the lone wolf tree stand is in my veiw the best on the market that i hunted out of for the past 23 yrs ... they are easy to put up and easy to move ,, they are safe and quiet ,, for my money they are worth every penny i spent on them, i own two and next year im buying 2 more ps when i look at hunting gear its like this u get what u pay for like buyng a 700$ rifle, u dont put on a 100 $ scope ,,ect u get what u pay for and i feel the lone wolf stands are worth there weight in gold PS and i dont work for the company lol::::::::::::::
