Get the lone wolf. i have had mine now for going on 5 yrs. There best attribute is silence. The one piece solid cast platform makes them ultra quiet no squeeks, pops,or tinks.I have4 other standsa new gorilla and a newameristep buckbuster, and two older cheapos. and after the weather got cold here. the Gorilla and theAmerstep made noise. My lone wolf is dead quiet. In fact of all the equipment I own the LW is one I never think of switching from. Its light, it packs flat. Its simpleand fast to set up. It won't disapoint you.
