ABSTRACT:
A portable tree platform elevated via a winch including a planar platform with at least one support rod coupled at a first end thereof to the platform and extending upwardly therefrom. A pair of wheels are rotatably coupled to the periphery of the platform adjacent the support rod such that the platform may be easily transported in a manner similar to a cart. Further provided is a winch unit including a spool and a motor connected to a battery. The motor is adapted for effecting the gathering of the cable on the spool upon the actuation thereof in a first mode of operation and further effecting the dispensing of the cable from the spool upon the actuation thereof in a second mode of operation. By this structure, an end of the cable may be fixed in an upper extent of a tree such that upon the actuation of the motor in the first mode of operation, the platform is elevated.
