Ol'man or similiar Gorilla, nothing more comfortable than the mesh seating. Easy, quiet, packs easy, assemble easy. Had a Summit, sold it and bought the Ol'man. My preference because it was ease/packing better.

I used an API for the last 10 years. This year I bought a Summit Viper X5. I will be using it Friday for the 1st time. I can hardly wait!

Ol'man is what I use for my climber. Have had some good long naps in that baby.

I was looking up the Ol'man tree stand and found this: http://www.cpsc.gov/cpscpub/prerel/prhtml04/04530.html

Might want to look farther into the company. According to this site, the company went out of business.......
