Doesn't the Packmaster only go up about 12 feet ? I'd almost bet that it would rattle a bit after a few set ups too. It looks very secure though .

I've looked at several brands of ladder stands lately , and I'm finding it harder to fault buying Hunters View . I have 2 of their climbers , and while not the lightest or best looking they do the job well . Their products in general are of decent quality for the small amout of money they cost . I've especially been looking at their Buddy series ladderstands for hunting with my grandkids here at home .
