i have the lone wolf system...nothing but praise

i just bought a remington 300 mag treestand from The Sportsmans Guide it is pretty light and big (24 x 34 1/2) it comes with backpack straps and safety harness and removable seat that folds up quietly and makes no noise what so ever

lone wolf hands down its easy to put up and stong and noise free... no question about it they are worth every penny i spent on them i own 2 of them and im getting 2 more this spring at the wi deer and turkey expo

the lone wolf tree stand is in my veiw the best on the market that i hunted out of for the past 23 yrs ... they are easy to put up and easy to move ,, they are safe and quiet ,, for my money they are worth every penny i spent on them, i own two and next year im buying 2 more ps when i look at hunting gear its like this u get what u pay for like buyng a 700$ rifle, u dont put on a 100 $ scope ,,ect u get what u pay for and i feel the lone wolf stands are worth there weight in gold PS and i dont work for the company lol::::::::::::::

Depends on what you want it for. I have about 12 "permanent portables". these are just cheap, fairly large, good solid stands. We leave them up all year and occasioally move them. they are fairly heavy. These are all Rivers Edge Bigfoots. Comfortable and rock solid!

If you're looking for a good strap on syle stand that you'll bring other places and put up and down alot I'd spend alittle more money and buy a Chippewa Wedgeloc. Super, super quick to put up and rock solid! A very high quality stand very quick level set-up.(adapts quickly to many tree angle and situations)
