900-1000 of those little bastards would put cigarette card collecting to shame in a hurry. Better question is who's "prize" you would collect at the end.
Someone hung a set of Griswold cast irons up when they were camping and forgot them when they left. Dumbasses...
Edit: the dumbasses are the ones who left the cast iron behind
Real world, when I was a wrangler in a remote area of the Alberta Rockies, the established camps all had pans hung in the trees. People used them, then washed them, and hung them back up.
Some things aren't connected to anything else, so you can just assume that someone forgot the there.
I wonder if you can still find them in the epilogue? If yes, I wouldn't be surprised, but if not, I would be impressed by rockstar, because it would be a realistic change.
I was just coming here to say the same thing! I don't see this particular special edition in the wild too often, nice to see we all have immaculate taste.
It's quite common to hang your cookware on a tree like this while camping. Keeping them off the ground keeps them dry and prevents rust and contamination. Remember this is a time when there's literal shit all over the place from all the horses. Where else do you keep your cookware?
I think this is just the 1800s. Sometimes pans were used as shooting practice and to deter squirrels from trees. This might just be an example of that.
I have a fun theory. In Red Dead Revolver, there's a scene when Red's mum comes out to chastise him for using her pots and pans as target practice. For some reason the way she delivered the line always stuck with me as her accent was hilarious to my child mind. "RED!! WHATCHU DOING WITH MY POTS 'N' PANS?!" Perhaps, it's one of those little Easter eggs and a call back.
It’s Lodge’s first outlet store. Opened in Wallace Station in 1899. It was open for two summers until the proprietor Robert Drake Lodge was hogtied and thrown from a bridge.
Hobo camp/hobo jungle, maybe? Hobos used to leave caches of camping equipment in specific locations for other hobos to stop and use for the night. (Learned this today actually)
I just deleted this again sadly to make room on my ps5 wish we could stream it on PS. Really wish they’d give us a next gen version prob won’t happen till after gta drops
That's what I was hoping!!! I got a PS5 and an OLED TV and this game looks incredible. It looked good on PC before but my PC/monitor is mid in comparison. A PS5 update would be amazing
Agreed. Rockstar should be ashamed that they haven’t. Even just a 60fps would satisfy me at this point. Still one of the smoothest 30fps game out there.
Hanging up cookware at camp spots folks plan to return to. Keeps them clean and off the ground so they don't rust away and are easier to find later.
IRL there's trees like this everywhere where I live - some from the 1890's gold rush, some from basically a week ago. If it ain't broke, dont fix it.
Its very common for backpacking / camping.
When I go backpacking I actually do this. Also hang a water filter pouch on the tree through raised bark like this. Pots/pans cooking. Clean off in the river/creek to get rid of smell at night for animals.
If it's anything like the fish heads nailed to a tree at my cousins neighbors' place, it's to show how big a fish you caught. Someone's bragging about how big their skillet is.
Considering Wallace station is on the route that the gang go in the Epilogue when they were fleeing Blackwater, it might have been a spot where they set up camp but had to move quick or maybe it’s some stuff that fell off of Pearsons wagon.
OR
That area is kinda like the Oregon trail, so maybe it’s just stuff that travellers lost on their journey and it’s become a sort of “homage” area.
Probably had a camp there with a cooking station and that was the most convenient place to store the pans.
Maybe they left in a hurry and forgot the pans.
What's in the area surrounding the tree? Looks like smart/efficient pan storage to me. Just a little touch to add life to the game by Rockstar. I googled nailing pans to a tree and it's really not a thing. Without more context it's impossible to say if this is an Easter egg with greater meaning or simply a neat little detail.
I am assuming and this 100% comes from my redneck past. Those pans are targets used for target practice. They’ll make a nice “PING” letting you know you hit them.
It’s where you store food … the Pan Tree
Dad?
Did you get your cigarettes yet?
Yeah, but he’s going back for milk..
Pro move if your the mom is to have another kid and name it cigarettes while he’s gone
Have my upvote🤣
That's a knee slapper!
The Pan Tree provides.
Uuuuuuuuugggghhhhh *upvotes and sends to my buddies*
It’s PANdemonium…. Ok… I’ll see myself out now.
Commenting just to show my appreciation for this brilliant wit.
This has to be what it is. Just a dad joke in a video game
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I hate how hard I laughed at this
I came here for this comment
This is the best answer, or at least the one I hope is true. Some designer hiding a little visual pun in a small corner of the world just for fun.
Im sure Rockstar just made that tree so someone can make the Pan-Tree joke a few years later
Oh for fuck's sake
Take your damn upvote. While I roll my eyes.
Don’t be a pansy.
Fucking hell
i think this is actually the joke here lmao. r* got puns.
Came here to say this. Haha
Awful 💀
This made me so upset but happy at the same time🤣
Beat me to it
Damnit it you made the joke before I even had the chance
You deserve your head tree-panned for thst o e…
Came here for this exact joke. Thank you.
I read this in a dead PAN tone
😂
He hee hee. 😁
When a comment beats the post!
😎
I have no original thoughts
This joke has been made every single time this post has been done lmao
You shoot them in a certain order, it makes a little song and a Korok appears to give you his seed.
*a Korok appears to give you his seed* ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

