RE: Climber ?
For comfort you cannot beat the Tree Lounge, as has been stated here many times.
Yes, I know MANY will come on, saying they are to heavy, to noisy, they slip, and many other coments. Still there is only one for comfort...........The Tree Lounge!!
As to heavy, the new ones are very much lighter in weight. As to noisy, that depends on how you handle them. Yes, there are ones that are much more quiet, but your lucky to be able to spend 2 hours in them.
As to slipping, I believe all the reports I have read have been due to "user error". Only time mine ever slipped on me, was one time I tried to "hang it on a knot on the side of a tree". Of course it slipped off, and I dropped bout 6 to 10". Fault of the Tree Lounge? NO!!! With my hunting gear, I am about 290 to 300#'s when hanging there, and if its going to move, the weight is bound to move it!!
The biggest objection I have to it is that you hang so far from the tree. Especially, if you are standing in the Bow Hunting Adaptor.
Comfortable. You Bet!! On several occasions I have spent 12 to 13 1/2 hours in mine without comming down once, and was comfortable the whole time!!!
There are some that are more quiet while climbing, but NONE as quite for spending the hole day in. THEY SIMPLY DO NOT SQUEEK & CREAK WHEN ONE MOVES IN IT!!!

hey pistol trainer i have a couple of questions for ya..i have seen the ads and infomercials on tv and have heard all the people saying great things about the tree loung but when you sit in it from what i have seen you are allmost lieing down in it..does this make it hard to shoot out of???and what about bow hunting out of it??

Straight shooterIf one wants, it can be hung almost horozintal, however I always hang mine at a steeper angle..........hangs much more stable that way, and you sit almost normal..........sit up straight enough that I shot my one buck out of it this year sitting up.
As to bow hunting from it, it has available, what they call a bow hunting adaptor, which I would not be without even for rifle hunting, which is a platform that attaches to the lower section, on which you can stand up, and make bow shots to 300+ degrees.
