I was in your position two years ago, I would only hunt in ladder stands or permenant stands. I now have 4 hang ons. They are the cheap ones and they work just fine. Some only come with the chains. I add ratchet straps for added safety and always use a harness. I have enjoyed the mobility and concealment to no ends. Once you start you won't go back. I am not saying that I don't get in a ladder stand or a fixed one, but its nice to have options.