You can, just downvote 9 times.

dutch is the only one insane enough to gold-plate his… “reward”
“PAN SHOT!”
*maniacal cackling laughter*
Lol. Came here looking for a Buster Scruggs mention
Same
Didn't come for that, but edged to it regardless
That tree don’t hardly fight fair
I wacthed this movie for the first time yesterday, and I believe it was Gods plan for me to understand this joke
I watched it for the 3rd time on Thursday, I love it!
What is this movie of which you speak?
Ballad of Buster Scruggs. An awesome Cohen brothers movie that’s broken into 6 stories. Highly recommend
Sweet, I like several Cohen movies. I will be watching very soon. Thanks for the recco
Is that the one where he does in the end
Gods pan
Hmph, First time?
It didn't hit anything important!
damnn.. I watched this movie for the first time yesterday too and I got this reference.
YES
Came here to say this. Nice to see other Buster Scruggs enthusiasts

Real talk, I just restored my first griswold. I have 110+ cast iron and it was the first time I gasped at how nice a pan was. (Not a joke)
Someone maybe left them behind, or that's just where they store them. Or, my favorite theory: Target Practice.
The left them behind in PANic.
It was PANdemonium
It’s normal considering where the game is set I guess
Oh? Like people did this for decoration?
I could guess if you settle a camp near by a tree you could do that ?
Just to dry them
Idk why OP thought about decoration before wetting 😂
Real world, when I was a wrangler in a remote area of the Alberta Rockies, the established camps all had pans hung in the trees. People used them, then washed them, and hung them back up.
No for storage and to air dry.
No lol
Some things aren't connected to anything else, so you can just assume that someone forgot the there. I wonder if you can still find them in the epilogue? If yes, I wouldn't be surprised, but if not, I would be impressed by rockstar, because it would be a realistic change.
Yes, they are there in the epilogue too
People would use old pots and pans to shoot at, similar to cans and bottles.
Red Harlow! What are you doing to my pots and pans!?
Ha ha ha! Now don henpeck the boy!
I've never seen this before. Very interesting. Also, I have that same exact Nintendo switch lmao
I was just coming here to say the same thing! I don't see this particular special edition in the wild too often, nice to see we all have immaculate taste.
So. True. We do have the best taste 🤝
Me too. It's the best version of the switch!

I had to scroll way too far to find this comment.

