i got the sit n' climb before last bow season looking for a lightweight, easy to set up, and compact stand. it now ranks as my number one climbing stand. the comfort of the seat is a little harsh after long stays. if you can, borrow one from someone in your area and give it a try. i prefer my lone wolf for my style of hunting on public lands. in and out, quick and quiet. i guess it really does come down to your style of hunting. if you spend all day on stand it might not be for you. if your mobile and change locations according to deer movement, its the ticket.
