I'm no metallurgist but it looks more like welded steel.

But I'd be more concerned about the lower section not being positively attached to the shoes - what if it bumps/catches while you're lifting it and you accidentally drop it? You're stuck up the tree with a chainsaw, looking stupid.

That looks like one of those Alaska bush planes that can take off in like 10 feet.

"10 feet" is hardly an exaggeration. I think the record is now at 11' takeoff, 9'5" landing in the purpose built class.

That's a bush plane, takeoff is not going to be an issue

Is that due to a headwind or does it really have a stall speed of 20 mph?

It's both. That's Bobby Breeden's 2015 world stol record flight. Wind was 16mph, gusting to 20. 24' takeoff, 20' landing.

Yes, I know.

Garages/Workshops generally have some level of organization, even if it's because the structure is too small to allow anything insane.

Self-Storage units can be anything. They're just places to put stuff. Some are organized. Some are a mess. What's inside? Who knows? Maybe it's old furniture. Maybe it's plutonium. True Neutral.

DIY Buildings are the essence of chaos and Colin Furze is their avatar.

I believe that is a climbing tree stand - used for hunting. Not actually designed to be used for cutting trees down.

The foot section is supposed to be attached to the seat section and he should have a safety strap around the tree.

Yup, looks like a properly used climbing tree stand involves a lot more fall arrest options.
