Chippewa Wedgeloc Treestands

[jcprintz]

I think I saw on a post awhile back that the makers of the Wedgeloc stands were closing down at the end of this year. I did a search and can't seem to find the post. That said, I've called the phone number and left 2 messages with no response.
Does anyone out there know what's going on?

I recieved a brochure back in october from them and it said yes they are closing.

They are going out of business, I e-mailed them a week ago.  They do have some Ghost and Super Hex stands left to sell and some accessories, but that's it.

Thanks guys....... I love my 2- Brutus Maximus stands and was hoping to secure another one before it was too late. I guess I'm relegated to the classifieds

I spoke with Rebecca Smith back in Sept. They are going out of business, I hope someone picks up the company and carries on, they are the best stand design on the market.
I bought the last two Chief models they had, I've had the Quest model and a set of there climbing sticks for years.

are they still taking phone calls ?  Someone said there are still pieces and accesories available ?

Just talked to Rebecca a few minutes ago. They have approximately 20 super -hex stands and couple of ghosts and that's it. Sure hope someone steps up and carries on the line. I agree with RLA they are the best design on the market.

Juat called them.  They answered and I spoke to Mr. Smith.  

He said that they are no longer stocking the strap on rigging harnesses, they do have chain on harnesses, and they have a bunch of the rubber bumpers (these do wear out. .  thnk about that).  I ordered my supply for the shelf.  

I too hope someone buys the business and keeps it going.  I have used a Quest model for many years now and eventually I may need another.

Thats too bad, great tree stands  ... and made in USA

I have had the Chief for several years now and it is sooo easy to hang and rock solid. i also have the climbing sticks but have not used them too much, they to are easy to use. I have used them around the yard to trim my bigger trees.

yes, they are retiring and closing the buisness.  They are great people and wish them the best.  Like you all I love mine and agree hope someone steps up and carries the line on.

They called me back after I left a message. My bumbers wore out this season. I bought six of them just in case. I figure i'm going to try to make my own straps with Shauns directions he posted on here awhile back.
