Summit all the way...

Most others on the market are made in China... like Ameristep.. With the exception of a very small few.. like Summit, Lone Wolf, ???

API got sued due to a treestand injury... and went out of business.. Bass Pro Shops bought the name.. and now has the stands made in China... Ever wonder why BPS is the only place you can get API??? "And now you know the rest of the story"

Summit! No questions asked... They are by far the best, IMHO... Made right in Decatur Alabama, and are very very well made. The lightest, most rugged, most quiet, and even the most comfortable treestand around! [8D] Comfortable isn't kidding... you will find yourself nodding off to sleep in a Summit treestand!

Summit & Lone Wolf are the 2 that come to mind immediately. Loggy Bayou might still be made here.

Hate to burts yalls bubbles but only part of Summit stands are made here in the states. The rest is manufactured in China, shipped to the states and then fully asssembled in Decatur, Alabama.

To claim "MADE IN THE USA" only 51% of the finished product must be made here.
