A deal I couldn't pass on
#12
Why leave a climing stand? I would rather pack my stand in than worry if someone would steal it from the base of a tree. Where as hanging stands are more of a hassel to hang and take down. So leaving $300 dollar stand in the woods is something you do? Even on private land I would not leave one I don't get it. 

I only leave it on private land, but anything can be taken/stolen from anywhere.
I have a Treewalker climber and love it, but these $13.00 stands with some steps, I'll hang them and leave them in for years.
Won't carry them in and out at all, plus I never set more then 3 hours so comfort isn't a major concern for me with this cheap stand. Use my climber for longer sitting and moving to different spots.

Ya that's nice and light. Even if you are only a little bit up, your off the ground. I had a climber stole once. I was even able to track'em in a light snow. But O'well I got another one. The one thing I can't stand is leaving a stand in the woods during off season. People got treehouses, permanent stands, that just become unsafe and delapidated if not maintained. I always take my stands down after the season and store too.

They are nice, but they don't compare to my Treewalker..
I still use them.
