yep, Kamil is right there....and sometimes if you leave a stand in a tree with any kind of nylon or cloth belt fastening it to the tree the squirrels might chew it up....use chain if you are leaving it more than 24 hrs. i make all my own portable all-lumber stands that are pretty spacious(35"x25" aprox) and weigh in at around 12-14 lbs....but there are a million ways to skin a cat.
