The platform portion has an aperture through a central portion thereof for receiving a tree therein. The platform portion is comprised of a pair of separable sections. The separable sections are coupled together by opposed male and female hinges. A ladder portion extends upwardly through the platform portion for coupling with the tree. The ladder portion includes an upper vertical portion having a pair of cleats disposed on an interior surface thereof for engaging the tree. The pair of cleats have a rope member extending around the tree. The upper vertical portion has a seat portion pivotally coupled to a front surface thereof. A lower end of the upper vertical portion has an upper horizontal portion extending outwardly therefrom.
