 it on about 20 trees, of all shapes I could find here in Vancouver,
BC, coding on my laptop for 8 hours a day. No noticeable damage with a naked
eye, using the prototype. The bark doesn't get damaged, because once
everything is tightened, there's no movement or wiggling, only a compression.
Most bark can handle the compression. So even if you bump into the tree,
nothing's going to happen.

The manufactured product will probably have some padding on the lugs, it may
not be wood lugs, but maybe rubber lugs. Or metal or wood lugs, with rubber
padding glued on.

The way I set in in the prototype, is when the bolt of the lug rotates, the
lug also rotates. So I have to set it right, and then just use it at that
position. For the manufactured product, I'd like to set it, then tighten the
belt a little, then allow to screw the lug bolt so that the mounting bar would
become vertical. This means that the lug must have a bearing, that would make
the rotating bolt (or shaft) rotate freely, without moving anything on the
bark, so that the bark doesn't get damaged.

It looks too complicated for me, it would probably just make me think I will
sit on the ground with my laptop. However I feel the concept could be made to
appeal to someone as lazy as me with some simplification - I'm thinking if
everything could be focused on the strap.

First, it gets cold to work sitting if it's Spring time (15 degrees Celcius).
Is this case, only working standing keeps you warm enough, since the blood is
circulating. (In the hot summer, you could work sitting in a shade of a tree.)
Second, you can't work sitting on the ground for too long, it's just not
ergonomic. I also like my ergonomic Microsoft keyboard, without which I can't
code for too long. I like my mouse, etc. So, by sitting on the ground you can
do some adhoc work, but you'll go home for serious commitment.
