ABSTRACT:
The upper hand-held small climbing device is shimmied up the tree and then pivoted downwardly until it grips the tree. The standing platform is then shimmied up the tree by lifting the body with the feet underneath of the foot straps on the platform. This pivots the platform away from the tree so that the strap may be slipped up into a new position. When the platform is then pressed against the tree, it will be held in place so that the upper hand-held climbing gripper may then be pivoted upward to release and shimmied up the tree also.
The stand and loop are provided with steel straps which can be easily set for different diameter trees. The strap of the tree stand is provided with pins to retard sawing.
The user's toes fit under a bar and are held in place by elastic heel straps which also facilitate back-packing of the stand.
The front edge of the stand is provided with a compound concave notch for addressing trees of various girths.
A seat is provided which has few parts and folds out of the way when not in use.
