A tree stand includes an activity rail assembly rotatably attached to a chair. The activity rail assembly is rotatable among a first stowed position in which the activity rail assembly is oriented upright, a second stowed position in which the activity rail assembly is oriented downwardly, and one or more deployed positions between the first stowed position and the second stowed position. The activity rail assembly is extendable and retractable between a first position and a second position, wherein when the activity rail assembly is in the first position, a horizontal activity rail portion is closer to the chair than when the activity rail assembly is in the second position. The tree stand may further include a platform to support the chair, and, optionally, a ladder portion to support the platform.

Portable hunting blind including seat/chair for use in hunting or similar environment including side panels and hinge brackets having support arms mounted to side panels; seat mounted to side panels, the seat together with side panels and hinge brackets having support arms form a chair-like structure; skirt put around side panels to conceal hunter sitting on seat; and bonnets and blind top. Blind top conceals hunter while allowing hunter to see what is going on around him. To hunt or to come out of portable hunting blind, hunter stands up throwing back bonnets and hitting the skirt with his knee, thereby detaching skirt. Portable hunting blind is folded by folding side panels along with skirt with help of hinge brackets and by throwing back bonnets to retracted state for easy transport.

Disclosed is a method for acclimating animals in a habitat area to specific sounds caused by humans, specifically motorized vehicle sounds. Also disclosed is a device for acclimating animals in a habitat area to specific sounds caused by humans acclimating Recorded sounds are played back at specified times using the device, which is remotely positioned in the habitat area. This playback, when conducted for a sufficient period of time, acclimates the animals in that habitat to the recorded sounds.

A detachable seat includes an elongate support bar including a first bracket and a second bracket each positioned adjacent opposing ends of the elongate support bar, a seat support frame including a first support member and a second support member affixed to the first support member, a hinge pivotally connecting the first support member to the elongate support bar, a seat mounted on the second support member, the seat support frame and the seat pivoting around the elongate support bar upon pivotal movement of the first support member, and a retaining arm affixed to and extending from the elongate support bar adjacent the first bracket, the retaining arm including a plurality of alignment apertures formed along a length thereof.

A self-climbing platform adapted to movably attach to, and hang from, a vertical structure for supporting a load with a cable connected to a main support connector comprising a retaining strap configured to surround at least a portion of the vertical structure, an adjustment lock attached to the retaining strap and a bracket. The bracket comprising an upper member connecting on one side to an adjustment bar and to a second side of a lower member to form a triangulated structure configured to a cantilevered position with respect to the vertical structure. The cable supporting the platform is connected to the bracket in a manner permitting transmission of the force required to support the self-climbing platform in a direction angled towards the vertical structure. The platform can rotate 360° around a tree or pole and can be used in forestry, civil or recreational fields.

A portable hunting blind assembly includes a plurality of tubes that is each positionable on a support surface having each of the tubes defining a respective corner of a rectangle. A plurality of spools is each rotatably integrated into a respective one of the tubes. Each of the spools is biased to rotate in a first direction and each of the spools is rotatable in a second direction. A plurality of screens is each coupled to a respective one of the spools. Each of the screens is drawable outwardly from the respective tube and each of the screens is releasably attachable to an adjacent one of the tubes when the screens are drawn outwardly from the respective tube.

Disclosed herein is an exemplary bipod device that includes a first shaft and a second shaft. The first and the second shaft are attached together by a connector. Also, attached to the first shaft is a first platform and attached to the second shaft is a second platform. Additionally, disclosed herein is an exemplary bipod system that includes a bipod comprising a first and a second shaft, and a connector connected to the first and second shaft. The bipod system further includes a first platform attached to the first shaft.
