Do you think the stand was trying to run?

Ha ha. The board in tree broke then the nails worked out. I am surprised it's not on the ground.

How soft is that ground? Looks like the tree has started to lean. :o

We had one fall the other day because of wet ground. It had been leaning for a little while.

dang. Glad there weren't people in the box.

May want to invest in some 2x6s for the rebuild. Either that 2x4 had a lot of pressure on it or wasn't in the best of shape.

Jack may be tough. I'm thinking a come-along from the top to help reset. Good luck!

The stand has been up a while. The come along was what I was thinking of using.

If you don't have a come along a ratcheting tie down strap might work if you put it around the trunk and some or all of the stand. I used one recently to stretch chain link.

This is why I don't attach these type stands to a tree. It's not a matter of if, it's when will this happen... It needs to be sitting on a platform or on 4 legs braced very well. Good luck.

Well the help of two teenagers I saved the stand. Image. Image. Image. It's not permanently fixed yet. But it's back up and secure till I build a new ladder and redo the tree braces.
