RE: Lone Wolf treestands
Well, for any guys (under 300 lbs.), who haven't tried the new Seat on the Sit & Climb I would highly recommend doing so. It as just as comfortable as any of the other "sling style" climbers out there. I've sat in mine all day several times and it's as comfortable as it needs to be without making it bigger.
The reason Lone Wolf hasn't made the top section any wider is due to the packing size. If it's any wider, it will be several inches outside of the platform which will take away from the packability of the stand. That has and always be the heart and sole of Lone Wolf. Light, Mobile, and Quiet. If you are a really big guy, there are many other stands on the market that would probably be more comfortable. I'd recommend checking out a Summit, Non-Typical, etc.....
