Default Lone Wolf hang-on stand

I just spend my bow season hunting out of a Lone Wolf hanger. I gotta tell you, it's a nice stand.
I hunted out of an API for about 10 years. This stand is a big cut above that one. I mostly hunt public land so I generally have to carry it in, put it up, and take it down, a lot. With the strap-on hanging hook, it's extremely quick and quiet to put up and take down. On one occasion, I had just gotten it up on a morning hunt. I had just got settled and a doe popped up out of the weeds 40 yd. away. It had been raining earlier. She shook herself off, stretched, preened, and dropped right back down. She never knew I was there.
It's absolutely silent when you're in it. I can move my feet with deer in range and not have them hear me. I couldn't do that with the API.
The one drawback is the length of the straps. It only fits on trees 19" or smaller. It does limit the size of the trees you can hunt out of.
