Christmas is coming and my boy Joe, gave a subtlle hint he was looking for a climber=type stand from Santa Jim. I'm on the dark side of these devices but I know that of utmost concern to me is the safety issue. Tell me your experience as to brands, models and approximate cost. I'm interested in hearing about good and bad experiences so that Santa can make the wise choice for his best friend and hunting partner. I thank you in advance for your time, knowledge and concern.
