Buying my first tree stand

[Green Pea]

Hello to all,

I want to buy a nice tree stand and was hoping to get some advice. I"™ve looked through the internet and stores at the various types and the one that caught my eye was found here.

There"™s a link to one called the "œtree lounge"�. Have any of you used this one and if so, what do you think of it.

Are there any recommendations for others or did I find the crown jewel? I will be rifle hunting with it. (12ga with a slug barrel)

Get a Summit Backpacker LOVE MINE. Super stable {Especially if your LARGE lilke me}

COMFORTABLE ......can sit all day. Can shoot 360 degrees

Packing will take some getting used to but it's a breeze now.
200-300 dollars depends where ya shop.

With the strategies I hunt I rarely use a treestand. However, after doing alot of research I decided that the backpacker is going to be my stand...

Here is why I chose.
1. Summit has a 5 star reputation

2. I needed one tha twould not squeak when I was bow hunting and could hold me. Don't ask what I weigh but I put it to the test.

3. My back sometimes gets sore so I needed comfort.You got it. It is safe enough to sleep in.

4.I'm 51 and not in the best of shape and have been back packing it over 1 mile.

5.I feel safe in it and I am afraid of heights. I only go about 12 feet.

6 You can shoot 360 degrees.

Please keep your harness on.It is still a man made tool.

Thanks for pointing that out Reb...!
