I heard alot of reviews on the tree walker. I want to thank you, for all your reviews. You made up my mind. I went to the show saturday in bloomington, illinois. I been bowhunting for 40 years. I have not seen a stand yet that i liked 100% and i had just about every climber on the market. The tree walker i could not find anything, i did not like about it. I would give it a rating of 100 percent. I talked to the owner for about 45 min. I told him, you put a lot of thought in this stand when you made it. He replied that he had been hunting a long time and while he was hunting out of his tree stand he was thinking all the time how he could make it better. I told him that it was perfect and he thought of everything. I'am a iron worker by trade and i asked him if he was a iron worker he said no he took some classes. The welds were perfect. I could not have done better. I told him he would be, the number 1 tree stand maker out there. If he went into production. He told me I'am just a mom & pop maker. I have great respect for the way he thinks. USA NUMBER 1
