RE: does weight of your climber bother you?
I have both the old version and new version Treelounges.The old version is somewhat heavier. I use my 4 wheeler but still have to carry my stands some.Once you are settled in the comfort out weighs the chore of carrying.I would only use a climber suitable for all day hunting.The smaller lightweight models would be alright for a couple hour hunt.I wouldn't recommend a Treelounge.There are so many good climbers out there. Talk to people and see what they use and would recommend.See if you can try them out before buying one.Unless you plan on carrying one 5 miles or so I wouldn't worry about a little extra weight. Comfort and safety are my top priorities. Ruger Redhawk
