This is a great stand, period! It's lightweight, climbs easy kzfaq.infoUgkxlQ7TDIrnnSXXbRgFFaxqwullRJJIuYAs and feels solid while in the tree. The seat is easy to fold up for climbing and sits comfortably for long days in the woods. The only downside I have is that it might be too comfortable, but I like napping in the tree anyway. This is the second Summit Viper I have owned. The old one is steel making it heavier, but this aluminum version is about 9-10 lbs lighter. I recommend buying a better fall harness as the one included is clunky and not super comfortable. I think it will work fine if you NEED to use it, but there are lots of other more comfortable options out there.

@wigglewigglewiggle7021 2 жыл бұрын

Hey bro I made a super nice heavy duty box stand between two trees very similar to how you're set up is it worked great for a couple years unfortunately you get straight line winds and the trees don't always blow the same direction and it ended up dislodging the support beams eventually even after I tried to keep them in mother nature one in the end. Hope you have better luck than I did my box tree stand is now 3 ft off the ground set up but still effective .a friend got a nice big doe this season out of it 😊

@jakefromupstatefarm 2 жыл бұрын

Yeahhhh I’m a bit nervous about that. Especially since it’s on the field edge it sure gets some wind. I have another spot I’m planning to build a stand in cuz I didn’t see a single deer this year and the wind was brutal

@houndsmanone4563 Жыл бұрын

A dang nice job building your stand single handedly. I'm considering buying a cordless saw; how long did your saw work before the batteries konked out? Good idea to build your platform before heading out to the treestand site. That would have been more cumbersome trying to get that done at the stand site. You should have more subs than what you have. Will try to boost some of that from a few shout-outs to fellow subscribers. Again, great job on the video and great that mom and uncle approved the trees. You don't want to piss them off or your hunting adventures will be limited. Okay, keep on doing what you're doing and have fun doing it. Houndsman One. 👍🏽🤠 2/7/23

@jakefromupstatefarm Жыл бұрын

Thanks for the thoughtful words, I just gave your channel a sub as well! I have a rain barrel and will be referencing the barrel video you made with drinking nipples when I make a waterer for my chickens. As for the saw, I got mine used from a hvac tech who was upgrading and ive never had power issues. I have 3 18 volt batteries that suffice for all projects. I’m sure the newer 20 volts last even longer! - Jake

Well I like your tree stand. A roof Just put put some 2X4 from tree to tree then plywood time. It will help to keep you dry . Remember what ever you screw or nail the wood in to the tree . It will get pulled in farther and farther every year. In 35 years you will have walls,drop windows and a heater. And yes put a rope on it to pull up your gun and supply’s .

@@jakefromupstatefarm Start out with propane, that way when you make the switch to a wood stove it will be even nicer lol. The first stand I built when I was 14 is still standing, and there is definitely something different about stands that are open like that one, and yours. It's more enjoyable, you feel more in tune as long as you aren't suffering. My unsolicited advice, is that if you have room for two stands leave that one as is, and make the other enclosed heated stand in another spot.

I would have painted it before I put it all together. Learn from me and on the steps put little braces under each steps. Built steps up to my box blind and after a few years they rotted and the screws failed and I went right through a step and fell all the way to the ground. Could have been worse than it was. So I’d get those steps braced.

One of the other comments said he built one like yours and the wind blowing the trees differently destroyed it. Yes, that’s what will happen to this one too. Properly done, it would be have the 2 lower beams in a steel saddle that allows the trees to move independently and the beams slide back and forth.
