I use a Millenium as well. Awesome stand, very comfy and secure. You can hunt all day out of it if you want, and never get tired or sore.

I will say that all my stand sites are pre-set, with climbing sticks and a bracket....so all I do is pick a site, climb up and hook in my stand. I'm sure this stand would work well as a pack in and hunt right then stand also, I've just never done it that way. I use a climber for that type of hunting.

Millenium makes some nice climbing sticks as well. 20' powder coated, with hooked steps so your feet wont slide off. Check online...there are a few places that sell Millenium stuff for good prices. You buy one stand, multiple ladders and brackets and you are good to go.
