Abstract: A lightweight, portable, tree-climbing device to provide a stable, elevated, horizontal, platfrom utilizing two separate elements for a hunter or observer. The uppermost element accommodates the user in a sitting position while the lower element accommodates his feet. The user faces the tree during the ascending and descending processes but has the option of facing the tree or leaning his back against the tree during his hunting or observing activity. Each element has tubular supporting members, which, along the the ends of the supporting cables, have predrilled holes, thus allowing for the selective adjustment of each element during initial attachment. The device further provides for selective adjustment of the support cables as the user ascends and descends the tree. The device further allows the user to climb past limbs without first having to cut them from the tree.
