Claim:
1. A climbing tree stand comprising: a first platform including a tree engaging portion and a pair of structural support arms extending at a desired angle from the first platform at two spaced locations, and a first flexible component that is operatively connected to one arm of the first platform and adjustably connectable with the other arm, the first flexible component comprising a first inner cable onto which a plurality of rigid segments are threaded so as to be freely slidable on the first inner cable, wherein the segments are sufficiently provided along the first inner cable and shaped to allow for the flexible component to be flexible in a desired plane but otherwise sufficiently rigid, based on interaction of the plural segments with one another, for substantially maintaining the flexible component at the desired angle of the arms to the first platform, wherein said plurality rigid segments comprises a combination of a plurality of holed and non-holed segments arranged along the first inner cable, wherein the other arm includes an internal passage within which an end portion of the first flexible component can slide for providing an adjustable connection between the first flexible component and the other arm, the other arm also being operatively connected with a movable element to selectively engage within a selected hole of said holed segments of the first flexible component.
