Actually the tree size for an Equalizer is not much of an issue. I had one and like a dummy I sold it. Didn't pack quite as well as a Lone Wolf, but the Equalizer is the 2nd quietest climbing stand I ever used and the leveling feature did indeed work as advertised......great feature.

The Loggy Bayou Stalker in the pic is a very comfy and solid stand as well but the climbing aid sucks. Its still noisey and somewhat hard to use. If they could do something to make the climbing aid easier to use and quiet, it would be a better climber.

I still vote Lone Wolf as my favorite climbing stand because though its not quite as comfy as a Summit or a couple of others, the overall construction, weight, packing, quietness, and quality is just too good IMO. The one big thing they could change is the back bar or brace. It needs to be angled or curved instead of being straight making it much easier to start up a tree when you angle it to compensate for the tree getting narrower toward the top. At the botton of a tree the brace doesn't allow you to enough of an angle to start climbing. Are you listening LW?
