I won't give you a bunch of uneducated guesses. But if you want info on stands go to the TMA site and go from there.

There are stands available that have weight ratings that exceed 300 pounds - even climbers.

I have 2 old style Tree Lounges and they will support 1,755 pounds hanging from them, also they will not slip when climbing a metal pole......They are not recommended for anyone 300 lbs and over because of maneuverability in the stand...........

I love my family too much not to wear a harness.

This question mades me wonder too over the years. I do push the 300 lb. limit but I have one of the Grand Vision mades by Ol'Man and it never has failed me. I wear my safety belt and have enjoyed days from sun up to sun down in it. I always hang my extra gear on the tree and haul it up after everything is secure. I am not one to jump up & down in mine, but I respect the stand and my fear of heights.

I don't have any fear of heights.

Nor am I scared if I fall.

It's that sudden stop at the end I'm concerned about. LOL!

Sometimes I think

more hunters should worry about becoming fatsos and getting a doctor's permission slip.

High blood pressure and diabetes will kill a tree stand use, too.

Don't jump on the stand. That could weaken it and cause it to fail when you are really using it up high.

This is just as bad as telling you, you should not drink, smoke or part take of illegal substances, including cheating on your wife or girlfriend. Yep, not all of us having girlish figures, wear a size 32 trouser or can fit into a roller coaster car without having your knees banging into your chest.

The smell of forest in the fall, the thrill of the chase and sightings of whitetails still get the heart a pumping. Hunting is the thrill, killing is a bonus!
