RE: climber deer stand
I have used them ALL,. Summit Goliath was my last for about 5 years till I tried the Equalizer. Hand down on this one. If you Summit users ever get the money to afford one or even just totry it out at a show or something I think you will be changing also.

RE: climber deer stand
no thanks, i have used an Equalizer before and my Goliath is more comfortable and easier to use. the ONLY advantage the Equalizer has is that it gives you the option to hunt facing the tree if you want.

I have a summit viper and a tree lounge. I like both as they have their good qualities. I don't have an adapter on my TL because I would not feel safe that far away from the tree. I use my Summit for bow hunting and some gun hunting.

RE: climber deer stand
i bought my lone wolf due to its superior ability of the way its made it will make no noise when stepping back and forth. VERY QUIET and lightweight. dont mind the seat, but i am not overweight. Does anyone notice any main difference in climbing ease between the two. There are probably certain advantages to each one you just gotta choose what it is you are after

RE: climber deer stand
I own both the Summit Broadhead Backpacker and the Lone Wolf Hand climber. There are pro's and con's on both.
Summit is heavier,more comfortable for a long sit but noisier to set up. The Lone Wolf is much lighter,the seat can get uncomfortable for anextended sit, but it is extremely quiet.
If I had to pick one, I would go with the Lone Wolf. Just my $.02.

RE: climber deer stand
I am 59 years old, 6' 1" and 250#. I climb about every specie of tree that we have here in the deep south. Frompines to hard barked hickories to slick barked sycamores. Believe me, I use only a HD , secure climber.Though others apparently have, I have had zero problems with and have 100% confidence in the original Ol' Manclimbers of which I have 7 "Grand" versions. Also have used the new Summit that belongs to my cousin. I forget which model. It is one of their newer HD aluminum models. It is super.Climbs easily, sturdy. comfortableand stiff ... and quiet.I believe you will not go wrong with any of the new Summit models.Too bad the old style Mississippi made "Ol' Man" stands are apparently gone for good.
