Yea, the equalizer company is in Wilmington NC if I'm not mistaken. I currently have a Lone Wolf but if I were going to get another climber it would be the Equalizer. I really would like the ability to adjust as you climb up the tree.I am 6'1" and about 190#. My Lone Wolf hand climber is what I use most of the time because of the light weight backpacking and I do use it for all day sits but the sit and climb seat is way more comfortable.
