WARNING
This product carries strict height and weight restrictions.
Do Not use this product if you exceed the total weight
limit. Please note that the total weight limit includes the
user(s) and their equipment.
WARNING
When hunting from a treestand falls can occur any
time after leaving the ground causing injury or death.
Always wear a Fall Arrest System (FAS) comprising a full
body harness at all times after leaving the ground. You
must stay connected at all times after leaving the ground
while using climbing and hang-on treestands. Single
safety belts and chest harnesses are no longer allowed
and shall never be used. If you are not wearing a full body
harness properly attached to the tree that is protecting
you from a fall, do not leave the ground.
Read and understand all of the manufacturer’s Warnings
and Instructions and use all safety devices provided by
the manufacturer. Contact the manufacturer for any
questions. Failure to do so could result in injury or death.
Never exceed the total weight limit of the treestand.
Never use a treestand during inclement weather such as
rain, lightning, windstorms or icy conditions and end your
hunt and return to the ground if inclement conditions arise.
Never use a treestand while using drugs (even
prescription drugs) or alcohol.
Never use a treestand while feeling ill, nauseous or dizzy,
or if you have a prior medical condition that could cause
a problem, that is, heart condition, joints that lock-up,
spinal fusions, etc., or if you are not well rested. Never
sleep in stand.
Never use a treestand on a dead, leaning, diseased or
loose barked tree, or a utility pole. Always avoid electrical
power lines.
Never rely on a tree branch for support.
WARNING
Never jump or bounce on a treestand to seat it to the tree.
Pull up a bow, backpack, or rearm or other equipment
only after being secure in the treestand and a rearm
must be pulled up with it unloaded, chamber open, and
muzzle down.
Always inform someone of the hunting location, where
the treestand will be located and the expected duration
of the hunt.
A signal device such as a mobile phone, radio, whistle,
signal are or personal locator device (PLD) must be on
your person and readily available at all times.
Inspect the treestand and all safety devices each time
before use and Do Not store a treestand outdoors when
not in use.
Never modify your treestand in any way by making
repairs, replacing parts, or altering it except if explicitly
authorized in writing by the manufacturer.
Practice installing, adjusting and using your treestand at
ground level prior to using it at elevated positions. Study
your new stand to become familiar with all of its features
and design. Doing so will conrm that the product is
manufactured, assembled and installed correctly.
Instructions (written and video) shall be kept in a safe place
and reviewed at least annually. It is the responsibility of
the treestand owner to furnish the complete instructions
to any person who borrows or purchases the treestand.
Use at least three (3) people to install or take down a
ladder treestand.
The criss-cross straps/ropes and stabilization devices
must be attached before climbing to the platform.
When installing a ladder stand, always bounce on the
rst rung to set the ladder into the ground according to
manufacturer’s instructions before proceeding to climb
any higher.
Check every ladder section connection every time you
use the stand before you leave the ground. If ladder
sections are separating, do not use the stand.
Check the ground under the stand to make sure it is rm
and level. Sloping ground or uneven surface (one side on
a rock) can cause your ladder to tilt or shift o the tree as
you climb.
Always maintain three (3) points of contact when
climbing a ladder treestand. Proper three-point contact
means having either two feet with one hand or one foot
with two hands on the step portion of the ladder or
climbing aid at all times.

READ AND UNDERSTAND THE FOLLOWING WARNINGS BEFORE SETUP AND USE
STOP
WARNING
Bring ratchet strap(s) up with you in a pocket - Do Not
carry in your hands!
WARNING
Double check assembly steps to be certain you have
correctly assembled this product.
Study your new stand to become familiar with all of its
features and design. At ground level, following provided
use instructions, practice attaching stand to tree and
removing stand from tree. Practice sitting, standing, and
using this product before attaching overhead. Save these
instructions for future reference. You must always use the
provided Fall Arrest System (FAS) while using this product.
Always use at least three (3) people to install or take down
a ladder treestand. Always have two people stabilize the
ladder before climbing to the platform the rst time after
every set-up.
Be absolutely sure the tree blade(s) on stand and the
stabilizer bar are contacting tree before climbing ladder.
Stabilizer bar must always be correctly and securely
attached to ladder and tree before climbing ladder.
Make sure ladder bottom is rmly seated on dry, level
ground. Attach your harness tether to the tree before
securing the platform to the tree and stepping onto
platform. Refer to the Full Body Harness instructions.
Never ascend or descend ladder without criss-cross
straps/ropes securely holding ladder to tree and stabilizer
bar securely attached. Failure to correctly perform these
steps can cause the ladder to collapse/buckle-over
backwards during the initial ascent to attach ratchet strap
resulting in serious injury or death.
Always lean forward as you climb and attach your harness
to the tree before securing the platform to the tree and
stepping onto the platform.
WARNING
Always maintain three (3) points of contact when
climbing a ladder treestand. Proper three-point contact
means having either two feet with one hand or one foot
with two hands on the step portion of the ladder or
climbing aid at all times.
Always wear the appropriate footwear when using a
ladder treestand. A good non-slip safety boot is important
to your personal safety. Be especially careful that boot laces
do not get hooked on the stand or any of its components
(tuck shoelaces into boots before climbing).
Never stand on seat, it is designed for sitting only.
Do Not allow excessive strap buildup in ratchet as this
will prevent the ratchet teeth from engaging causing
slippage.
Always attach ratchet straps securely while using this
product!
If seat is removable, be certain it is securely attached
when in use.
Some models include a shooting rail. Never lean against,
lean over, or sit on shooting rail. It is designed as a
shooting rest only. Always be aware that the shooting rail
can swing to one side or pivot up and down.
Some models include a footrest, which is designed as a
footrest only. Never stand on footrest! Always be fully
aware of foot placement.
Some models include a multi-piece stabilizer bar system.
Be sure attachment hardware goes through both the
extension tube and the stabilizer bar.

