Default RE: new climber!

I do, got it for $30 at the end of last season. It's a Gorilla Wolverine. I've only used it a few times as I'm a beginner with a climber. Went about 12ft up a large pine Saturday afternoon and sat for about three hours. It was comfortable but felt tight because I'm used to my two-man ladder stand. I also find unpacking it and getting it on the tree to be a clumsy hassle, things that will change as I get used to using it. I like the harness that came with it and it felt sturdy, never felt like I had to fear falling. I left it on the tree because it's in private woods about 200yds from my house and someone would have to walk the woods to find it. There are only two people who hunt the woods, so I'll know who takes it if it disappears.

Overall....I like it. Could be lighter and a little easier on a beginner but I'll be up in it again this weekend.

Didnt have this stand but had a tree lounge. I did same thing left it hooked on a tree. Much easier that way. I dont think they get any better than a clumsy hassle. They do get easier to use but are still a pain. Maybe its because Im not much of a tree stand hunter but always seemed like more work then it was worth.

it looks like an original Ol' Man treestand, or very similar. I have an Ol' Man Grand Visionand a Tree Lounge. I like both of them. The Equalizers and the TreeWalker's are great too.
