I've hunted out of my revolution for the last two season and love it. I never have a problem walking with it too much. I've walked a couple miles with it on my back.

The foot rest DOES fold up while you are carrying it. It IS VERY comfortable, and yes you can stay in it all day. Not sure how big you are. I'm 6-2, 255#.

I sold a tree lounge and got this. The T.R was VERY comfortable as well, and I didn't want to give that up. The revolution is great, very easy to set up, easy and quiet to climb with (after practicing). I think it would be a good buy.
