Four sticks and a hang-on weigh about 24 lbs. At the moment, it's the lightest way to get a set into "any" (within reason) tree.

What Wally said about the straps.

I've just found running and gunning easier to hunt where you want to hunt. Seems like the more stands we hang in the middle of summer - the less we end up hunting them. I like to move based on my gut at the particular time of year, conditions, and observed movement.
