i agree, the extra room is nice but every pound counts when packing in.

I bought a harness like this off ebay and put on my goliath, makes packing in alot easier

I'VE GOT A GOLIATH SS & A VIPER SS MAKE SURE YOU GET A LINEMAN'S CLIMBING BELT HUNTER SAFTY SYSTEM MAKES IT USE THIS TO STAY TIDE TO THE TREE AS YOU GO UP & DOWN. DONT WANT YOUR FIRST TIME TO BE YOUR LAST...

I HAVE A SUMMIT GOLIATH SS & A VIPER SS LOVE THEM BOTH I WILL JUST SAY THIS WHICH EVER 1 YOU GET TAKE TIME & LEARN TO CLIMB ON A TREE @ A PARK OR IN YOUR OR A FRIEND'S YARD, BEFOR YOU TAKE IT TO THE FIELD. ALSO MAKE SURE YOU BUY A HUNTER SAFTY SYSTEM CLIMB BELT, SO YOU CAN LEARN TO STAY TIDE TO THE TREE AS YOU GO UP OR DOWN. REMBER SAFTY FIRST. GOOD LUCK.......

you know, you just gave me idea.

i think i could build a ladder stand that would operate off a battery to raise and lower it up a tree.

then as you said, put wheels on it,i used to use wheel chair wheels to haul mine into woods...just think, sproul ladder stand that could put it up in 2 minutes and take down in 2 minutes or so.

Awesome climber, I just bought one and used it for the first time this weekend & I loved it. Very sturdy and comfortable.

Awesome set up Rev!!! Who did you buy it from & for how much? Thanks in advance.

wait until you see my new invention i am working on.

a POWER TELESCOPING LADDER TREESTAND that can be put up in 3 minutes.
