Tree climbing support

A tree climbing support for ascending and descending a tree comprising:

• (a) a body support characterized by a generally rectangular-shaped body support frame;
• a pair of substantially parallel top yoke sleeves having one end fixedly secured to opposite sides of said body support frame, respectively, said top yoke sleeves projecting from said body support frame in angular relationship and spaced at a first width with respect to each other;
• a pair of top yoke adapt to span the tree, with one end of said top yoke legs engaging said top yoke sleeves in telescoping relationship;
• and a generally V-shaped top yoke blade spanning the opposite ends of said top yoke legs in fixed relationship, whereby said top yoke blade engages one side of the tree and said body support frame engages the opposite side of the tree for supporting said body support on the tree;
• (b) a foot support characterized by a generally rectangular-shaped foot support frame;
• a pair of substantially parallel bottom yoke sleeves having one end fixedly secured to opposite sides of said foot support frame, respectively, said bottom yoke sleeves projecting from said foot support frame in angular relationship and spaced at a second width which is smaller than said first width, whereby said foot support can be nested inside said body support;
• a pair of bottom yoke legs adapted to span the tree, with one end of said bottom yoke legs engaging said bottom yoke sleeves in telescoping relationship;
• and a generally V-shaped bottom yoke blade spanning the opposite ends of said bottom yoke legs in fixed relationship, whereby said bottom yoke blade engages one side of the tree and said foot support frame engages the opposite side of the tree for supporting said foot support on the tree beneath said body support;
• and
• (c) an end frame member provided in said foot support frame;
• a pair of pins projecting in spaced, substantially parallel relationship from said end frame member;
• a top support brace provided in said top support;
• and a pair of pin openings located in said top support brace, whereby said end frame member is positioned adjacent said top support brace and said pins are inserted in said pin openings when said foot support is nested in said body support, and a pair of top yoke blade spikes projecting from said top yoke blade for registration with said bottom yoke legs when said foot support is nested in said body support.
