RE: CLIMBING STAND
I will 2nd something in the Summit line as well! Although do your research before you buy anything. I purchased a Viper and even though I love it, I wish I would have bought a model where the front bar collapses down. I bow hunt 99% of the time and for me...it just gets in the way. Other than that(which was a mistake on my part), I really like it.

I will 3rd the Summit Viper. Most comfortable lightweight full climber I have ever used. Although I have not bowhunted out of it yet, I have talked to people who have and they say the best thing to do about that bar in front is to raise your seat up to the max with straps and keep it at about the height comparable to a strap on stand. Always strap yourself to the tree so you may enjoy hunts again.

I am also a big fan of the Summit stands. The open shot is very light, not as comfortable as a viper, but a lot lighter and easier to carry. I think you would be happy with just about any summit though, just check their lineup out and see what stands gives you the most features at your max weight limit.

I love my loogy climber. One piece, quite and lite. I'll admit I've never used a summit viper, but isn't that the one you need a safety strap between the two platforms because eventually the foot platform will drop while climbing?
