PORTABLE TREE STANDS
I NEED TO GET A NEW PROTABLE STAND, BUT THERE ARE SO MANY TO CHOOSE FROM.
I WANT TO GET A HANG ON STAND BECAUSE ALOT OF THE TREES IN MY AREA ARE NOT STRAIGHT ENOUGH FOR A CLIMBER.
CAN ANYONE GIVE ME SOME SUGGESTIONS?
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE STAND?
DOES ANYONE HAVE A SUMIT? (THEY LOOK LIKE NICE LIGHT STANDS, THAT GO UP EASY, BUT IF NOT LET ME KNOW.)

RE: PORTABLE TREE STANDS
I am completely happy with the Gorilla line of stands specially the silverback series.
I have the silverback Lite which is great if you have to pack in and out.
The Silverback has a bigger seat and platform than the lite so I have it in a perminant position at the lease.
Their climbing sticks are good as well I have a set of 3 x 3' which combined with the Silverback Lite only weigh 18lbs and is perfect for packing in and out.
On the perminant stand I have the stackin sticks which can get me up to 18' but they are not really suited for a pack in pack out day hunt.

I can't speak highly enough of the Summit Headhunter Lite ( I think it's called the Headhunter X4 now) and the Bucksteps combination. Easiest stand to hang and rock solid and very light at only 10.5#.
