I understand that the Millenium is very comfortable.

I had that happen to my top section one time. However, I know what happened and it was entirely my fault. I had the seat section angled too high and when I sat back in the seat it slipped. It scared the crap out of me, so I understand how you feel.

Comfort wise, how do the Milenium stands compare to a good climber?

I sat in a millenium for 6 hours this afternoon and was as comfortable as i have ever
been in any climber

I might be getting old or it might be the number of kids I find myself taking hunting these days but I use ladderstands almost across the board these days.And more and more I find myself buying the double ladder stands.Theyre easy to get into, quiet when set up properly, comfortable, the double ones are pretty room if you want to bring someone along or just want to stretch out a little while your waiting.

I did buy one new hang on this year and I been using it where the trees are to small for a ladder or if I just want to hunt an area a couple times and move on.

The trees around here just arent good for climbers, we bought one quite awhile ago and used it one season and its collected dust since.

Do you have a brand of ladder stand or seat type that you prefer? All the ones I have or have used are terribly uncomfortable to me.

Summit made a nice fold up climber for one year...when I realized that model was discontinued I bought 2..They are like the Viper but fold up to 4 inches..I love it..If I had my own land to hunt..I'd rather make a few permanent wooden stands..but in a WMA, the climber is the way to go..you don't want folks figuring out where you hunt..I hunt alone because deer hunting is very difficult in my neck of the woods.

I redo my own cables at 5.00 a set..The shrink tubing can be purchased on ebay and I had to buy some new nuts{2} for the braces..They were 20.00 } -: not good but necessary..I try to sit all day and they are very comfortable..
