I'm going to be deer hunting and looking at buying a ladder/stick. Here are my needs. And I'll need a chair to sit in once I get up there. Never hunted from a tree stand before.
1. Light weight- I'm hiking in with it and carrying itout each day.
2. Easy to use and climb with.

I do lots of Public Bowhunting & have to walk in & stands are in & out with you. I use a 3 section 12' ladder from Cabelas (I think they are $39) & a hang on stand (no trimming allowed of trees). The ladder is 7#s & the hang on is 7#s. If you want more than 12' just buy a 2nd. It slips together real easy & ties to tree in seconds. I go in put ladder & stand up in about 10 min with next to no noise EVEN in the dark. I have a pack board I bungie ALL my gear to except my Bow & hike in. Total weight is easy to haul in on the metal pack frame.
Good Luck Oh, everything is rated for 300#s.
I also have a couple 12 foot "ladder stands" I got from Herters a few years back for around $50 I use once in awhile. They weigh 35#s & I use a 2 wheel Deer Hauler to take them in & out with. I've done enough Public Bowhunting (walk in) that I have discovered about the easiest available.
I have "NO" problems shooting Deer at"ONLY" (as many say) 12 feet up.

Thanks for the info. I went down to Sportmen's Warehouse and picked up the Lone Wolf "Alpha/Hang On" and three of the Lone Wolf sticks. They weight a total of 20 lbs.
