Abstract: A collapsible hunting stand includes an observation platform preferably having a seat rotatably attached thereto. A first auxiliary support structure may be pivotally connected to the observation platform. A second auxiliary support structure may further be pivotally connected to the first auxiliary support structure and adapted to be statically affixed to the vehicle respectively. A first pair of support leg members may be pivotally mated to the observation platform and adapted to be removably attached to the vehicle respectively. A second pair of support leg members may be pivotally mated to the observation platform and removably attached to the first auxiliary support structure respectively. The first and second auxiliary support structures may be vertically aligned along a vertical axis while the first and second pairs of support leg members are obliquely offset relative to the vertical axis when the observation platform is biased to the associated raised erect position respectively.

Abstract: The tire lifting apparatus may comprise an elongated shaft having a handle formed at a proximal end thereof and further having a generally C-shaped prong formed at a distal end of the shaft. An arm preferably traverses the distal end of the shaft and is juxtaposed adjacent to said prong for balancing the wheel/tire along a diametrical face thereof. Both the shaft and the arm preferably have planar top and bottom faces for supporting the wheel/tire thereon.
