to add to this...there are climbing tree stands as well they open more opportunities...weight of the climbing tree stand is a big factor. The walk in with a 25+ stand is ok...walking out it feels like 100lbs lol. Always let someone know where you will be hunting in case something happens. A blind is ok if you can take it in take it out...but most public places and even private your stuff has the possibility of getting stolen..
