Big Game Warrior DXT 17' Deer Hunting Ladders, Tree Stand and Flex-Tek Seat

The ladder Stand was delivered complete with no damaged parts. Assembly was straight forward and quick. I rigged the stand for transport in two sections: 1) The seat portion was transported complete with a line (rope) secured at the bottom at both ends and rigged to go over my shoulder. My back was touching the seat and the backrest was above my head. 2) The ladder sections were zip tied together and shoulder straps were rigged from the ladder brace attachment line. I packed the stand about one mile through a partially open forest. Two trips. I followed instructions and completed the assembly on the ground. I made sure the bottom ladder rung was about 4' from the base of the tree. I raised up the ladder starting at the seat and proceeded hand-over-hand. I attached the ladder brace to hold the ladder in place and then crisscrossed the temporary attachment straps behind the tree. I climbed the ladder and carefully secured the rachet strap. I added a second for more security. I had the ladder secured in twenty minutes and the loose strap-ends secured and the harness attached in another 20 minutes. I did not want the wind flipping the strap ends around like flags. The ladder stand is comfortable and sturdy. I packed and installed the stand by myself; yes, no help.
