Yeah Ive used a tree lounge didn't care for it.

Ive been more than happy with just simple and basic in the past. I don't really have to carry one very far.

Wonder how long before rust will form around all those holes inside the metal? With all those holes way more moisture will get inside and may cause corrosion where you can not see it. Also the holes will weaken the structural integrity over the long run. Can see many problems from doing this but it is your stand and your body.

Lighten it so as not to tax your body too much and bet your life on it? All I see is a real, real bad idea.

like I have stated already I appreciate all of your concern but it's all in the size and location of the holes..

I have done this before with other stands and hunted with them for many years this is not my first rodeo.. It will not break and is perfectly, well as safe as any climbing stand can be.....

BTW..Not telling anyone else to do this....
