Just got thru watchin the Backland Adventure show and seen this new to me Twisted Timber Treestand..... WOW ! I think I might just have to have one of these sweet little gadgets for some of my clearcuts. The last few years we have been hunting more and more out of hang ons and this stand would be just the ticket for some of the trees I have had to pass up.

Anybody got one of these and if so how do you like it so far ?

Looks heavy, Way too bulky, makes too much noise in the set-up, takes forever to crank it up. I'll stick with my climbing sticks and my Woodsy too's.

Best of luck.

Wow two minutes in and he's up 18" (with time lapse breaks...) You need a telephone pole tree (like any climber) I stopped at that point.

Looks like a huge platform though.

Maybe set it up for elderly clients? Long before season.

$900 bucks just for the stand itself with the section of ladder it starts at the bottom with.

Each section of ladder is nearly 200 bucks...so 1500 to 1600 dollars, plus shipping to climb a tree? I think I'll keep using mine and go on an extra trip somewhere.

Looks like a solution looking for a problem.

Time out guys....... You fellas are looking at the link that Razorbak posted under my original post...... I was talking about the , " Twisted Timber Stand ", that I did not post a link to.

The Twisted Timber Stand I seen on Backland Adventures is made for all kinds of twisted and leaning trees, hence the name.

Anyone got a Twisted Timber Stand yet ? I would like to know how you like it ?

...don't cha hate that...? lol

The twisted timber does look like it could be very nice in some spots. Makes looking for the RIGHT tree way easier.

That crank up thing in the link looks like a real pita. Tell you one thing..I'd bring a cordless drill with me. Looks like everything must weigh 150+ pounds to get up far enough to make a difference..what's a another couple pounds for a drill..?...lol

This is why we bowhunt from the ground....

Ok I went and looked a the right product. it would be nice if they posted prices. Similar to the LW platform leveling system but more points to select from.

I actually expected to see a remake of the Centipede stand.

Looks decent. Time will tell. All steel at 13.5 and 16.5 lbs.

While that is really cool from a mechanical standpoint - to be honest, I can carry a 3 section, 15', $89 ladder stand in a whole lot easier, and have it in place a whole lot faster at a fraction of the cost.

Still - I am intrigued by this.

When I use a lock on, that's the one I use. I actually have two of them that I bought years ago when they first came out. I love em, but I have really taken to to use of my ladder stands.

LOL...

The Twisted Timber stands do look nice....not the other.

NoCams · « **Reply #19 on:** July 06, 2012, 03:00:00 PM »

Tree Rat, looks like they are $199 for either model on the website for the Twisted Timber Stands. Not sure why the would try to charge the same $199 for the two different sized stands, not good marketing in my pea brain ???

Still talking about Twisted Timber Stands here fellers, forget about that erector set link that was posted please.

Still looking for someone who has used one of the Twisted Timber Stands...... ? I may have to buy one first and be the TradGang test pilot.....
