My Summit Backpacker folds up to about 5 inches..I'm in a WMA so the deer are real nervous..
I camo ducked taped all the metal parts which silenced the metal moving parts very good..I try to take my time when setting up and packing in order not to spook game.

Setting up.. taking my time 5 minutes and I'm settled in the tree.

Packing up..taking my time 10 minutes..I try to be just as quiet leaving my area as I am getting there.
