If I found a tree stand hanging on NF land, I would avoid it simply from a safety perspective. How well was it hung? Is it tight enough? Is every attachment method duplicated in case on breaks? Are all the components in good shape (no rust, kinks, tears, etc)? No way do I risk my life to climb up in some knucklehead's tree stand.


What you do today is important, you are trading a day in the rest of your life for it.
