Since nobody has said it - get a Lone Wolf Alpha Hang-On, a set of Lone Wolf climbing sticks, and you're set. The stand itself is extremely lightweight, rock solid, amazingly quiet, and with the new seat it's very comfortable to sit in for long periods of time.
The sticks will get you up 14-15' without a problem, are just as light as the stand, and are built to stack into each other and strap directly to the stand. After you get used to using them as a combo you can have a stand hung in a very short amount of time, and in even less time you can pull it, stack it, and be packing back to your truck.
Here's a pic of a hang-on stand with a set of sticks strapped to it. Total weight: 20lbs.
Well now I have another question. what is the difference in that stand and say a baby gorilla stand? I have the gorilla stand and its light and easy to put up. Is there a difference?
Now, I am not only talking about bowhunting out of the stand all day, I am talking about using a rifle as well. So this stand, the LW one will be suitable for an all day sit?
I noticed you said that they can strap to the back of the LW stand. Is this just for the LW only?
Thanks.
