I have used a climber type stand since the ""Baker" stand days. The ones out there now are a quantum leap from that design to say the least !

Take a look at Summit and Ol' Man products. Both of these manufacturer's make stout, simple , comfortable and easy to use climbers. Takes a bit of getting used to if you have never tried one. The advantage is how easy is it to relocate. The main disadvantages are additional packing weight of 15 +/- pounds , it is impossible to get into place without making sme noise no matter how you try and sometimes not being able to find a tree large (or small) enough to use where you want to hunt.

Another option is the "hang-on". Put it up now .... wait until conditions are right. Slip in and hunt. But .... a "hang-on" can be tricky to set up and most are rather small. If 15'-20' heights and hanging "out" bother you, then the hang-on will probably not work.
