RE: climbing stands?
I've hunted several brands and Summit is the best by far. They are extremely light and the cable system they have for locking on a tree is great. Also, I weigh about 250# and the strength of the stand is more than ample. I have the "Extreme XL" and have used it for several years. The seat in mine is an air bladder type which is extremely comfortable. Last year it dry rotted and started leaking. I called Summit and the next day I had a new seat on my door step - no questions asked. The new stands have a foam seat so I guess more people had the same problem. Based on that service I will be buying a new one next year.
