wow no one knows of any Youth Climbing tree stands?

I don't know that I have ever heard of a "youth" model treestand. The enormous liability that goes along with selling treestands would probably prohibit all manufacturers from marketing or making directly to youths. That being said, the "lite" version of any of the popular stands would be a good bet.

I love my loggy because it's light but I don't know your age but a lot can go wrong in climbing a tree. If your in your teens then the loggy will be fine. My boy is 7 and I just got him his first bow. I hope by fall he will be able to pull back enough weight to go hunting deer. The stand is my next obstical to over come. I'm thinking about a two man platform.

My son is 12 years old and he packs in his own Buckshot Bigshot. When he was younger, I would pull off the seat and carry it for him. I also carried his fanny pack for him to keep his load as light as possible.

Davidmil and I were amazed at how well he did on his first hunt with us. He was 10 then and really struggled to get that stand to his tree. We were really surprised at how much of a 'trooper' he was.

It's expensive, but Timber Tall makes a 'Lite' version that only weighs about 12#.

Summit makes a smaller verion of the viper I believe it weighs around 16 lbs give or take.

I got my Summit Viper XLS yesterday. They do make a Summit Viper Mini. I'm 15 and can handle it fine. My 12 year old bro can get it up the tree also. It is like 20 lbs.
