Advanced Treestands
« on: December 30, 2016, 11:37:00 AM »
Has anyone tried one of these out yet? I'm thinking about trying one out.  I ground hunt where I can but some areas are better hunted from up high.  Here is the link:  https://www.advancedtreestands.com/product/take-down-i2/

Looks heavy for its size but unique idea.   Not sure how that could help my hunting.  Ever try a lone wolf?   Super easy to hang, lighter, and dead quiet.

It's different,,, but there are simpler, lighter stands on the market.  I think the Lone Wolf Assault with 3 climbing sticks weighs less.

I watched a YouTube review on this treestand and it was very noisy to me when the sales representative demonstrated the installation!  Not for me either... I will stick to ground hunting.

There are other tree stands, of course.  As has been suggested, Lone Wolf makes a very good one.

My ground blind is much quieter and I don't have to climb a tree. I'm getting too old for that.

I have equipment that is way better and 15 years old. I am suspect of those reviews. A quick glance not advanced and I am not interested.

A friend in our local club has one and brought it to a club meeting one afternoon for everyone to see and try out on a tree by the clubhouse. Its nice to be able to take the stand apart piece by piece but I personally don't see any advantages in being able to do that, others might think different, but I like a simple one piece stand.

Just a hang on with the ratchet strap built in.  I don't think I'd bite.

too heavy for me. I like the idea of ratchet straps that might make it easier to install, but I mostly hunt public land and weight is all too important.

Watched the youtube videos and looked at site.  I will stick with my Chippewa stand, strap on tree, stand in strap, hunting.

18.5 lbs. That's not my definition of lightweight. I have stands that when combined with 4 rapid rail sections weigh 18 lbs.
