I've heard from two podcasts that Dan is about to release the sticks. Any word on an exact date and the rough price? The number $80 per stick was mentioned, is that verified?

There was a similar thread a few years ago. I was playing with some cf car parts at the time and decided to try a stand. Ended up sub 5lbs. Tested to 350ish lbs without any signs of delam, shear strain, or fiber breakage. Cost was around 120$ in materials. Lots of time spent researching materials and structural design. Just letting you know it can be done.

Wow that’s cool! Do you have any pictures of it or specifics?

That's awesome! Do you have any pictures/specs? Would love to see! Did you make it out of fiberglass Kevlar?

Made from carbon fiber. Platform and seat are Uni and bidirectional, with a core. Post is extruded aluminum. Shoulder straps from a pack I have attach and the seat folds down to make a crude pack frame when on my back. Works well as a stand, just OK as a pack frame. You'll have to catch me in the woods to see it. Took me a lot of research and time to make, so I'm not keen on giving my work away. I was just posting for those diyers/engineers out there that might want to have a go themselves.

Did you make molds to do it or did you make a core and wrap the carbon then vacuum bag?

I have an old LW sit and climb, and the "sling/hammock" style seat is AWESOME. Had it 15 years and the seat is still in great shape. Andre got that right. Never have understood why they went away from it. :?:

Carbon fiber and titanium or a combo would be awesome. I would pay >$1k. I’ve thought about swapping some bolts for titanium on some existing steps but haven’t pulled the trigger. The technology is here, the fact that we are still using 30+ year old technology for Treestands is crazy to me. It’s the same as people converting straps to amsteel, newer better technology.

Titanium weighs a lot more than aluminum. I doubt you would see any weight savings even though you would be able to use less material.

If someone could come out with a 10 pound stand with a foot pad big enough for guys with size 13 boots with a weight capacity of 350 pounds and the Chippewa wedge loc hanging system I would be all over that like a pig in mud.

I agree, run and gun stands for big guys are tough. My buddy and I are both 6'7" size 15 and 16 boots and over 230 (he's closer to 260). I'm not going to lie, stands that are comfortable are VERY tough to find.

Anyone else really eyeing up Dan's treestand watching THP Challenge footage? Man that think looks awesome, nice narrow platform. I cant wait for that beauty to hit the market.
