Im pretty sure i have shown you my setup. I use a modified self climbing system that uses the platform and sling to climb trees. Exact same principle as a self climber tree stand. All your weight is on one component with the other is lifted up. So weight is on the platform and the seat/sling is raised, then weight is on the seat/sling while the platform is raised and up you go.....i can get 15 ft in under a minute with little effort. My whole kit everything included is right at 6lbs and easily fits in a small backpack. If a guy really wanted to streamline things a custom foot platform could be made for both additional weight savings and more secure footing...currently my foot rest is a 2" x20" hardwood dowel. But a plastic folding type could easily be designed that could offer even better footing and still be used as your climber...
