I love my Hunters View Hawk climber, i can sit in it all day long and feel 100% secure and safe. This year though im getting the Summit stirrups to put on, im so sick of the straps. But then again, arent we all.

I have a summit viper but I'm eyeing up the lone wolf alpha hand climber. 14.5 lbs!!! I think I'm going to try it. But I like the viper.

I really like my Ol Man climber. I hear they are back in buisness.
Anyone seen the new ones yet? They are supposed to have a aluminum
version.

I had a buckshot by bigshot or was it a bigshot by buckshot? Can't remember...It was nice but was heavy and time consuming on setup and tear down. Bought a Summit Viper and love it. Much quieter, easier and lighter.

Other postes have interested me in the lone wolf but I probaly won't be leaving my summit for a while.

My Summit Python. They do not make it anymore but it doesn't have a bar in front of you either.

I just picked up the Equalizer and like it alot. Real quiet and safe with the leveling system. Also locksin real solid and you can use it facing towards or away from the tree.

This does have a climbing aid, doesn't it? If not how does a one piece get up a tree? Just curious.My brother uses a loggy and I have used it, a 2 piece I would call it. It was all right. We looked for a newone at a show and all they offered wasone with a seat that looked like it would hold about a half agallon of water on a rainy day. He was disappointed.
Yes there is a climbing aid. I bought it with my last one thinking I'm getting older and it would help in the climb. Hated it from the get go. Used it three times and gave it away. I can get it back if I do need it in my greying days.

To get up a tree with one piece is very easy. Even easier when getting down. You just shimmy up by hugging the tree and pulling your legs up. I tell you I feel much more secure hugging that tree. To get down on most trees (12" in diameter)I do a fireman slide to the bottom. I can climb trees from 18" down to 8". Like I said why would you want two pieces verses one?
