Anyone got a clue where I can find a couple of these ? Seems to be a discontinued product or "out of stock" I've googled it to death. ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/cfwQXel.jpg)

I HATE those things. Totally worthless.
Here is what I do (something my dad taught me):
Get a pressure treated 2x4. Get a large U-bolt. Drill holes for the U-bolt on one end. Go about one half the way up the ladder stand and put the U-bolt in thru the inside of the ladder going outward to the lumber and start tightening the bolt. Before completing tightening nail the other end of the board to the tree using 2 or 3 long galvanized nails. Then finish tightening the bolt.
That will be a heck of a lot more sturdy and stable then that useless thing the ladder stand manufacturers provide.
I actually use two such boards on most of my ladder stands - one about a third of the way up and the second two thirds of the way up - on the opposite side of the lower one.
That makes the ladder stand permanently attached to the tree and it isn't going anywhere - even if the ratchet straps at the top break off.

You could make one similar out of tube stock in less than hour. Or out of a 2X4 in a few minutes. I'd do that before paying full price plus shipping.

I’ll check and see if I got some! My dogs ripped open a stand in the box before I got their collars on so it should be here somewhere. I’ll look tomorrow.

Treated 2x4, cut a V in one end for the rung , cut the other end long enough to wedge tight to the tree , put a ratchet strap around it at the brace and tighten.

Those are easy to make, if you have a chop saw and a wire welder. All my ladders have a chain and turn buckle. Critters eat ratchet straps.

Put up a pic or sketch wmhunter. Not sure I am following The wmhunter 2x4 idea sounds like the way to go. It sounds to me like the U bolt would be coming in almost sideways to the step with the holes a few inches from the end of the board. Maybe angle the holes towards the tree a little to compensate for the bad angle on the step. You would be good to go for many years.

Put up a pic or sketch wmhunter. Not sure I am following I will take some pics this weekend. ********* Those 2x4 photos above are a poor way of building a ladder stand brace. You guys will like mine a lot better.

I finally took some pics of my ladder stand brace system using u-bolts.
I will send to sugar in his corn bread Jared to post for me because I have no idea how to post pics.
