Cloud 9- It' s nice to hear from someone else that' s
used the Chippewa stands
....I' ve used them for
3-4 years now. I know what you mean about
sounding like a sales rep[&:], tough to get hunters
to try a product that costs so much without actually
giving it a try themselves....
but, they really
are a awesome product
[:-].
Everyone I' ve
shown my stands to, ( which includes all my hunting
partners and several other friends) have eventually
purchased a Chippewa stand....and they all love
' em
.
I' ve got both the Wedge-Loc & the Chief, the
platforms are the same size. The Wedge-Loc
weighs 15 lbs. w/a 400 lb. wgt. limit and the
Chief weighs 9 1/2 lbs. w/a 220 lb. wgt. limit.
Patapsco Mike- I' m going to have to disagree with
you, I' ve owned the LW stand (I still use the LW
climbing sticks) and though it' s a decent stand,
it' s not of the same quality as the Chippewa' s.
I really think if you had a chance to use one of
the Chippewa' s you would agree, a video really
doesn' t do the stands justice. As I mentioned
above, the Chief only weighs 9 1/2 lbs, so it' s
not heavier...and I don' t see how it' s bulkier?
I know it' s every bit as solid as the LW, more
comfortable, and easier to hang.
