No, the weather's not any different up here, but I am looking for some recomendations on a climbing tree stand. I have a 8year old "ol'man" stand that is wearing out. I love it for two reasons. First is it folds down flat! Most stands I see my friends carry look like they have giant suitcases on their backs. Second is the front rail is a built in gun rail that I can flip over when bow hinting. This means when it's up or down, there's no front rail to hit my knees! Looking for some big tall guys to give advice.

Summit Goliath. Rated at 350#.
I believe the Lone Wolf Climber is rated for 350 too.

Note to myself, Don't piss DE.Hunter off.

Myolder brother is 6' 7" and is almost 25 pounds heavier. He loves the Summit Goliath.
HCH,
Yep. I agree. I do my best not to p/o my brother also.

I'm 6'10" about 350 and I use a Summit Goliath. Awesome stand, very sturdy, very roomy. Definitely going to be the one you want. Lone Wolf is rated to 350, but uncomfortable as hell. They have a new one this year though too, Summit 180 Max, even bigger than the Goliath, definitely worth a look.

Summit Goliath...most comfortable stand I've ever hunted out of...plenty of room.

I'm not that large... but at 6' 245lb the Goliath sure is a comfortable and roomy stand!

i am to long for a stand or ground blind next year. my mom and dad says i must wear a safety harrnes, but i cant find a safety harrness the will hold 325 +

Please dont kill me. Please. Just kidding. I am a worm compared to you. You could crush me if you wanted. All I have compared to the is a sense of humor. I hope you do.

Lot of big boys around heresay the Goliath.

Goliath.It's the stand for the big man. The front baris of no concern for bowhunting.

Here's a good climber, the higher the better.
