I was looking for feedback on what climbing stands everybody prefers, I was looking for something small and light. Thanks, Greg

I don't know of anything that is lighter or packs thinner than a lone wolf hand climber. I like mine pretty well and it packs so thin It will actually fit behind the bench seat of a regular cab truck with it all the way back. There's plenty of room on the platform too.

Lone Wolf has a new even lighter version climber, modeled after their Alpha Hang on platform. Weigh 14.7 pounds.

I like the lone wolf stands but won't shell out that much coin for a stand. The summit open shot is 15 lbs and works great with either my longbows or recurves. If you shop around you can find them for a little over 200 bucks.

I've got a Summit Bushmaster that weighs in at only 17 lbs. It's a couple lbs heavier than a Lone Wolf, but for about a $100 difference, I can carry a couple more lbs. It is bulkier and doesn't fold flat like a Lone Wolf, but it's more comfortable once you get in the tree. Like anything, there are trade offs.

Summit open shot is my pick unless you can find an old loggy bayou lite.

At 15# and $100 less and more comfortable, I"ll take my Summit Open Shot.

I have trouble with the floppy band on the lone wolf getting hungry on the bak of the tree

Bonebuster · « **Reply #12 on:** November 19, 2011, 08:59:00 PM »

I have never found the Open Shots` inability to fold flat to be much of a problem.

Never tried a Lone Wolf.

The things I love about the Lone wolf the best are :
I can hang my pack off it and pack both.
It's light.
I can take just the top if I want to ground hunt and I have a seat.
It packs flat.
I can drop the top and it lays flat against the tree giving more room
to move around.
I've had one for quite a few years and love it.
I also have a lone wolf hang on with sticks that I love.

Lone Wolf for me as well.

People around here say the summit vipir for a good climber. However they are compound shooters. Has any one tried a summit vipir with a long bow or recurve??? I've also thinking of a climber..
