RE: Which tree stand?
love my tree lounge but you do need to simplify and get the set up and take down process down pat. i have found many short cuts. i can do mine in the dark and have learned to install it just as quiet as the rest of them. i recently bought the new lighter version. i think its 19 lbs so it should compete with most stands. if you cant hunt all day whats the sence of buying a stand that is uncomfortable.you could always put the wheels on it and also have a ready deer cart. you could attach all your gear and just wheel it in. put some glow paint on the knobs and silicone where the flat bars attach and your quiet as any stand. i laugh at the guys stuffed up on those platform type stands with the seat no bigger than the yellow pages. i can sleep in mine if need be and have become pretty good at doing # 1 off it if i forget my bottle. the tree lounge aint no toy and is meant for serious all day action. good luck in choosing!
