Abstract
A portable tree stand includes a rigid, substantially rectangular lightweight platform having a flexible chain secured thereto for use in attaching and locking the platform to a tree trunk. A pair of elongate brace members are pivotally connected to the lower surface of the platform and are fixedly connected to a penetrating member, which penetrates the tree trunk when the tree stand is mounted on a tree. The platform has a recessed end and a pair of penetrating elements projecting therefrom, which facilitate positioning and stability of the platform. Carrying straps are provided to permit easy transport of the portable deer stand as a backpack.
