Abstract: Camouflage clothing items include various clothing items having two different camouflage patterns thereon, a first pattern designed to blend with a proximal frame of reference, and a second pattern designed to blend with a background frame of reference. The proximal frame of reference is a vertically oriented object such as a tree having a diameter substantially in the range of six to eighteen inches. The first camouflage pattern extends vertically from a top to bottom end of the clothing items, and substantially across the width of the clothing item a distance substantially equal to the diameter of the proximal frame of reference object. Typical clothing items which utilize the dual camouflage patterns include a cap, shirt, pants, and boots.

Abstract: A tree stand having a frame adapted to be disposed substantially vertically along the tree trunk. A pair of spaced apart tree engaging members are attached to a top portion of the frame and having a seat connected thereto. A second pair of tree engaging members are pivotally attached along the substantially horizontal axis to a lower portion of the frame for engaging the tree trunk at a second vertical level. A fastening mechanism is provided for extending around the tree trunk and around the frame, for attaching the tree stand to the tree trunk at a desired level. A platform is rigidly attached to the second tree engaging members for permitting the person to stand on the platform when it is in a horizontal disposition.
