Rick,
Thanks for the info. What's the namebrand on these? I don't have a store locally but was hoping to maybe order them off the internet but I can't find anything like you're talking about?? Has anyone else had any luck locating them on their web site?? Thanks.

Rick,
I went out and bought one last night after work. They had quite a few so I may buy another one. Haven't had any experiences with a hang on though, just a climber.
Thanks

i bought 3 last night (one for me, two for a buddy). the platform is 25x20 but it's actually curved so i'm not so sure about that size. i forget the name brand but it's a great deal for the money. looks like one of the easier stands i've seen to put up.

2 things to watch
1) squirrels will eat the nice cushioned seat
2) squirres will eat the straps
That being said, they are a good buy for the money. Just be carefull when you climb in to make sure they don't come off the tree.
I prefer using chains w/ a boomer to cinch them down. they are there to stay & they don't make any noise once hung. I personally am going to ladders where ever I can as they are so much easier to get in and out of. Comes w/ maturity/age.
