Abstract: A method and apparatus for constructing sawhorses attached to a pickup truck tailgate uses brackets that fold up and down are attached to the top surface of the tailgate when the tailgate is open. The foldable portion of each bracket is raised and a 2×4 or appropriately dimensioned rail is inserted into the bracket. A portion of the rail extends beyond the back of the tailgate so boards and other construction paraphernalia may be placed on the rails.

Abstract: A tree stand including a platform adapted to be attached to a tree so that the platform is approximately horizontal whereby a hunter can stand on the platform. A heating element is operatively attached to the platform in a place below where the hunter can stand on the platform. An electrical battery is operatively attached to the heating element for selectively causing the heating element to experience a significant rise in temperature, thereby heating the feet of the hunter and melting snow or ice that may be present on the platform.
