    Dont tell anyone where you put it!
    Maybe old Joe will come stumblin through and find out the messaging for himself.
    Or fall asleep in it.

    If you want any pole hardware to bolt /secure let me know.
    5/8's galvanized bolts, 2 1/4 square washers, galvanized guy cable etc.

    Thank you sir. That is very nice of you. I think I’m good though, I have some 2” galvanized pipe brackets to mount blind to scaffold and I think I’m using fence posts or augers with cables/ clamps to hold scaffold to the ground.

    Something else that will work and is relatively easy to do is those green metal stamped posts that you can get from tractor supply.
    Drive them in right up to the legs and lag to them once they're pounded in enough.

    Those are the posts I was thinking of- I just wont be able to get them close enough to the scaffold to fasten with bolts, because the screw jacks have 6”x6” plates and those will set either on 8”x16” concrete or treated pads. I think I can drive the stake around a foot from scaffold, then cable or strap bottom rung to stake.

    to each his own,,
    I'm typ 30' up in a climber,, I prefer to be "Out" amongst nature,, gives me the feeling of being a part of the surroundings.

    I agree. Prefer to be in a comfortable climber rather than in a box stand. Unless its raining or windy.

    I like my options. I have a climber, and several other “leaners”. I’ve been hunting for almost 40 years, I know how nice nature can be, and I know how not so nice she can be.
