Loggy Bayou Tree Stand Instructions

Loggy Bayou manufactures the Monarch tree stand. The stand hangs on the tree and is easy to transport into the field. The stand is carried by a single person and attaches to the tree in less than five minutes. In addition to the stand, you must have a tree-climbing system and climbing belt. The climbing system is a simple rail that straps on the tree and acts as a ladder. The belt wraps around the tree to assist with climbing while providing safety.

      Climb up your climbing rail system to reach a high level on the tree trunk. Climbing systems vary in style but most use several straps to secure the rail on the tree. Pull the climbing belt strap up the tree as you gain elevation.
