Wow, I am surprised at all the negative comments about the Sit and Climb. It seems most of them are coming from guys that have never tried one or tried one once or twice, or their brothers cousins nephew had one, etc. At any rate, I will give my input incase there is someone reading that is interested in a Sit and Climb and not just giving advice about something they haven't used.
For the record....the only negative comments I heard WERE from the OP (an owner). I'm on a fact-finding mission (speaking, personally).
Look if you dont want one, then don't buy one. But you should never bash a product you haven't tried yourself.
I agree with that.
If you ever hunt public ground where you may have 45 minute to one hour+walks regularlyinto your stand in below freezing temps- even down into single digits at times the weight, packability and stealthy setup are all critical to your "success".
Completely valid, Scott. I can see where an extra 3lbs. could be a "nuisance" and a "hinderance".....I suppose.
