I've hunted public land for many years and after much debate with myself I finally bought a climber so I could move around a little easier. I purchased a Lone Wolf hand climber and after climbing several trees I am wondering why I didn't buy one sooner. It sets up quickly and quietly and I'm very pleased with it. This is the first climber I've ever owned and I would highly recommend it. I am usually standing a majority of the time when hunting so I opted not to buy a climber with all the fancy seats, arm rests, foot rests, etc. Without all these extras this stand is light and makes backpacking a breeze. Oh, and I almost forgot about the bow holder built into the platform. So if your in the market for a climber, keep Lone Wolf in mind.
