RE: climbing Treestand
I'm a huge fan of the lone wolf sit'n climb. Folds up compact, its light, really quiet in use anddoesn't requirestraps or foot stirrups.
Its the fifth climber that I've had in my thirty plus years of bowhunting, none of the other compared. I actually bought my son one because I felt sorry for him having the use the previous climber I owned.
