RE: fat guy stands
I use a Summitt Viper and can sit all day in it. I'm 6' 5", and usually weigh about 280-285 lbs during hunting season. I will admit I would like a stand with a little bigger climber and a larger platform (lower). If I can come up with the money, I would go with the Summit 180 Max stand. Specs seem like it would fit the bill.
