I bought the hand climber before hunting season and love it. I think it is very easy to climb with and quick setting up on a tree. It's light also, I did alot of scouting before season and brought it with me so I could climb potential trees and see if limbs needed cleared. After getting setup its just like being in a chain on, or strap on stand, no arm rests to get in the way of shots behind your tree. Its probably not as comfortable as the sit and climb, something you might want to considerif your planning to sit in it all day. This is my first climber and I am very impressed with Lone Wolf.
