Naturally safety comes first...then quietness, then weight.  Lone Wolf fills the bill for my hang ons.  The sticks are easy to use and fairly easy to carry.

Hey Rob, since I use mine for elk or bear, after safety it's weight, then all the others.

I have a gorilla switchback and lone wolf hang on.Both are quiet.I believe the structure of the LW is better but the Gorilla is more comfy.You can hunt longer if you are more comfy IMHO.I use them both.I look the looks of the Muddy hangon for it has comfy aspects but has great ease of attaching to the tree better than any I have seen.

My favorite of the ones I own is a Loc On with a replacement seat I put on it. Easy to hang, solid if you hang it right. 10#

I am with the group on stability on the tree, weight, and especially comfort.  In addition to all that, I prefer a stand that has a higher seat.  Most of them have the seats so low its an effort for an old dude to get stood up if you get caught sitting down (butt below knees).

By far, the most comfortable stand I ever sat in is the Millenium.  I got them to make me one years ago with a seat that was higher than standard.  I doubt if you could get them to do that now as I think their mfg is our of the Country.  Not sure of that though.

Most religions teach that you earn salvation by keeping rules. Jesus didn't teach that "good people" go to heaven. He taught that "forgiven people" go to heaven. And He invited everyone, no matter what their past, to come to Him and be forgiven.
