Thanks for all of the quick replies. I looked on the cabelas website and the only summit I found that folds flat is the broadhead backpacker but it weighs 21 lbs. I looked at the lone wolf but I am a little worried about the straps that go around the tree. Can anyone tell me more about these and how they last or even work. They look like they are plastic to me. The old climbing stand that Iused was the metal bar that wraped around the tree and it was heavy must have wieghed 50lbs. I have two hang on stands but I usually put them up before the season and lock them on the tree and leave them there all season. I am going to be hunting wildlife management areas so I need to walk far into the woods. thanks again
