I'VE USED MANY BRANDS OF CLIMBING TREE STANDS OVER THE YEARS. MOST TOP BRANDS ARE A GOOD CHOICE. BUT MY FAV IS GORILLA CLIMBERS. THE WAY THE CABLE HUGS THE TREE IS THE BEST I'VE SEEN., I'VE NEVER FELT SAFER. THAT'S THE MOST IMPORTANT FACTOR TO ME. BUT I'VE USED EVERYTHING FROM API TO LOGGY. I'VE LIKED THEM ALL BUT ONLY ONE I HUNT OUT OF. I THINK YOU LIKE ANY OF THE NEW MODELS OUT THERE FROM ANY BRAND THOUGH..GOOD LUCK ON YOUR PICK...ALWAYS .....GOOD HUNTIN
