Has anyone used an Ol' Man treestand?

I have the Ol Man Original climber. It's worked fine for me. It's a great stand for the not so high price, and you get a free safety belt with it. I feel safe as can be up there in it. But I suggest, if you do purchase one, to get the Vision. The added foot room for bow and the rest for guns, makes a big difference.

I use one too and had my doubts seeing their support arms fold. But I've never had any trouble as long as I adjusted it properly to the tree. It is much quieter then my Loggy though it is heavier. For me it is very comfortable. I would recommend them.
By the way, you could do a search as others have posted about this stand and get your responses quicker.

I have one. It is the ultra lite model. A little pricey, but I felt it was worth it for the reduced weight. They look intimidating the first time using it but they are quiet and stable.

This is my first season in a Grand Vision Climber. It is a pretty nice stand. I bought it after someone stole my Summit Viper. I spend a lot of time facing the tree, even when bow hunting and this works well in either of those stands. I did prefer the cable attachment system on the Viper better than the pins in the Old Man.
