Tree Stand

I like my lone wolf assault, coupled with three lone wolf sticks for a great packable combo. If a bit smaller than you prefer they also have other slightly larger models like the alpha available. The stands are quiet, adjustable in angle, and pack great with military pack straps.

always loved Loc-On stands but the seat is just a little to low for me, wish they would fix that and bar bites in my legs.  Got a chippewa stand couple years ago and am impressed, little pricey but for a stand that will last lifetime, this is it.

Another vote for screaming eagle, rock solid and don't move once set !!

[maxwell]

chippewa hands down- easy to set up screaming eagles are nice but the chippeaw is much easier.
imo

Guys just a safety note :

Here in WV we had a dedicated bowhunter that was  killed when the cables that hold the platform failed 2 years ago . I remove mine and add chains . Yes it makes them heavier but I pplce my stands before I hunt . Anyhow be careful please .

The very best I've ever used is a Climax.

Chippewa Wedge-Loc I don't use stands anymore because of my legs but when I did I liked the Chippewa Wedge-Loc I weigh in around 345# and felt safe.

Check with "Big Jim" If it can handle that man it has to be safe.

I agree with those who like the Gorilla stands. I wish I had bought more of them years ago before they redesigned the Kong stands and increased the price. I still have a few, and they're excellent stands.

I have had several and have chose to sell the millenium's and the Gorilla's.

They both make a good stand and yes, they are rated for 300lbs.
I use them both although I am normally about 310 in the buff. Never hunt that way though and would guess I weigh about 325 with all gear.

The Gorilla's are great for economical reasons and also quite comfortable.
The Milleniums are by far the easiest stands to hang and are my preferred stands for ease of use and comfort. I pay nearly twice as much for milleniums for my personal use as I do for the gorilla's but just love them.
I own a lonewolf that is rated at 350 and am not very fond of it. It works fine and is well built, but quite heavy and could never get it tight enough to stop squeaking. On top of that, I have plenty of padding everywhere except my rear end and there seat leaves a lot to be desired.
thanks, bigjim

I run the lone wolf alpha with 3 lone wolf climbing sticks.  Seems to work very well for me.

I used a Lone Wolf Alpha for the first time last year.  I was so impressed with them that I ended up becoming a dealer and have been converting over my hang on stands to Lone Wolf.  

Quality comes with a price, but in the long run I think this is a good example of where it pays to spend up front.  Some of the other stands mentioned fall into that catagory as well.
