For You Hunters: Converts to an easy and quick, tree stand or seat?

For you construction guys such an animal, what do you think of this design of ladder jack?

because of weight and space savings and durability.

If you built those well, they would be safe to use. I built a pair similar to that years ago when I was starting out, and by the time they started to get weak from being banged around, it was better for me to buy the light metal ones. I wouldn't buy the off-brands .. stick with Werner or another good company ... same for scaffold boards

edit: There are lots of complaints about the jacks I linked to .. about Chinese hardware. My jacks are really old (20+ years) and came with American grade 5 hardware, and even though mine are Werner, I'm not sure they are exactly the same design as the ones I linked to. Over the years, I've replaced  hardware in a lot of my tools with either American Grade 8 or stainless(more or less grade 7 equivalent) as well as using nyloc nuts where possible . They have grade 8 in them now.

Chinese unmarked hardware is generally below grade 3 (trash). Their stainless is likewise trash. In general, Chinese metal is garbage ... bad alloys, impurities, bad heat treatment.. the works. Even their mild steel pipe is a nightmare to thread.

My Lil Giant ladders have this system as an optional feature. I have never used them.
