Academy 15 foot ladder stand

[TexaRican]

I highly recommend putting this stand together partially at home. The directions are poor and there are lots of parts! It took us a couple of hours in the woods and a few redos to get it all put together correctly, and there were 4 of us !

Yep, I did like Viper. Put the top together in the garage and got the straps on then used them to strap the ladders sections on backpack style. Now I can just haul it in the woods, link up the ladder sections and stand it up.
For the first time out, I'll be doing it in the daylight Sat afternoon then plan to leave it up overnight for hunting Sunday too - if necessary.

Try Tractor Supply for the pins.

Anyway you could post up some pics of exactly what you did here? Thinking I may get one and having a hard time visualizing this.

Originally, I put the straps on there so I could pick it up with them but I've since rearranged the setup. Now I have an old golf bag padded strap (not shown) that I'm attaching so I can just sling it over one shoulder and go.

Perfect. Thanks for taking the time to do that, I appreciate it. And good luck to you as well!

The stand worked fine today - without pins or bolts. Plus, I was able to set it up full height alone without much strain. The instructions call for 3 adults.

i got one. bolt it together and put lawn mower wheels on it. i use it in shnf as well and it works as long as you stay outa thick brush. also works as a game/gear cart.

I was disappointed. Seat is positioned for a midget, and agree about back hitting before teeth.

Tractor Supply has all different sizes of pins.
