RE: Lone Wolf Sit/climb dissappointment!
Check out the Loggy Bayou Illusion. I've got two Loggy climbers and a summit. Summit Bushmaster is my favorite bowhunting rig (no frills, easy to climb, quick setup, fairly light). Loggy Quickdraw is best for rifle (most comfortable and has a front rail, but heavy and long setup time). My old loggy climber is best for long-range walking (10 lbs), but that involves hugging the tree and gettin sweaty.
I plan on trying out one of these Illusion stands - looks like a real winner - they fixed all the Quickdraw's problems.
Another good one looks like Innovative Treestand Company's RECLUSE. Looks like an awesome bowhunting stand. Really slim profile, and WIDE. Folds down, packs light.
I've got champagne taste and beer money.
