RE: Climbing Treestand Recommendations?

I have only ever used two kind. I own an API Grand Slam U-Lite, I like the way it sets up, climbs, and it is very comfortable. I am kinda partial to this one because I have been using it for many years, the only bad thing about it NOW is either the treestand shrunk orI got fatter

Now with the Summit Viper I used ONCE. It was also very comfortable once I got up the tree. It is easy to setup after the first time. I had trouble climbing with it though, the cables wanted to keep wrapping around the bars on the treestand??? I think I was taking too short of strides or something??? It has plenty of room and I wouldnt hesitate buying one over any other climber if I had the option! I was actually looking into the Summit 180 Max, I like the facing tree option!!

The only safety tip I have for ya is with whatever you choose tie the top and bottom part together once you attach it to the tree!!! If for some reason the bottom would kick out you dont want it sliding down the tree!! Gd Luck!
