Abstract: A combination stand/cart is used in hunting to transport hunting equipment and any game acquired during hunting. The stand/cart is, in a folded conditions used as a card, and as a ladder/hunting station when unfolded. A platform to tree connection is designed to install safely by being moved from behind the tree to the ladder side underneath the platform. The seat rotates 360 degrees on a standpipe, which allows for a slow, discrete, safe turn in order to execute a stable seated shot. The attachable bow, quiver and or rifle holders are mounted to the seat in order to allow immediate use without excessive movement during aiming. The stand can quickly and easily be unfolded from the “load carrier” function to the “ladder tree stand” function. This is accomplished by means of “unfold and pin” at three pivot points; one at the center of the ladder and one at the ladder to platform junction and one at the seat stand pipe.

Abstract: The invention also provides a logging carriage which has a winding drum rotatably mounted in a body. A cable is wound about the drum, whereby the drum is rotated when the cable is pulled. A drop line sheave is rotatably mounted in the body and has a drop line extending thereabout. A drive mechanism mechanically couples the sheave to the drum, whereby rotation of the drum rotates the sheave to lower the drop line as the cable is pulled. There may be one or two other carriages, all the carriages being releasibly connected together.
