Back years ago when we built wooden stands in the trees, we used cotton picker spindles for the steps to climb up on. I never ever heard of anyone having a spindle break, or having a stand they built give way. I guarantee there were some stands that collapsed, but I have never heard about them. I spent many an hour sitting in the V of a tree on wooden 2 x 4's. Those days are over now!