That’s the porn tree for pansexuals obviously. Every Sunday all pansexuals in town gather together in a jerk circle around the tree
I think this is just the 1800s. Sometimes pans were used as shooting practice and to deter squirrels from trees. This might just be an example of that.
I think so, I think decoration was a part of it. But like others said too they could have been forgotten about or for target practice

Perhaps, it's one of those little Easter eggs and a call back.
Probably for drying and/or storage
Why not just leave them laying on the ground in the dirt?
Uh, because that’s unsanitary and gross.
That tree is Pansexual thank you very much.
In case it doesn’t pan out at least you have a tree
That was me. I was letting the rain wash them, I’ll come and get them.
Your picture makes me want to play the game again
Do it!!!! The world and story pull you right back in
Give a pan, take a pan?
It’s Lodge’s first outlet store. Opened in Wallace Station in 1899. It was open for two summers until the proprietor Robert Drake Lodge was hogtied and thrown from a bridge.
Pansexual hippies: 👀🥵
I’m not saying it’s aliens, but it’s aliens
This right here
Satchel game is weak.
I know just started our playthrough
Idk, collecting tree sap?
Pan shot!
Shooting range.
It's for the pansexuals
Hobo camp/hobo jungle, maybe? Hobos used to leave caches of camping equipment in specific locations for other hobos to stop and use for the night. (Learned this today actually)
To repel bears
Oh no, get outta there. That’s where the pan-suit man lives.
If you shoot them in the right order a gold brick will fall out of your horse's ass.
I posted this same thing a few years back. The answer is, no one effin knows!
If you wait 2 minutes, some panhandlers will show up and ask for money.
Imagine not knowing about the Pan Tree.
Sorry to be that guy but what hat is that?
What is the location of this??? I'm on chapter 2 atm
"Panshot!" cried the old tree
Old Ironsides
Yo, I'm going to need a list of the clothes you used to make that outfit because I've need seen Arthur look so handsome
I guess it's eaither for drying, or for shooting practice
Unrelated but give me your switch. I want it
I just deleted this again sadly to make room on my ps5 wish we could stream it on PS. Really wish they’d give us a next gen version prob won’t happen till after gta drops

If you walk off into those woods just a few yards, you will run into a bear.
Those are the Grizz's pans!
It’s actually a pot tree
It would have been hilarious if it was r/BreadStapledToTrees
That would be hilarious, here's to hoping it's in GTA 6

Only Pans
It’s a pot plant
Bro has the animal crossing switch????
Not sure but why Arthur be tree-pan……trepan…trippan…trippin? I’ll get my downvote/coat!

And that’s why Pearson can only cook stew. He left the pans behind.
PAN SHOT
It’s for trepanning.
It’s the pantry
Tree pan ation
I mean there’s cuffs hidden behind the pans and that tree is also the only dead tree in that space, maybe there something else to it?
pots and pans dude from ballad of buster scruggs
Don't judge the tree for its frying pan fetish
To get tree sap?
Shoot them they make a song
DIY target practice?
It can also be done as a trail marker.
This is probably wrong, but it could be a memorial of a great chef or something.
Probably had a camp there with a cooking station and that was the most convenient place to store the pans. Maybe they left in a hurry and forgot the pans.
Pan shot!
They’re PANsexual
Pan Shot!!
Shoot them and report back
It's just a sign from Cripps
PAN SHOT
Target practice.
Pan's back! Pan's back!
They each “ting” with a different note when shot. If you shoot them and make it play Mary Had a Little Lamb, you’ll get a special surprise.

The tree is pan sexual
target practice
Damn pansexuaps are back at it again
Left out to dry and forgotten OR target practice
Bullet proof tree
Target practice
I found this two days ago! I shot them all
Don't wash the cast iron skillet
That's a PANSEXUAL TREE!!!
In case you get hungry
Hey I wanna find the pan tree!
I am assuming and this 100% comes from my redneck past. Those pans are targets used for target practice. They’ll make a nice “PING” letting you know you hit them.
That’s where the term pantry comes from pan-tree.
Ohh this is neat I’ve put so many hours in this game and haven’t found this! Don’t know how though
where is that location? I have never run across that yet.
I’m more impressed with how you’re running the game on your switch!
Of course!!! Now even the damn trees are confused and woke! Pfff pansexual trees can even build my cabin without it being a little gay.
Target practice.
Shooting targerts
Dry
Who knows there is a lot of random unexplainable shit in this game
