my 2 cents is i have had them all as well and lone wolf stands alone. although i am 5'11 200. i love the hand climber and probably like the combonation climbing sticks-alfa hang on better because there aren't a ton of straght trees around here. i got to where i could walk in in the dark find a tree throw the sticks up and be in stand and ready in 15 min. the stand itself in 6-7 min. and towing everything up and getting settled in 6-7. i love them.
