RE: gorilla Kong Stand
I will agree they are quiet and good construction but man unless the guy's who say they aren't heavy have never used other stands i would strongly disagree they are the heaviest stands I have ever hung. My buddy has about 6 of different sizes and they are ball busters to hang compaired to my summits and others I have. I bought 3 new field and stream stands list year for $30 and they are the best under $50 stands I have ever bought, they fold, carrry and hang great, much lighter. They make a little bigger model for $50 but I'm good with the smaller platforms. I would recomment the F&S over the, you need a Gorilla, to hang them but both are quiet and well built.
