Default RE: Lone Wolf Stands

Jeff, there's 3 lbs. difference between LW's Sit & Climb and Summit's Razor (which is probably the closest apples-to-apples comparison). You're going to get a variety of opinions on whether those three pounds are worth the comfort the Summit offers.

MOST hunters I know only hunt 1/4 mile from the truck, so those three pounds shouldn't matter a hill of beans... I'd be willing to bet that even those hunters who SWEAR they hunt "a mile" from their vehicles don't... I say this because I used to think I went way back until my Colorado trip and I started tracking myself via GPS... I wasn't going in near as far as I thought I was, even though I was still going in further than most do.

Here's a good alternative I've thought of myself after seeing the idea somewhere else... How about buying a Sit & Climb and then picking up a Summit seat and combining the two? The seats can be ordered very reasonably direct from Summit, and that way you possibly could have the best of both worlds!
