Most affordable climbing treestand and ground blind
I was just wondering what the most affordable climbing tree stand that is also comfortable and a good ground blind for archery. And is ebay a good place to buy a climber and ground blind or should I get it straight from cabela's, or a bass pro shop or something along those lines. Any help would be great. Thanks.

Summit makes a Viper Classic that is all steel construction that sells for around $150. It is a few pounds heavier than the aluminum constructed stands, but is very comfortable. I have used one for several years.

Last weekend I made a ground blind out of some 550 cord and camo burlap. I tied the cord tothree trees in a V shape and draped the burlap over it. Some zip ties also came in handy. I sat behind it in a lawn chair.

Afordability should be low on the list of qualities you want in a climber. If the climber has it all it's worth it, unfortunetly none do and some charge way to much.
Just had one that had "a lot" start crumpling on me 3/4 the way up a tree. I finished the climb, hunted and started down. Didn't thinkthe standwas going to make it to the bottomin one piece as it started cracking as soon as I started down. By the time I hit bottom it was toast. Not good butI learned something else I want in a stand, greaterreinforcement were the stand contacts the tree as that's wereit seperated, like making a wish only a bad one.

Local shop has a pile of Ground Maxx Eclipse blinds for $69. They are regularly $169.99. Shipping souldn't be that bad.
I bought one...they are very nice hub style blinds with shoot through mesh.
