I have the older version of the Treelounge. I have never found it to be too much of a burden to carry. With the bow hunting platform it is a little more noisy while being carried. It is a very comfortable "all day" stand too. For gun hunting, to me it is as good as they come. The bow platform is smaller than I'd like it to be and sometimes when I go to stand up, it creaks! If I were looking for a climber for strictly bow hunting I'd look at some of the others on the market though.
