models are still powder coated ,but it's back to the squared material.I've had a couple people contact me about selling it.I've decided to keep it and use it if I need more then my Gunslingers out.The replacement has never been put on a tree.Being it's like my original TL I got back in the early 90's it should prove to be a safe stand to use.I wouldn't give 50.00 for a dozen of the semi rounded models.Your life is worth more then that.
