been asked over and over, Iknow
But I haven't been able to find the answer I was looking for. I did a search and read through 100s of pages but still not satisfied. I am looking for a stand, ANY (hang-on, climber) that can be moved in a seconds notice, alot like a climbing stand, light weight, easy to pack, not bulky, not TOO SMALL, safe feeling. Also a way to get to the stand, be it climbing gaffs ( i currently use) screw in steps take too long, remember I am doing this like a climbing stand. I do not want ot leave the stand in teh woods. I'd like to be as portable as possible. CLimbing sticks are prolly going to be too bulky. Any ideas, thoughts? Is my best bet to hunt on the ground? If thats so, maybe I'll take up fishing........................well no not really.

I forgot, I would like it to be comfortable so I can hunt all day in it. I have a stand right now, too heavy to move around. But too small to stay in without feeling like you are going ot fall every second.

Since nobody has said it - get a Lone Wolf Alpha Hang-On, a set of Lone Wolf climbing sticks, and you're set. The stand itself is extremely lightweight, rock solid, amazingly quiet, and with the new seat it's very comfortable to sit in for long periods of time.
The sticks will get you up 14-15' without a problem, are just as light as the stand, and are built to stack into each other and strap directly to the stand. After you get used to using them as a combo you can have a stand hung in a very short amount of time, and in even less time you can pull it, stack it, and be packing back to your truck.
Here's a pic of a hang-on stand with a set of sticks strapped to it. Total weight: 20lbs.

RE: been asked over and over, Iknow
Although I love Lone Wolf stands, I amwondering about the Loggy Bayou Monarch XL stand. Its light at 10 lbs.(not including footrest), and has the most comfortable seat I've ever seen. Downside isalthough Loggy is now owned by two bowhunters, its manufactured in China(I worry about welds)andI doubt its as quiet as a Lone Wolf. In fact I havea new one in the box, just haven't decided whether to try it out or take it back.

Now, I am not only talking about bowhunting out of the stand all day, I am talking about using a rifle as well. So this stand, the LW one will be suitable for an all day sit?
I noticed you said that they can strap to the back of the LW stand. Is this just for the LW only?
Thanks.
