O.K. guys. Here I go again.......[:@]. Although I just asked a question about Api and Summit treestands, I've done some more research[&:] and am now considering either the Chippewa Wedge-Loc treestands or the Lone Wolf treestands. So which brand is better, in terms of lifetime reliability and comfort? They're both pretty expensive so I want as much feedback as possible. What's you're experience with either?

By the way thanks to the response to the Api and Summit questions.

cabage

experience is awsome with both. i own two lone wolfs, the alpha and the hand climber. no complaints. i have hunted with my outfitter for two years from wedgelocs. no complaints. the new wedge locks are lighter than the lone wolfs, but are only capable of dealing with tree lean forwards and back. the lone wofls offset bracket allows it to do just this and with two easy chinch (and i mean easy) staps is ulta-mega stable. truth is you cant go wrong with either. i don't know why any hardcore serious hunter would buy any treestand other than these two.

I couldn't agree more cabage.I have two chippewa wedgelocs and love them,I am going to buy one more this winter @ the Illinois deer and turkey classic.I like how fast I can set my wedgelocs up and how easy they break down.I got my first one on ebay for cheap.When I get my third wedgeloc I'll probably sell my API baby grand, it is a comfy stand andd light but taKes longer to set up.

Don't forget to throw Millenium in there...they are an awesome stand too. All 3 have their place, each is a tad better in different situations. For the hunting I do...the Millenium is a much better fit than the chip or lw is.
