RE: Who carries a hangon up and down on their back?
I have a coupe sets of LW sticks and stands. I can be set up in the tree quicker (five to tem minutes tops) than with a climber and quieter. Canlt beat LW for portability and quiet.
I bought some gorrilla sticks this year and let me tell you they are nice. What I like is the steps are on each side per step. And they are rock solid with nonslip material on each step. But what I really like about them is this. You can wrap your one leg b/t the step and tree and you are able to use both hands to hang the stand. They are a lot heavier than the LW however and would not want to pack them any great distances.
