I have used the Ol Man Original for 6 years now & the only qualm I have with it is that it' s a bit heavy(about 25 pounds after I added my personal stuff to it)..When walking a long way though,,I just put my stand,,bow,,& all on my deer buggy & pull it to about 100 yards from my tree so that problemo is solved there..As far as comfort,,I sit all day after the rut kicks in & other than the normal " stove up' s" from bein a statue for 12 hours it' s the most comfortable stand I' ve ever owned..Although they are expensive,,if I were to buy another one,,I would buy the Tritium model simply because of the weight differance..Put in a nutshell(like I need to be at times[:-]),,I like mine better than any on the market..
