Warning: Tree Lounge can get you killed if used wrong. The first couple of times using the TL scared the crap out of me because you have to remember to keep a weight applied to the TL, or it can fall due to no leverage pressure against the tree if used in the advanced climbing mode. It is a different kind of animal, but once you learn how to control the savage part, it is a safe and wonderful stand esp if you have back issues. Not for beginners nor faint hearted esp standing on the foot platform (BHA). It is like standing on a bouncing diving board 3 feet away from the tree, you need good balance....... When CESSO bought the company from Bob Heiss, they made a coated cable that goes up around the tree attached to the stand when climbing to prevent the stand from falling greater than a couple of feet. Stupid people should not use the TL. Example: They mount the leveler on the bottom side of the side rails which caused the bolt heads to pull thru the back brace, a no no. Then they get lawyers and sue. On many u-tube videos, notice people have the back brace bars (tubing) mounted under the side rails also. Must read instructions people.
