Looks terrible but I like the idea of being able to hook it up to a tree around the trunk.

So it's portable, but you have to bolt it into the wall? Good idea, bad execution.

Go up said tree and pull up on the branch without a shirt. Chicks dig that.

That's what cracked me up about the tree pic. You're gonna pay $300 for a sketchy pullup rig to bolt on a tree that has a natural pullup rig growing from it.

I got a full squat rack with a dip/pullup attachment for under $500. That $300 price strikes me as way high given what you get. It looks like this setup, only a little easier to dip on, and it doesn't hang in the doorway.

If your hands are big enough to wrap around a tree branch congrats! Or if you are tall enough to grab said branch congrats!

I don’t think many ppl are walking around somewhere and want to do pull-ups in general.

Maybe the groups of hammock loving teens would get some exercise.
