I've got the Alpha hand climber and it's great. The seat is plenty large for your butt (assuming you make the 300lb weight limit). No hand rails or anything to rest on so an all day stay is not going to include a nap, but then again it only weighs 15lbs. The locking mechanisms for the belt that goes around the tree are very easy to feel even with gloves on and you can set it up without a light. I'd give it a couple practice tries with your eyes closed first though. The climber is easy to use. I rest my elbows and forearms on the seat pad and pull my feet up. It's easy climbing because the stand is so light on your feet. To me, this is the perfect stand for a bow hunter. I have an API that I put up and leave up (as a backup location) cause bringing it in and out is a pain but the Lone Wolf can go anywhere with me. Hope this helps.
