I think I have 12 tree stands, 3 ladders, 2 double bulls, one ghillie suit and one leafy suit and  several seats. My wife has claimed all the best stands so, truth be told, from day to day, I am not sure.

My Equalizer climber is the only one I have and use.  I never cared for loc ons and sold the 3 I had last year.

I have 6 in place right now. I'd really like to be able to still hunt or spot and stalk, but it just is not practical where I hunt. It's super thick. I'm stubborn and will still try though.

My personal stands: 2 loc-on Spirits, 1 loc-on Lem, 1 ladder, 1 tree suit, and 1 sneaky sak.

Caney Creek property in Kansas: 157 stands as of the end of last season. Everything from tree crotch platforms to pop-ups to 4 man shooting houses.

Caney Creek property in Alabama: 41 stands, hang on, ladder, and ground blinds.

I prefer using the Loc-on Spirits if hunting an area a couple days or more. Tree Suit or sneaky sak for pack in hunts or quick hunts. Can fit both in my hydration pack at the same time with enough steps to get 16 feet up. And they are light enough I don't really notice I'm carrying them.

I have 1 climber I rarely use, but I added a Chippewa and a Guido this year.  I mostly hunt from the ground, but there are a few spots I want to hunt from a tree, most on public land.

I have two pop ups and 8 or 9 natural blinds set up on private land and I am sure I can find some blowdowns as the season moves forward.

Right now I have 10 ladder stands on 167 acres. This is all big timber. There are two other ladder stands that are more rifle stands. Have 2 new ladder stands to put up this weekend. That about maxes me out. They are all in funnels, on ridge lines etc. I hunted out of a climber almost exclusively for several years but there is nothing like sneakin in and gettin up in a ladder stand. The wife asks, how many stands do you have now? I can't tell you honey.   :)

5 Lock-ons, 2 ladders, 1 climber.  I don't use the climber much though because I hunt pretty limby trees.

Only one at a time, as I spend more time still hunting and using stands of immediate opportunity it is difficult to set up multiple stands. If I had the land to do it I could see 4-5 stands and alter depending on weather and wind conditions.
