Portable Tree Stands: Hang-On Stands

These simple stands provide about four square feet of space. They must be hauled into place and secured to the tree with belts or chains. These stands require separate climbing aids, such as segmented ladders or climbing sticks. When installing a climbing aid:

• Determine your climbing route first.
• Attach the aid to the tree so that it extends above the stand’s platform, and you can step down onto the center of the platform.
