The Lone Wolf is very user freindly, light, and super quiet. I have the sit and climb and here is an example of how easy the adjustment process is. Have you ever climbed a tree for the first time and under or over estimated the circumference of the tree at the height you wanted to hunt? Well....I have and instead of climbing down I can sit in the seat and make the adjustment in the tree. Yes... I wear a safety belt and I practiced it at ground to gain a level of confidence. I don' t always hunt the same tree and this saves alot of time. Anyway... it is just a easy treestand to use. I almost forgot it packs up just as easy and is not awkward to wear.
