I don't think I will buy another climber. With climbing sticks I can use a light hang-on or tree saddlein more trees that I could use a climber and not carry as much weight.
Same here. I have a Summit Openshot that I bought last summer (the small 14lb job) that only saw the woods twice last fall. Ground blinds and expeditious lock ons are more my speed. You can put them in any tree. And if there are no trees...well enter the ground blind.
