the older i get the.more comfortable i need to be added 3 roof to stands this year.. building them is not very comfortable but after rebuilding the stands few years ago they could.use a bit of protection as well pressure treated wood is not what it use to be ...

even got a few guys from camp to help..

I hear ya and nice job!  I use the umbrella roofs and love them, but we left them in the trees last year and a snow storm destroyed all them. Thanks for the reminder, I have to pick up new ones this week.

farmer just brush hogged lanes for me by one hut, building a second this week . Comfy chair and heat , Jet Boil for hot soup ! Mostly use large ladder stands in bow and a lot in gun, but bad weather is now a non issue .

Sold all my hang ons, traded my LW. climber for plumbing work .

Hell I don't want to tough it out anymore either! LOL!  Every year comfort is becoming more important for me, so I am going with ladder stands until the weather gets nasty, then I'm trying a hub blind for the first time ever. For Christmas last year, my wife set me up with a Barronett Big Cat blind, a Cabelas Comfort Max Mag Elite chair and a Buddy heater. I'm really looking forward to trying it.
