[TowerTalk] Work Platform

[Kris Mraz]

Thanks to all who responded with knowledge of these devices. I didn't
realize they worked by digging into the tree trunk. It was just idle curiosity,
anyway. I had no intention of buying one.

NO----NO....don't even think of that.. The deer stands( I have a few) have
steel or aluminum "teeth" that bite into the bark of a tree.  Those teeth
will NOT bite into a steel tower.. PLEASE do NOT think of doing this.. we
will read about what will happen to you !!!!!!!!!!  Dan N4GNR

Has anyone considered using a hunter's tree stand as a tower work platform?

Seems like if it's safe enough up a tree it should be safe for tower work.
Plus,
you'd have a place to sit down if you're up the tower for an extended period
of time.
