i had to move my stand today. it took me 30 minutes total. and thats taking itdown, moving it a quarter mile, and putting it all back up. it isn't too heavy or loud. i believe the hunter's view razorback cost like $50 and the 20' climbing stick was like $36. you can't beat that. i like the stick bc u don thave to mess with puttin steps in the tree and it can be moved easily. The strapsmake it pretty easy to hang. just giving you amore of my thoughts..like i said before i have both and use both. i like the mobility of the climber but hate hauling it in every single time....thats why i prefer a hanging stand with a climbing stick. esp if you know a certain area you are goin to be hunting and dont think you will be moving it a lot.
