I have the chief as well, as well as gorilla treestands and a summit climber. I prefer the chief the best cause after gettign a few gorillas stolen, this allows you have a stand up and no one will know, all thats there is the chain where you hang your stand. The seat isnt the most comfortable, but then again, i have never been in a stand that i would say is extremely comfortable. I highly recommend them. One your pegs are in the tree, you can have the entire thing set up and be sitting in a minute.
