Abstract
An elevated occupant supporting stand convertible to a wheeled cart capable of multiple uses and purposes. The stand includes a framework having a seat, footrest, safety railing and a structure for engaging a vertical support member such as a tree trunk, pole or the like. A sectional ladder is detachably connected to the framework and a stabilizer bar extends between a lower portion of the ladder and the support member to enable an occupant to climb the ladder to gain access to the framework, seat and related structure and enable an occupant to descend from the stand to ground surface. When used as a cart, an axle fixedly secured to the framework is provided with supporting wheels and the framework and disassembled ladder sections form a structure for supporting various items to be moved to and from a site of use of the stand with the ladder sections being secured together and forming projecting handles for manipulating the wheeled cart.
