RE: Wanted!! Any ideas
Cleetus it seems to me that it isn't the stand, it is the sentimental part of it to you. No way that that stand is as safe, as easy to climb with or ascomfortable as the climbers I have used, but if you are happy with it then why change................

I know its hard to stay sometime but if you had one of these big nice stands like were talking about you could nap a little and it want be long till its time to hunt the afternoon and you will already be there ,, i have had deer come in and wake me up in the middle of the day ,so it really makes a better hunter out of you by helping you be more comfortable and staying safer.

swamp rooster, is your stand a climber? Can you stand up in your stand?
I bought me a new River's Edge Gator Folding Climbing Treestand last year and I hate the thing. Didn't like how it fastened to the tree, I didn't feel secure in it at all. My stand has the angle ironand metal plates on each side of the V section of my stand that dig into the tree. I slipped a few times while climbing with the River's edge stand but I never slip with my stand.
