A deal I couldn't pass on
Don't get me wrong I love my climbers, but I worry when I sometimes leave then in the woods over night or extended time.
Well , ran across these at Walmart.
Red tag/reduced pricing.
Remington Hang on treestands......... $13.00
I bought three of them.
I figured I could put them up as a perminate stand and no worries for that price.
Beats losing a $300.00 climber.

Rated at 300 lbs. and even comes with a harnes.
I love the climbers for moving from tree to tree, but hate carrying them in and out.
85% of the time I sit in the same tree over and over anyways, so for $13.00 and the cost of some steps I can leave it and not worry about it like I do when I leave the $300.00 climber.

Not Comfortable
Stands like that will provide a good hunt for only an hour or two. They are not comfortable at all. I know because I have a couple in the woods right now almost like those. Don't hang them where you expect to spend a lot of time.

Looks like a great deal to me. I hope they work out for you. May have to look at the buckle too. I don't trust most buckles. One time I was in a tree and I noticed the buckle "while" I was installing it in the tree. It didn't really bother me that much putting it up, but when time finally came to hunt it, I couldn't! I looked at the buckle and there was a small thin metal piece. I said to myself... "This whole stand, myself and my gear are being held, really, by that little bitty metal piece!"
Good luck and good purchase.

The picture make it look weak, but it isn't at all.
