RE: does weight of your climber bother you?
I'll sacrifice weight for comfort, you gotta be comfy and be able to sit idle for hours.
A few years back I was relocateing my stand out on my back, and tripped and the weight of the stand sled forward and knocked me out cold, and ended up with a search party looking for me, stitches, and most of all, had to miss the next day hunting. I was in a good spot too.
