HOnestly, though, GR8.....isn't it about 3lbs. lighter than the one I'm using? NO.....I wouldn't buy one based on that, alone. "Stealthier"? Because it sits closer to the tree? That sounds interesting, really. I'd be for that. Packable? Again....revert to No. 1. I wouldn't buy it for that reason.....for 3/4 mi. or less walks.

The ease of set-up intrigues me. If it's easier than what I'm using.....it's gotta be great.

I'll be honest......I don't think I sat for more than 6 hours more than once or twice, last year. And.....I'm a sitter....unless it's prime time (which I'll stand for). I'm more still that way.

Like I said....I'm gonna sit in one. I've got a cushy comfy model. I want another climber that I'll use "sometimes". If this one's it....so be it. If not....I love what I'm using....and I'll get another similar model.

How long are you guys hikes in.....where this is of so much importance to you?...the weight (3lb) advantage and the "packability")?
