RE: Can someone reccomend a lightweight climbing stand??
I agree with quicksilver. If you can deal with the hug the tree and pull the stand up with your feet then it is the ideal stand. My light weight loggy weighs about 8 lbs and is great to pack in. I LOVE IT. Once you are at the top with the climbing band around the treee and the seat straped to the tree it is rock solid. (You can do jumping jacks up there)
Look into it cuz it is a great stand.
