RE: Good climbing stand for a big guy.
dittoo on the lone wolf!
that thing is light (17lbs, i believe, but mine is three years old now. I think the newer one is a little better and 18 or 19 pounds) and i set it up in the dark no problem. you really have to make a mistake to make any noise with it when setting it up. It has the bow holder built into it (buy the rubber grommet and padded straps).
I stillhunt with this unit on my back!
