i have a buddy who has a slight handicap and he uses the light weight alluminum north star. i think its the lightest one you can get. my all time favorite is the strongbuilt basic ladder stands. they have good bracing and roomy seat and foot platform. i was getting them for 69$. after that i like the 2 seater 99$ one at walmart that you can get on clearance for like half that. sure its heavy but comfortable.
