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.

lemme know how it works out..personally, it looks like $13, i dont think I'd get more than 5 feet off the ground on that, and thats still risky. it looks like the floor is gonna give right off the bat!

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

As long as you like it...certainly worth $13 though.

I will only buy quality ladderstands from now on...

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.

That stand retails at Walmart for 50 bucks. Hell of a deal!! It's an ameristep. I would trust that thing with no problem. I love hang ons. Nothin betta. I like the climbers occasionaly

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. :bash:

wow that is a great deal!! i have one and i was lookin to get another one and i do like them very well!!

wont find a better deal than that.....if you did not attach the price tag pic i would not have believed you!

$13 is darn cheap. If they don't work out, you're not out alot of money.

It sucks carrying a climber in and out along with a crossbow/gun/gearbag.
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.

thats a great deal, but personally after using my 2 gorrilla stands and seeing how comfortable they are, I dont think I could use one of those even if it is 13 bucks

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.

That reminds me, I need to get new cables for my climber. They are about five or six years old. My stolen climber had chains, a little heavier, but longer lasting, I think.

Last year I got two Gorilla Greyback climbers @ the same Walmart for $45.00 each.
They are nice, but they don't compare to my Treewalker..
I still use them.