1. Select a straight, healthy tree. Do Not attempt to install on a tree
that is not healthy.
2. With assembled product lying on the ground, position one person
at bottom end of ladder lying on the ground. This person has to
prevent the ladder end from tilting up when platform end is lifted
and prevent the ladder from skidding across ground.
3. a. Position two people at the platform end of the ladder, lift the
platform end and continue uprighting by walking toward bottom
end of ladder and moving hands along ladder legs. Stand ladder
up against chosen straight tree on dry, level ground. Use
caution when ladder comes over center against the tree. SEE
FIGURES 12A.
b. Step back and look at the ladder top to see that it is level. Adjust
as needed to achieve a level platform top. Make sure tree blade is
contacting tree. SEE FIGURES 12B.
c. Step down hard on bottom step to push ladder legs into the
ground. SEE FIGURES 12C.
4. While two people hold the stand in place, the third person should
connect the horizontal stabilizer bar to the tree. Adjust the length
of the stabilizer bar as need so it contacts the tree and is level to
the ground. Then secure it to the tree with the 6' cam strap (29) by
forming a cinch knot with both ends of the strap and running the
long end of the strap through the cam buckle. SEE FIGURES 13
and 14.
SETUP AND USE INSTRUCTIONS
During installation and removal of ladder treestands, you
must always and properly use the included Full Body Harness
(Fall Arrest System). Refer to the Full Body Harness instructions
included with this product for proper use.

5. a. Loop the D-loop end of the two 16' criss cross straps (30)
through the loop end to form a cinch knot around the ladder
rail tube. Secure beneath a step rung, at the stabilizer bar height
location. SEE FIGURE 15A.
b. With the stand level and being held in place by two people,
the third person must cross one of the 16' criss cross straps (30)
behind the tree and feed the free end through the opposite
D-loop. SEE FIGURE 15B-E.
c. Criss cross the other 16' stabilizer strap (30), forming an "X"
pattern on the of the tree and feed the free end through the
opposite D-loop. SEE FIGURE 15B-E.
6. Make sure the criss cross straps and stabilizer bar strap are snug
and the tree blade is still contacting the tree.
NOTE: This ground level ladder-to-tree attachment will prevent
the ladder from pulling away from the tree while ascending to the
top for nal 6' ratchet strap (25) attachment. The same holds tree
when the ladder is removed.
7. With two people securely holding the ladder, use the three point
contact climbing method to slowly climb the ladder and carefully
keep a constant hand grip on the ladder at all times. Always lean
forward, toward tree, to keep top section tree blades against the
tree. Be certain ladder bottom is rmly seated on dry, level
ground. Attach your harness tether to the tree before securing
the platform to the tree and stepping onto platform. Refer to
the Full Body Harness instructions included with this product.
NOTE: Bring ratchet strap up with you in a pocket. DO NOT carry
in your hand!
8. a. Standing on ladder step, lean toward tree with ratchet strap now
in hand, Hook "S" hook with long strap through hole provided on
tree blade. Feed the long strap through the center (slot) of ratcheting
mechanism and back around through tightening lever. SEE FIGURES
16, 17A AND 17B.
NOTE: Be sure you feed the long strap correctly so there are no twists in
the strap.
b.Wrap entire ratchet assembly around tree and hook other "S" hook through
opposite upper tree blade hole. Pull tail of long strap until most of the slack
is taken out. Be sure entire strap is even and at the same level all around tree.
"Ratchet" tight to tree, this will securely attach ladder to tree and prevent
movement. SEE FIGURES 17C.
NOTE: Make sure there is at least two full revolutions of strap on the
ratchet spool before the strap tightens. Proper tension will ensure
the stand is secured to the tree. Do not allow excessive strap to build
up in the ratchet as this will prevent the ratchet teeth from engaging
and can cause slippage.

RELAX WIDE Ladder Stand
Portable ground blinds take a beating from the sun, wind, rain and snow. Col-
ors fade, materials rot, poles break and fabric tears. The Landmark Permanent
Blind was designed and constructed to resist the elements year after year. The
durable steel frame is covered in marine-grade reinforced synthetic tarpaulin,
made from the same rugged materials used in pick-up truck tonneau covers.
The window conguration allows you to precisely control gap vertically, hori-
zontally or both. If you’re looking for an aordable year-round hunting blind
with enough room for group hunts and archers, the Landmark Permanent
Blind is for you.
All climbing aids are not created equal. For starters, Bigfoot
Climbing Aids feature extra-large rungs that a hunter can
place 2 feet on the same level. Next we use a permanent
anti-slip coating called Tractionite. Our assortment of
climbing aids securely attach to the tree using a cam straps
or ratchet straps. We take immense pride and satisfaction
in knowing that our designs consistently gain praise from
hunters and outtters who recognize the little dierences. A
big hunt should never be ruined over a a little climb!

Nothing attaches to a tree tighter than a Big Foot™
Treestand! Our line of lever-action hang-on stands bite
into the tree eliminating the need for a second strap. Other
treestands use small ratchet straps that are not as secure
once installed. Perfect for sitting on a tree at ground level
or higher up when paired with our climbing aids. Feel the
stability of a Big Foot™ Treestand for yourself!
