Who's is the best, looking for lightweight but don't want to fall from the sky either.

How far do you plan on walking with it on your back?

 

[smokems]

Always heard you cant go wrong with an Ol' Man. Never used one myself though. I have an API Grandslam Bowhunter, it is a bit heavy for a long walk.

 

[HI OFCR]

I would have to agree with smokems. I have never used one before but have been told that Ol Man is the way to go. They have a couple stands that are around 20 pounds. But, they are a little exspensive.

I have an API, when I got to the tree about 1/4 mile away I was too tired to climb it. Tonight I walked about 1/2 mile or so to get to a ladder stand, would like to make that trip with a climber.

My Summit Goliath is pretty light for that kind of walk and stupid comfortable. One of the few that I can spend an entire day in.

I just got a Summit Blade SD and im very happy with it. I like that it folds flat to transport.

I love my summit viper.

 

[TubingJon]

Those three Summit stands look very similar, what is the difference? I see the viper is the lightest though.

API Bowhunter here too....walked way back in the woods more than once.....not all that bad with the right backpack straps.

But I do a lot of walking for my job.... so I'm not in too bad a shape

No votes for the Lone Wolf Sit-N-Climb yet? Best climber on the market IMHO! Super quite, weights under 15 pounds, and had a Cast Aluminum platform, so it makes NO NOISE even in super cold weather!

 

[TubingJon]

Have to check that one out, thanks.

I have to agree with u on a Lone Wolf my buddy has one and he walks circles around me with out my climber. Ive got a Summit Viper and Ive probably logged more sleeping hours then real hunting cause its so damn comfortable (like a lazy boy in the tree) but i don't use it anymore because it absolutely SUCKS to pack in. Great if u bring it in with a quad but walking....No Good

 

[LS1StreetZ]

Love my ol man! Had it for several years... Most comfortable I've ever been in and IM a big guy at 6'3" 295lbs.... I've never got tired packing it in to the stand, even in the rough mountains of wv

Summit blade SD here also. Light comfortable and quiet, I am very happy with it. It's almost too comfortable It's way too easy to fall asleep.

I have been looking for a Viper. Trying to find some used ones online...not very easy!

I have an API Grand Slam and like it a lot. My buddy has an API Shooting Star, and its more comfortable than mine but takes a college degree to get set up when your half asleep in the mornings!
