Simple...Lightest,easiest to pack up and carry,and of course $$ i appreciate your input in helping me out here! I got a Summit Bullet Backpacker for $200 shipped to my door! Helluva deal if you ask me. (Thanks again)

You get what you $$$$ for99% of the time.

I go with the $30 walmart stands and the $30 walmart 15' climbing sticks. $60 for the whole shabang.

You can't say it much better than that. My wife uses a Gorilla, Silver Back and it is an incredible stand. Lightweight, large platform, and the seat is very comfortable.A stand like thiswill definately set you back but it is worth it in my opinion.

yup thats what i do too but foot pegs instead of climbing sticks

I haveseveral of thebuckshot bigshots and just this year I bought a treewalker. I will be using my buckshots as backups this year. I am 6'2 and there is a ton of room and it is very light to me. I hunt exclusivly from a portable and would recommend this stand to any one.

Here's his new stand. You'll love it Twils.....
